Managing a device network comes with a host of unique challenges covering everything from security to speed. Some of these challenges can be made easier through the use of ping monitoring service or software. Ping monitoring is the act of pinging a device (assessing the time taken for ICMP protocol packets to be delivered to the target host and returned) regularly. If there's no response - or a later response than expected - you get an alert. This time is usually very fast, measured in milliseconds.

Logging Java Apps with ELK and Logz.io

Java is a well-established object-oriented programming language that epitomizes cross-platform software development and helped to popularize the “write once, run anywhere” (WORA) concept. Java runs on billions of devices worldwide and powers a huge range of important software, such as the popular Android operating system and Elasticsearch. In this tutorial, we will go over how to manage Java logs with the ELK Stack and Logz.io.

Popular community plugins that can improve your Grafana dashboards

High-resolution user-defined metrics in Cloud Monitoring

Higher resolution metrics are critical for monitoring dynamically changing environments and rapidly changing application metrics. Examples where high resolution metrics are critical include high volume e-commerce, live streaming, autoscaling bursty workloads on Kubernetes clusters, and more. Higher resolution custom, Prometheus, and agent metrics are now generally available, and can be written at a granularity of 10 seconds. Previously these metric types could only be written once every 60 seconds.
