Staying on top of your third-party Cloud and SaaS service outages is crucial to maintain the reliability of your own applications. If Discord is your communication tool of choice, you can keep up with such incidents by pushing these events to a Discord channel. Discord webhooks allow external applications to send messages to specific channels within a Discord server. This article describes how to integrate Discord as a channel in your IncidentHub account using webhooks.

Let’s start with things we already know - complex projects are inherently hard to debug. The more complicated they are, the harder it is to debug them. The size of the project naturally defines complexity’s lower bounds, but even the smallest projects can become unnecessarily complex and messy if you don’t pay attention to how you structure them. Though we can’t eliminate complexity, we can manage it effectively with the right approach.

This guide shows you how to easily use Jaeger with OpenTelemetry for improved tracing and application monitoring.

We recently adjusted how we handle “partial writes” with our InfluxDB Cloud Serverless product using the v2 Write API. This only applies to InfluxDB Cloud Serverless customers (those who created their Cloud accounts after January 31, 2023). In the near future, we will make this change for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated and InfluxDB Clustered customers as well.

Role-based access control (RBAC) is essential for data security and customer confidence to ensure that only the right people can gain access to sensitive information.

Prometheus has emerged as the de facto standard for monitoring in cloud-native environments based on several key factors. Prometheus offers a highly scalable time-series database, capable of handling millions of metrics and a pull-based architecture that simplifies network configuration and enhances security. In this blog post, we’ll explore the four primary Prometheus metric types: counter, gauge, histogram, and summary.
