Prometheus Gauges vs Counters: What to Use and When

Jun 30, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Choosing the wrong metric type in Prometheus can lead to inaccurate dashboards, false positives in alerting, and missed indicators of system failure.

As organizations scale their infrastructure, monitoring systems can become a source of noise rather than insight. A clean, straightforward set of alerts for a handful of services can quickly spiral into a mess of overlapping thresholds, redundant triggers, and inconsequential notifications across hundreds (or thousands) of components. This flood of notifications can slow response times, overwhelm engineers, and increase the chance of overlooking critical problems.

Few things hold IT teams back more than a lack of visibility. It’s exponentially harder to solve issues when they originate in parts of the environment you can’t see. That’s one of the big limitations of native tools for monitoring and managing Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Call Quality Dashboard, Admin Center and Service Dashboard, and Meeting Room Pro Dashboard are all constrained to the aspects of Teams that Microsoft controls directly.

Why do hotel rooms have smoke detectors in every room, not just one on every floor?

Jun 24, 2025 By Catchpoint In Catchpoint
Early detection matters. When a problem occurs, you want to know immediately, not after the damage is done. Monitoring isn’t just about visibility; it’s about precision, speed, and proximity to the problem. Just like smoke detectors, you need to monitor in the right places: close to your critical infrastructure, applications, and end users. The sooner you detect issues, the cheaper and easier they are to fix. And that’s where real resilience begins.

Observability Without Tradeoffs: Introducing Powerful New Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline Features

Jun 24, 2025 By Elsie Phillips In Honeycomb
Every day, enterprise companies generate terabytes of observability data while engineering teams are under pressure to cut costs. One of the easiest ways to reduce observability bills is through sampling: intentionally sending only a representative portion of telemetry data, rather than the full volume, to your observability tool. But turning down the dial is risky.

It’s 2 AM. Your phone buzzes. A critical server’s CPU is maxing out again. But this time, the issue isn’t just high usage. It’s heat. As a network admin, you’re trained to monitor traffic patterns, patch vulnerabilities, and respond to performance slowdowns. But high CPU temperature? That’s the silent system killer many still underestimate. Without a proactive plan, it can knock out performance, rack up hardware costs, and shorten the lifespan of your infrastructure.

An open source tool to speed up iOS app launch

Jun 18, 2025 By Noah Martin In Sentry
What do the Snapchat, Airbnb, and Spotify iOS apps have in common? They all use order files to speed up their iOS app launch times. Order files re-order your binary to improve how symbols are loaded into memory. No code changes are necessary, but generating an optimized order file can be cumbersome, so it’s mostly done by larger teams or teams willing to pay for a service like Emerge Tools’ Launch Booster. It just so happens that Emerge Tools is now part of Sentry.

Getting OpenTelemetry Data Into Graylog

Jun 10, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
OpenTelemetry is emerging as the common framework for collecting observability data, and for good reason. It’s vendor-neutral, open source, and designed to collect traces, metrics, and logs in a consistent way. But while most of the buzz is around tracing and metrics, let’s not forget: logs are still the backbone of investigation and response. That’s why Graylog now supports native collection of OpenTelemetry data over gRPC.

Blueprints: Ready-Made Processor Bundles For Your Telemetry Pipelines

Jun 5, 2025 By Adnan Rahic In ObservIQ
We’ve noticed a lot of our customers spend countless hours building and configuring processors. Either parsing JSON, standardizing log formats, normalizing timestamps, masking PII, de-duplicating logs, the list never ends. Most work revolves around recreating the same processor bundles in multiple processor nodes. Bindplane’s new Blueprints solves that boring, repetitive work by providing pre-built processor bundles you can drop into any pipeline with a single click.

How to Monitor Frontend Memory Usage

Jun 5, 2025 By Sematext In Sematext
First of all, by frontend memory usage I mean the amount of memory that a user’s browser needs when using your website or webapp. Secondly, do you have any idea how much browser memory your website or webapp requires? Or do you know if or how much the memory footprint of your website/webapp has changed over the last few months? Or after the recent changes or releases you made? I’m guessing you don’t. Yet, this is important to monitor to avoid a bad user experience.

Smarter alerts using P75 for more signal and less noise

Jun 4, 2025 By Sumitra Manga In Raygun
We've rolled out a new feature in Raygun Alerting that gives you more control over how you track and respond to performance regressions. Starting today, you can now use the 75th percentile (P75) as a filter option for page performance data in Real User Monitoring, such as Core Web Vitals and page load time, right alongside the default 'Average'. This option is available under the "Page/XHR performance change" condition and supports all the Web Vitals metrics we track: Let's break down why this matters, when you should use P75, and how it gives you better, faster insights into how real users are experiencing your site or app.

How to Improve Uptime and Achieve Root Cause Analysis (with Open Source!)

Jun 4, 2025 By Coroot In Coroot
Observability doesn’t begin and end at telemetry or your ELK stack: most open source or vendor tools require configuration, dashboard customization, and may not actually pinpoint the data you need to mitigate system risks. Coroot was designed to solve the problem of time-consuming root cause analysis: it handles the full observability journey — from collecting telemetry to turning it into actionable insights. We also strongly believe that simple observability should be an innovation everyone can afford to benefit from: which is why our software is open source.

Why Datadog Falls Short for Log Management and What to Do Instead

Jun 4, 2025 By Mezmo In Mezmo
Datadog may be the default choice for all-in-one observability, but its logging experience takes a back seat to the broader platform. Logs are primarily designed to feed into metrics and traces, which leads to tradeoffs such as slower search, complex workflows, and a UI that isn’t optimized for log investigations. As a result, Datadog doesn’t align with how developers actually troubleshoot.
