Monitoring JWT Tokens & OAuth Token Endpoints: How to Catch Authentication Failures Before APIs Break

Dec 28, 2025 By Dotcom-Monitor In Dotcom-Monitor
Modern APIs rarely fail because the application logic is down. More often, they fail because authentication breaks upstream, silently. OAuth token endpoints and JWT-based authentication sit at the front of nearly every protected API. When they degrade, misconfigure, or stop issuing valid tokens, every dependent API call fails, even if the API itself is healthy.

Introducing Dossinth AI (formerly Silicon Sage)

Dec 27, 2025 By Lucian Daniliuc In Monitive
The AI saga continues. I feel like every business felt like they had to add some AI into their product to stay relevant, but reality shows us that's not the case. Same thing at Monitive. Not looking to add AI to our service until it proves its usefulness. However, using it as an internal tool is all doable. I am still not 100% convinced of its usefulness, but I am hoping to radically improve my relationship with our customers, and - thus - the service itself.

Monitoring OAuth 2.0 & Secure Web API Authentication Flows

Dec 27, 2025 By Dotcom-Monitor In Dotcom-Monitor
OAuth 2.0 is often treated as a solved security problem; configured once, then forgotten. In reality, OAuth-based authentication is one of the most fragile dependencies in modern API ecosystems. When OAuth breaks, APIs don’t just degrade gracefully; they often fail completely. For DevOps and engineering teams, OAuth 2.0 authentication sits before application logic, before business rules, and before observability inside the service itself.

API Testing vs Web API Monitoring: Postman, Online Tools, and WebView

Dec 27, 2025 By Dotcom-Monitor In Dotcom-Monitor
APIs sit at the core of modern applications. They power mobile apps, connect microservices, and enable third-party integrations, making them critical to performance, reliability, and revenue. That’s why most teams invest heavily in API testing tools like Postman, automated test suites, and online API testers. And yet, production outages still happen. This disconnect (“our APIs were tested, so why did they fail?”) is where confusion between API testing and Web API monitoring begins.

Google Cloud Compute Engine Pricing Guide

Dec 26, 2025 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
Virtual machines often represent the largest line item in a cloud bill. And for Google Cloud users, the Google Compute Engine (GCE) accounts for a large share of overall spend. GCE offers rich flexibility: you can choose specific machine types, scale up or down instantly, and match compute to load. But understanding how the pricing works is critical before you can unlock full value. On the surface, GCE looks simple. You pay for vCPU, memory, storage, and network.
