At Progress, we understand the challenges faced by IT teams in maintaining operational networks. Everything we do is to best serve those tasked with maintaining more seamless operations for an entire environment including network systems, servers, applications and services. We want to confirm that the greenest, first-day sysadmin can sit down in front of a product like Progress WhatsUp Gold and figure out how to use it in minutes.

HTTP responses are an important part of web communication, letting servers respond to client requests with the requested data, status information, and other key details. This article will explain the structure and parts of an HTTP response, including the status line, headers, and body. We'll look at the different groups of HTTP status codes and their meanings, with real examples to show how they are used.

InfluxDB recently launched the InfluxDB Management API for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated. Now, developers can manage databases, database tokens, and create database tables with custom partitioning directly from their application. The Management API provides a programmatic interface for performing tasks that previously required human interaction. This interface promotes easier workflows for applications that need automatic provisioning of multiple instances of InfluxDB, either for internal or external purposes.

Today's environments often present the challenge of collecting data from various sources, such as multi-cloud, hybrid on-premises/cloud, or both. Each cloud provider has its own tools that send data to their respective telemetry platforms. OpenTelemetry can monitor cloud VMs, on-premises VMs, and bare metal systems and send all data to a unified monitoring platform. This applies across multiple operating systems and vendors.

This article summarizes the first full report on our new IT Ops Problem Solver Series. In this series, we’ll tackle the biggest problems facing IT Ops leaders and explore how some of Galileo’s clients are addressing them.

OpManager MSP has a new standout integration with NetFlow Analyzer. What does this integration mean for MSPs with bandwidth monitoring management? Network monitoring solutions are indispensable for MSPs as they enable proactive issue detection, enhance security, improve reliability and uptime, ensure scalability, and optimize cost efficiency for both MSPs and their clients.

We’re excited to announce Coroot v1.0 – our first stable version. It includes some great improvements, such as a new Distributed Tracing interface that takes troubleshooting to the next level. In this post, we’ll compare existing open-source distributed tracing tools, identify unsolved problems in the troubleshooting process, and see how Coroot can address them with its brand-new distributed tracing feature. These days, software is getting more complicated.

The most effective method for evaluating an observability tool is to introduce a failure intentionally into a fairly complex system, and then observe how quickly the tool detects the root cause. We’ve built Coroot based on the belief that having high-quality telemetry data enables us to automatically pinpoint the root causes for over 80% of outages with precision. But you don’t have to take our word for it—put it to the test yourself!

One service can’t connect to another (or can’t establish a database connection) – underneath this simple definition, there can be two very different conditions. First – we may have a service process down. In this case, the Kernel stack is operational, so we are getting the packet back, indicating the connection was refused. Second – when network flow is completely disrupted due to connectivity issues, firewall, or a node being completely down.
