Modern software applications involve multiple layers of code and services, working together to meet increasingly demanding user requirements. To achieve this, systems became distributed, providing improved scalability, fault tolerance, and complexity. However, this innovation brought new challenges to basic troubleshooting and performance monitoring to maintain the health of systems. It’s for these reasons that observability is trending.

Our inaugural SolarWinds Day event was a smashing success! From the announcement of our SolarWinds® Observability solution—which was built fully in the cloud—to important updates to our on-premises SolarWinds® Hybrid Cloud Observability solution, this was our biggest day of product launches since the founding of SolarWinds. It was exciting to be a part of the event and to see so many people participate and engage in the discussion.

We eat lots of our own dog food at MetricFire, monitoring our services with a dedicated cluster running the same software. This has worked out really well for us over the years: as our own customer, we quickly spot issues in our various ingestion, storage, and rendering services. It also drives the service status transparency our customers love. Our customers include large multinational coffee brewers, game companies, and other data science/SaaS companies.

This post is part 1 of a 3-part series about monitoring MongoDB performance with the WiredTiger storage engine. Part 2 explains the different ways to collect MongoDB metrics, and Part 3 details how to monitor its performance with Datadog. If you are using the MMAPv1 storage engine, visit the companion article “Monitoring MongoDB performance metrics (MMAP)”.

With serverless and containerized applications becoming a norm, workloads and integrations are spread across multiple cloud environments. As these apps become increasingly more distributed, monitoring also becomes more complicated with siloed and incomplete telemetry. This is where distributed tracing brings great value. It enables end-to-end visibility in your modern and complex application.

Business organizations that want to save money and be competitive take into consideration the time costs associated with investments in new technologies. Will the efficiency gains translate to a rapid return on investment? Will users embrace the change and be more productive? Or will those investments be a hassle to employees and result in time-wasting workarounds and a fallback to inefficient, manual processes?

The InfluxDB platform has evolved a lot over the past decade. But with every innovation we’ve added to the platform, the focus behind our efforts has remained the same: Build cool stuff for people who build cool stuff. What we mean by this is we want to make it incredibly easy for users to build valuable applications with their time series data. We do that by offering a wide range of tools, features, and resources that meet builders on their terms.
