Continuous Improvement in Native

If Sentry were a TV show, I think it would be Lassie. It’s your application’s best friend and everyone can understand it no matter what language they speak. Sentry gets help from the right people to make sure Timmy, I mean your application, is safe and sound. Over the past few months, we improved our Native SDK significantly. Most notably, we increased platform compatibility through a major rewrite from C++ to C and by switching to the CMake build system.

The concise guide to labels in Loki

A few months ago, I wrote an in-depth article describing how labels work in Loki. Here, I’m consolidating that information into a more digestible “cheat sheet.” There are some big differences in how Loki works compared to other logging systems which require a different way of thinking. This is my attempt to convey those differences as well as map out our thought process behind them. As a Loki user or operator, your goal should be to use the fewest labels possible to store your logs.

Monitoring Your Data with the Mosaic Graph Type

InfluxDB provides several graph type visualizations to allow users to easily monitor their data. However, most of those graph types are only helpful if your data can be represented numerically. What if you want to track the health of your application, or visualize the status of your pods deployed in Kubernetes, over time? In both these cases, status is tracked over time using one of several discrete values, and can’t be plotted on an x/y chart.

Pandora FMS SNMP trap monitoring

As network technology evolves, the SNMP world evolves with it. They create new network hardware that contains more and more OIDs to be able to stay updated on the status of more details of the product. This entails the need to automate the way to control every detail, doing it through the use of SNMP trap monitoring. An SNMP trap is a message sent by an SNMP device to a configurable IP address when there’s a change or an event on the device.

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.
