A better Grafana OnCall: Delivering on features for users at scale

Enterprise IT is just a different animal. Whether it’s operating at scale, undertaking massive migrations, working across scores of teams, or addressing tight security requirements, engineers at these organizations can face different obstacles than their counterparts at smaller organizations and startups.

Time Series Is out of This World: Data in the Space Sector

While time series data is critical for space industries, managing that data is not always straightforward. While humans have yet to develop light-speed travel, teleportation or lots of the other cool things we see in movies or read in books, that doesn’t mean we aren’t making progress. Advances in technology are starting, ever so slowly, to blur the lines between science fiction and reality when it comes to outer space.

Using Synthetic Testing for Better Network Observability with Kentik

Mike Krygeris discusses using synthetic testing to maximize network performance and minimize downtime in today’s complex cloud, hybrid, and private on-prem networks. Learn how synthetic testing can help increase observability in all types of networks and web applications.

Is your cloud provider executing network maintenance? Yes, yes they are.

What happens to your apps when your cloud provider performs network maintenance? Kentik helps you monitor your app’s network paths and performance on premises, in the cloud, and in between. Kentik can show you the paths your app uses during normal operations and detect any changes that could cause decreased application performance. Public cloud maintenance is necessary, and with Kentik’s network observability platform, you can see exactly when your cloud provider is doing it and how it’s affecting your application traffic.

Data-driven Network Observability

The network may be the last thing most people think about, but it’s one of the most crucial components of application delivery. Here we discuss the importance of a data-driven approach to network observability. We unpack how Kentik’s approach to machine learning, big data, and a unified data repository can help network operations solve problems faster to ensure a reliable network with great application performance.

Container Network Observability

Justin Ryburn describes the complexities of managing the network in a modern Kubernetes deployment and how Kentik can provide observability. Leveraging eBPF technology allows network engineers the ability to visualize and make sense of the network traffic within the Kubernetes cluster, as well as traffic entering and leaving the cluster. Justin wraps up with a brief demo of Kentik’s beta Kentik Kube functionality.

Network Observability Across the Enterprise

Justin Ryburn describes the complexities of managing a modern enterprise network and the various areas where Kentik can provide observability. Having all of this information in a single platform that is easy to access and highly scalable provides a lot of value to Kentik customers. Justin wraps up with a discussion of Kentik’s roadmap for the future.

The Psychological Impact of Website Downtime on User Trust and Brand Perception
