When your apps and infrastructure rely on dozens of third-party providers for key functionality, it’s important to closely track their outages. If a service you rely on goes down, you need to move quickly to limit the outage’s impact on your users. IsDown provides a detailed status page aggregator and uptime monitoring for all your third-party dependencies.

If you have large(r) customers, there is a point where they ask you for service-level agreements, or short SLAs. These are customer contracts defining different aspects of your service and what you guarantee for them. One common agreement is around availability, or, colloquially speaking, uptime. Your contract might state, and I am not a lawyer, that you guarantee that your service (or core parts of it) is available 99.99% of the time of a given period, mostly per month, quarter, or year.

I have spoken with many prospects and partners over the years and one of the more frequent questions I am asked is: “How do you build Custom Monitoring”.

As per a survey by Comcast Business, around 85% of IT leaders trust AI networking tools for meeting their organization’s goals. This stat alone is enough to show how big of a role AI is playing in network monitoring. And it’s just the beginning, with rapid development in Artificial Intelligence, we might see a lot more sophisticated AI use cases for network monitoring. But how exactly does AI help in network monitoring? What its roles, benefits, challenges, and how to implement it?

In this conversation, Cribl’s Carley Rosato talks to Aflac’s Shawn Cannon about his role as a Threat Management Consultant, and how he manages their SIEM environment, brings in new data as needed, and works to improve the ingestion process. Our customers are always coming up with new and exciting ways to implement Cribl tools — importing a 34 million-row CSV file into Redis and enriching events in Splunk might be one of the most impressive we’ve seen so far.

Monitoring distributed systems means collecting data from various sources, including servers, containers, and applications. In large organizations, this data distribution makes it harder to get a single view of the performance of their entire system. OpenTelemetry helps you streamline your full-stack observability efforts by giving you a single, universal format for collecting and sending telemetry data. Thus, OpenTelemetry makes improving performance and troubleshooting issues easier for teams.
