It’s not surprising that most failures are caused by a change somewhere in a system, such as a new code deployment, configuration change, auto-scaling activity or auto-healing event. As you investigate the root cause of an incident, the best place to start is to find what changed. To understand what change caused a problem and what effects propagated across your stack, you need to be able to see how the relationships between stack components have changed over time.

You can integrate Edge Flow Manager (EFM) with Apache Kafka and forward agent heartbeats to defined Kafka topics. Learn how to perform the integration with Apache Kafka. To integrate EFM with Kafka, you need to configure Kafka and EFM properties. EFM supports the forwarding of agent heartbeats and acknowledges messages exchanged on the C2 protocol between the EFM server and MiNiFi agents.

Not too long ago, our CTO, David Cramer, wrote a blog post about how we had deviated from our mission of making it easier for developers to monitor and solve issues in their code, soliciting community feedback to understand developers’ most pressing workflow issues and to bring us back on track.

We are living in an era where everything depends upon data, any application you are using or that you are creating is going to either consume or create data. LogicMonitor REST API makes it easy for customers who prefer to use APIs to access features without performing activities manually via a UI. LM API allows end-users to perform several activities with added security and reduced efforts. As of today, we are offering v1, and v2, and now have v3 as base versions of API & SDK going further.

If you’ve ever had a website or service go down as you were using it, then you’ll understand the irritation of a generic error message and a plea to “Be patient!” (if you’re lucky). It’s almost like they know they’re not telling you the full story. The companies that are on top of their outage game will have a prepared link or redirect to their Status Page (or at least, have one prominently displayed on their pages and social media) for times like these.

Heroku is a cloud provider well known for its simplicity and its support out of the box for multiple programming languages. When thinking about consuming logs from applications hosted in Heroku, Grafana Loki is a great choice. But in the past, shipping logs from Heroku to any Loki instance required ad-hoc scripts to fiddle with Heroku’s logs format and send them. This can be a time-consuming experience.
