You will also find out what benefits you can get using a Hosted Graphite solution from MetricFire. Check out MetricFire’s free trial to test all the features it provides.

One of the greatest challenges for an IT team is visibility. How can you prove the value of your IT team’s accomplishments when no one can see what – or how well – you’re doing? Progress WhatsUp Gold release 2023.0, available as of June 21, 2023, is set to change that. This release includes several exciting updates meant to provide better data access to all.

To track IP traffic flows and record metadata, IT professionals use network flow monitoring protocols and supporting solutions to collect and analyze data.

Twingate is a network access platform that enables customers to deploy a zero trust authentication layer with their infrastructure as code (IAC) provider of choice. Using this model, you can program strict access control rules that can be updated and co-deployed alongside changes to your infrastructure. Each time a user establishes or closes a connection to a resource, Twingate documents the event with details such as the port, the volume of data transferred, and user identification.

Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft to help businesses tackle challenges and build solutions through a comprehensive suite of cloud services.

One of the most effective ways to monitor a critical user flow on a website—or monitor the operation of a critical API that other applications depended on—is to adopt synthetic monitoring. Synthetic monitoring is an approach to monitoring websites and applications that simulates the actions of real users via browser automation. It mirrors the actions that a visitor may take on your website, say browsing an online shop, adding items to a shopping cart, and then checking out.

Before attending Icinga Berlin in May this year, Daniel Bodky and Markus Opolka from our partner NETWAYS developed the very first Icinga Kubernetes Helm Charts and released it in an alpha version. If you have ever wanted to deploy an entire Icinga stack in your Kubernetes cluster, now is your chance. I also want to highlight Daniel’s talk again on how Icinga can run on Kubernetes and the challenges involved.
