2019 in Review: LogicMonitor Product Advancements

As 2019 comes to a close we would like to take a moment to pause and reflect on the various achievements LogicMonitor accomplished over the last year. All 16 product releases in 2019 are aligned to LogicMonitor's mission to become the most comprehensive, extensible, and intelligent monitoring platform in the industry. To guide our mission we have organized our product features into three distinct pillars - monitor, analyze, automate.

Extending LogicMonitor with LogicMonitor: An IT Glue Integration

We talk a lot about LogicMonitor's flexibility and extensibility, one reason is that our architecture makes it easy to write integrations to other tools' APIs, while our API lets other tools talk to our platform. This also means you can make LogicMonitor talk to itself.

Root Cause Analysis and the Road to Automated Remediation

No one wants to get paged in the middle of the night for an issue or failure within their infrastructure. When this does happen, IT operations engineers need to be able to quickly and confidently identify where the fire is and how to put it out to minimize negative impact. The root cause analysis (RCA) feature within LogicMonitor’s new AIOps Early Warning System makes this easier than ever.

Why the Modern Enterprise needs an Early Warning System

Today’s enterprises are embracing digital transformation and modernizing their infrastructure to deliver products faster and stay ahead of the competition. Here at LogicMonitor, we usually see the result of this modernization as a distributed and hybrid IT infrastructure that allows enterprises to optimize factors like cost and security while still realizing the benefits of being able to scale and deploy faster.

What is AIOps and How is it Changing IT Operations?

IT Ops teams are under nonstop pressure to work faster and deliver better results—at less cost. This isn’t easy, as IT organizations must support infrastructure in multiple clouds, on-premises, the connections in between, and SaaS applications to enable business advantages and keep up with stakeholder expectations.

LogicMonitor and PagerDuty: Beyond the Basics

Out-of-the-box integrations are great, and they help organizations see an immediate return on investment when the technologies they have invested in work together seamlessly. However, a little customization to these integrations can dramatically increase productivity and reduce mean time to resolution. Here we will address a couple of best practices and customizations that can take your PagerDuty and LogicMonitor integration to the next level.

Monitoring Azure MariaDB Instances with LogicMonitor

Released in 2009, MariaDB is a popular open-source fork of the MySQL relational database management system. MariaDB is intended as a drop-in replacement for MySQL, so data and table definitions, protocols, structures, and connectors require little to no modification in order to migrate. MariaDB also contains several enhancements, including faster indexes and cache, increased connection thread pools, and support for more storage engines.

Monitoring AWS FSx with LogicMonitor

Amazon FSx is a fast, highly available cloud file system service. Compared to traditional file systems, AWS FSx offers improved performance along with simplified management and security. The use of this service removes the headaches of provisioning hardware and maintaining backups, and combines the familiarity of your preferred filesystems with the reliability of AWS.
