Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform for building, deploying, and managing global-scale applications. With a wide range of offerings, including dozens of different services, Azure provides tools for users to create large and sophisticated systems for hosting any type of workload. But with the huge number of configuration options and resource types, understanding the health and performance of your applications in Azure can be challenging.
Giraffe is the open source React-based visualization library that’s used to implement InfluxDB’s v2 UI. It employs clever algorithms to handle the challenge of visualizing the incredibly high volume of data that InfluxDB can ingest and query. We’ve just published documentation describing how developers can take advantage of this library and I’ve tried to create a companion tutorial to further illustrate the power of this library.
If you have a website, you almost certainly want it to function at its best.

This article was originally published on DevOps.com. We’ve long-since established that multi-generational, multi-cloud environments are the new norm. But how does one go about managing data in those environments? In this post, we’ll take a look at the ramifications of this hybrid cloud reality and best practices for managing your data for increased scalability and heightened availability.
With enterprise solutions and consumer technology platforms offering an array of applications, a need arises to securely navigate between different applications within the same product suite, and on role-based access. Single sign-on (SSO) is a solution to implement a centralized authentication system, and maintains an authenticated session to access multiple applications in a product suite without having the need of entering user credentials every time.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems provide core directory services, application access management, and authentication and authorization services. IAM also helps developers with a base platform to provide access control to their applications based on centralized policies and rules. IAM manages user details, authentication, and access information for an organization. The responsibility of user management and authentication creates a great dependency on IAM.
From dealing with security concerns to production monitoring, businesses need to analyze the log data of their systems to ensure everything is functioning normally. In a computing context, a log refers to automatically produced and time-stamped documentation of events related to a particular system. Analysis of log data helps businesses comply with regulations, security policies and audits, understand online consumer behavior, and comprehend system troubleshoots.
This post is the first in a three-part series on how to effectively monitor the hosts and systems in your ecosystem, and we're starting with the one you use most: your personal computer. Metrics are a key part of observability, providing insight into the usage of your systems, allowing you to optimize for efficiency and plan for growth. Let's take a look at the different metrics you should be monitoring.
