Kubernetes is a top container orchestration platform. The Kubernetes clusters manage everything much from collecting to storing vast magnitudes of data from your multiple applications. It is this very property that can sometimes boom into an unending data pile later on. Imagine a large warehouse of apparel, it has every size of clothing for men, women, and children. Now if you are asked to pick out one particular type from it within a small time frame, I know you will totally dread it.

Welcome to the last SigNal of 2023! 12 months of building and shipping things to make open-source observability available to teams of all sizes. What a great journey it has been for Team SigNoz in the year 2023. We crossed some great milestones - raised $6.5MN to supercharge our growth, more than 15,000 Github stars, and 8.6 million Docker downloads. And the best part of our journey has been building with our community.

Monitoring and observing application performance is a cornerstone for maintaining robust and efficient systems in the ever-evolving development landscape. One key player in this domain is OpenTelemetry. This post provides a comprehensive tutorial and unpacks what OpenTelemetry is, its applications and integration into the JavaScript ecosystem.

Using OpenTelemetry Collector, you can collect metrics from Azure monitor and export them to any backend of your choice. Azure Monitor is a powerful service within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem that provides extensive metrics and logging capabilities. Yet the siloed nature of data in such tools can obscure the bigger picture, hindering a holistic view of system health. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this Prerequisites section.

Events in Kubernetes are objects that provide insights into the state changes within the Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes events monitoring is critical to provide real-time insights into the operational state of a Kubernetes cluster. It enables administrators to quickly identify and respond to issues, optimize resource allocation, and ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of their containerized applications.

OpenTelemetry can be used to monitor ECS clusters. In this tutorial, you will install OpenTelemetry Collector to collect ECS metrics and then send the collected data to SigNoz for monitoring and visualization. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this Pre-requisites section.

Just in time for your holiday viewing! Learn how to solve real-time time series processing challenges with Quix—the stream processing framework using Kafka and Python—and purpose-built time series database InfluxDB.

As the holiday season rolls in, it’s not just about festive cheer and resolutions; it’s also time for industry leaders to cast their predictions for the new year. This year, Catchpoint’s thought leaders have stepped up with their hottest takes for 2024. Catchpoint experts are envisioning a transformative shift in the monitoring technologies, a heightened focus on performance as a key metric, and an integrated strategy for managing digital performance management.

Are you looking for Kubernetes monitoring tools? Then you have come to the right place. Kubernetes has grown to become the container orchestration platform of choice. It simplifies managing your containerized workloads. You get the power of automating deployments, scaling resources, and keeping your applications running smoothly. But with great power comes added responsibility. And like any complex system, Kubernetes needs monitoring.

This is the second post in a 3-part series about shifting Observability left. If you have not had a chance to read the first, you can find it here. In today’s complex microservices deployments, gaining visibility into deployments is vital for optimal system performance and scalability. This has become even more important as the tech industry has moved toward microservice architecture reliance. Navigating through logs has become increasingly complex as requirements have grown.
