It’s been literally years now that I have been first tangentially, and then intimately involved with the project that has become InfluxDB 3.0. I started using it so early that one of the DataFusion upstream developers literally calls me “User0” … a moniker of which I am not-so-secretly proud.

Open source project InfluxDB IOx becomes InfluxDB 3.0, the next-generation time series database powering all InfluxDB products. InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated added to suite of enterprise-grade cloud services.

Setting up custom metrics is an easy way to gain instant insights into the information you need (without scorching through log lines or struggling with complicated reporting tools). Supplement your application's critical monitoring data by tracking meaningful metrics to quickly identify and resolve potential issues. In this blog post, we'll show you how to set up and use custom metrics to remove your monitoring blind spots.

With cloud solutions becoming mainstream and hybrid workforces becoming the norm rather than the exception, organizations need to stay nimble and agile for network access that can occur anytime, from anywhere. A thriving organization has a flourishing network that extends its arms globally, yet delivers high speed and performance without any compromise. Hence, organizations rely heavily on their networks for uninterrupted operations.

Welcome to the second part of this series of blog posts on How to throw custom exceptions inside Logic Apps. In this series of five blogs, I will cover throwing custom exceptions in Logic Apps. I will cover the following topics: In this second approach, we are going to do a small fine-tuning of the previous approach by adding the capability to define custom error messages for each condition and, of course, get that information inside the Catch Scope.

JMX metrics give solid insights into the workings of your application. Integrating them with Levitate (our time series data warehosue) required us to jump some hoops with vmagent.

In our eagerness to bring you all the definitions of the world of technology we hired a sherpa, with calves made of steel, who travels the confines of the Himalayas collecting the most exclusive and inaccessible information from temple to temple. Because everyone knows it, the greatest secrets of technology are kept by the monks of monasteries like those of Rizong, Jammu or Kashmir, not the Internet.

Avoiding vendor lock-in is a ‘must’ when it comes to working with new services. Those in ITOps, DevOps, or as an SRE also don’t want to be tied to specific vendors when it comes to their telemetry data. And that’s why OpenTelemetry’s popularity has surged lately. OpenTelemetry prevents you from being locked into specific vendors for the agents that collect your data.
