DNS Monitoring: What to Track and Where to Watch It From

Oct 15, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
DNS monitoring asks your name servers the same question on a timer and checks the answer that comes back. Most teams aim it at their public domain and stop there. That covers half the problem.

In this blog, you'll see: By the end you'll know which half of your DNS nobody is watching. A DNS check sends a query and reads the reply. The reply can fail three ways.

What a Patch Management Policy Should Contain to Keep Systems Secure and Audit-Ready

Oct 14, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
Who decides how fast a critical patch goes out, and who signs off when a production server can't be restarted? For many IT groups, the answer is a mix of one senior admin's judgment, an old ticket and a shared spreadsheet. It holds up fine right until an auditor asks for proof, or that admin leaves. A written policy replaces that guesswork with rules people have agreed to. Owners are named, deadlines are fixed, and there's a plan for the system that can't be patched on time.

Oct 13, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata

Delay and packet loss can rise for hours on a live circuit, and a simple up-or-down check will report nothing unusual the whole time. WAN link monitoring checks the quality of each site-to-site connection by having routers send their own test packets and time the replies.

What is End User Experience Monitoring (EUEM)? How It Relates to RUM and DEM

Oct 13, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
Why do tickets about a slow application keep arriving while every server, link and service check reports normal? That mismatch is the problem end user experience monitoring exists to solve. A healthy server is one thing, but the business notices something else: whether people can finish their work or complete a purchase without delays or errors. Monitoring in most IT operations groups was built to watch the systems from the inside, so it reports CPU load, memory and uptime.

AI Agent And Digital Certificate Inventory: How to Track Your Invisible IT

Oct 13, 2026 By Ignacio Graglia In InvGate
An AI agent and digital certificate inventory is a record of every AI agent and digital certificate an organization runs, with what each one does, who owns it, what it connects to and when it expires or needs a review. IT and IT Asset Management (ITAM) teams build one because both kinds of asset keep critical services running with no hardware to scan, no purchase order to trace and, very often, no owner on record.
