We know monitoring your AWS environment can be difficult, which is why we’re thrilled to tell you about a new application we’ve built to make the entire process easier, more efficient, and more intuitive. We’ve offered AWS monitoring capabilities for some time, but with the AWS Observability application in Grafana Cloud, we’ve distilled our collective efforts into a more integrated and potent solution.

As part of our ongoing efforts to further optimize our customers IT Asset Management (ITAM) operations, we are pleased to announce that InvGate Insight can now be integrated with Microsoft Intune. In short, this integration enables you to add Intune as a discovery source, so that you can access more information on the Microsoft assets in your IT inventory right from our ITAM solution. Join us as we explore how combining both tools can benefit your Device Management capabilities.

One of the real successes of the Agile Software development movement has been the push to have regular, frequent deployments. This has manifested as build and deployment automation and the general adoption of CI/CD. As engineers automate more processes of their software release lifecycle, an important question is how to automate Quality Assurance, which includes resilience testing and, more specifically, Fault Injection.

Behind the scenes of any IT infrastructure lies the ongoing challenge of monitoring and managing never-ending systems, applications, and network devices. As an IT professional, your task list always includes staying ahead of potential issues, minimizing downtime, and navigating disruptive alerts.

You can elevate your IT infrastructure monitoring with AIOps. AIOps offers full-stack visibility, enhancing IT infrastructure monitoring efforts. This lets you transform the familiar monitoring landscape by turning the chaos of constant alerts into a proactive approach to problem-solving. IT infrastructure monitoring challenges typically relate to the complexity of backend systems, especially when it comes to cloud platforms. For example, consider the following.

This post explains how databases optimize queries, which can result in queries running hundreds of times faster. While we focus on one specific query type that is important to InfluxDB 3.0, the optimization process we describe is the same for any database.

DevOps professionals know that ensuring optimal application performance is paramount. More and more customers and prospects interact with companies online, and any hiccup can impact your bottom line. What’s more, companies continue to leverage cloud-native apps for improved flexibility and resource optimization. All of which means that Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools need to evolve.

Kubernetes has emerged as a pivotal force in shaping modern cloud infrastructure. Originating as a brainchild of Google, Kubernetes has evolved into an open-source platform that has revolutionized how applications are deployed, scaled, and managed across a vast network of machines. Its ability to orchestrate containerized applications efficiently makes it an indispensable tool within cloud computing. However, with great power comes great responsibility, particularly in the realm of cost management.

Wherever end-user success is critical to a business, your website’s functionality needs diligent testing. Therefore web application monitoring is required for many organizations. Conducting web application monitoring can also offer a whole host of additional advantages to organizations. For example, tracking user interactions and behaviors within the web application aids your organization in understanding how users engage with your application.

In today’s digital landscape, the performance and reliability of messaging systems are paramount for business operations. Systems like IBM MQ play a crucial role in ensuring seamless communication between different parts of an application, impacting everything from transaction processing to customer experiences. To optimize these systems, it’s essential to focus on robust monitoring, efficient troubleshooting, and effective tuning techniques.
