The world of email security is experiencing a boost with the emergence of new technologies. Now, you can monitor and evaluate the whole trip your email makes from your outbox to the recipient’s inbox. Not particularly sure how? No worries! We are here to cover everything you need to know about email round-trip monitoring. Also, we will explain why every company (despite the industry they are operating in) should implement email round-trip monitoring.

One of the benefits of Serverless architectures is the possibility of scaling applications without worrying about load balancers and clusters of servers. While services like AWS Lambda hold their promises on this area, there are usually misconceptions about how they work. It is common for developers to assume that Lambda functions can scale infinitely, at any speed, in any circumstances. Reality is quite different from that.

Applying an observability strategy to core telecommunication data processing enables operators to answer questions that were not possible to answer before. As this approach has gained prominence, the Elastic Stack has become increasingly popular in the telecommunications space, with companies like Deutsche Telekom — their data transformation effort championed by Hans-Konrad Roth — adopting Elastic as their solution of choice for international traffic monitoring.

Web applications have evolved from static pages with minimal user interaction to a dynamic intuitive interface that delivers advanced functionality. the complex architecture of these applications makes it necessary to monitor and maintain application health, performance, and end-user experience. Catchpoint’s monitoring platform provides all the tools you need to track application performance.

Over the past decade, organizations have been moving to a hybrid cloud model. A hybrid cloud is a form of cloud computing where applications are deployed on a combination of public clouds and private infrastructure. With a hybrid cloud, organizations can choose the most optimal deployment strategy for their applications while maintaining control over certain aspects, such as running user-facing services from a public cloud while storing sensitive data on-premise.

Visualization and Analytics are two of the most important aspects of monitoring without which the entire data stack could just mean NOTHING. Considering the plethora of graphing tools available in the market today, selecting the right one could often be confusing. In our blogs at Metricfire, we break down the best tools in terms of their setup efforts, usage, market competitors, pricing models, best practices, and many more. Grafana and Chronograf both are among the best tools available today.

Coralogix offers the most extensive alerting mechanism in the logging market, including built-in webhooks for PagerDuty, custom webhooks, and automatic resolve notifications. PagerDuty is a leader in digital operations management. In an always-on world, organizations of all sizes trust PagerDuty to help them deliver a perfect digital experience to their customers, every time.

Virtual machines (VMs) are one of the on-demand, scalable computing resources that Microsoft Azure offers. They enable streamlined allocation of resources in backup, disaster recovery, and deployment environments. A VM is typically chosen when you need more control over your computing environment. However, Azure VMs come with the challenge of simultaneously monitoring them across multiple environments when the VMs are spread unevenly, with some being overutilized and others underutilized.

Organizations around the world are increasingly relying on the cloud to capitalize on its speed, ease of management and scalability, and the business value it provides to transform and grow their business. It’s an ever-growing market that is currently estimated at 266.4 billion dollars—a whopping 982.9 percent increase in growth compared to a decade ago when it was worth a little over 24.6 billion dollars.

Recently InfluxAce Jorge de la Cruz presented on “Modern vSphere Monitoring and Dashboards Using InfluxDB, Telegraf and Grafana”. Jorge is a Systems Engineer at Veeam Software and has been using InfluxDB for years. In case you missed attending the live session, we have shared the recording and the slides for everyone to review and watch at your leisure.
