The Healthchecks.io system status page at status.healthchecks.io recently received a revamp. Here are my notes on the new version. First up, the components section shows the current and historic status of components: Dashboard shows the status of the main website, healthchecks.io. “Operational” state here means the website responds to HTTP requests, and has a working connection to the PostgreSQL database.
PHP is a server-side scripting language for creating your website’s backend system that can serve webpages, communicate with databases, and exchange data over the internet. A decent backend framework like PHP needs to be capable of providing and processing data in any format (e.g., XML, JSON, etc.) to be socially accepted in a society of skilled web development frameworks.

Splunk is a tech company, which regularly gives us exposure to modern development practices, and the ability to implement them with our own technology. We want to share that with you. In this post, as part of a dogfooding series, I sat down with Ram Jothikumar, Head of Cloud Infrastructure & Operations for Observability at Splunk. Ram and I talk about how we support our SignalFx offering at scale, efficiently with resilience and reliability baked in.
On the internet, nothing necessarily stays easy, simple, and reliable forever – but we’re trying to keep it that way for your logs. When our customers use Kubernetes, they want to remain focused on the real challenges of scaling, and avoid infrastructure headaches, so that they can adapt to the unexpected easily and with a minimum of toil. That’s why we continue to invest in the LogDNA Agent. It’s built to handle file logging in even the most intensive Kubernetes deployments.
Managed service providers (MSPs) have been around for more than 20 years, and my how things have changed since they grew out of the original application service provider (ASP) model. Until recently, MSPs have focused primarily on remote monitoring, security, network management and other routine IT tasks that CIOs would rather outsource for cheaper than they can run internally.
As engineering teams shift from delivering services on monolithic architectures to microservices and even serverless environments, developers are no longer just responsible for creating and maintaining their code. Shared ownership has become the new normal (or at least trending towards) and so they are now responding to production incidents and in some cases in the on-call rotation. Of course incidents vary in terms of impact, but they do take time away from innovation and creating new capabilities.
Microsoft Power BI is a business analytics solution providing interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities from data and provides an interface that is simple enough for admins to create their own reports and dashboards. Data inputs to Power BI can come from multiple sources – Excel worksheets, CSV files, database tables, log files, the web, etc. It then employs smart visualizations and built-in AI technologies on that data to turn it into interactive insights.
Instant check You can run it any time from HostTracker main page for free - and it really helps to see how your website performs from different countries and find its weak spots, if there are any. Let us check what we see there, if we test google.com: Top line shows us basics about the loaded page: how many http requests have been made to complete it, if all of them were successful, its size and load time.
