At Grafana Labs, we are continuing to build integrations that make it easier than ever to observe your systems, no matter which tools or software you choose. Today, we’re excited to talk about the latest integration available in Grafana Cloud: the AWS CloudWatch metrics integration, the first of our fully managed integrations that makes it simple to connect and visualize your data in Grafana.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the early access of our Service Performance Monitoring capability.

SolarWinds® Papertrail™ has supported Heroku almost from the beginning, as an add-on in the Heroku Marketplace and as a compatible standalone log management tool. Heroku’s focus on empowering developers to build and deliver applications by providing an easy-to-use platform as a service fits perfectly with the vision of Papertrail. Both developer-focused technologies can be set up typically in minutes, are easy to use, and offer powerful functions.

Checkly has released a change to the way API keys are created and managed. In the past, API keys were account-scoped. These account-scoped keys have full access rights to your Checkly account and no accountability to which user is using the key. When we originally built Checkly, we made it a tool to enable individual developers to quickly and easily set up browser and API checks. We help ensure your web applications are up and running and send alerts when something goes wrong.

You need to concentrate on the job at hand. At that critical moment in flight, you only want visibility into the alarms that matter. It’s the same with your monitoring environment. Too often, you can be overwhelmed by a tsunami of alarms—thousands of monitoring alerts that all point to the same problem.
