Behind the trends of cloud-native architectures and microservices lies a technical complexity, a paradigm shift, and a rugged learning curve. This complexity manifests itself in the design, deployment, and security, as well as everything that concerns the monitoring and observability of applications running in distributed systems like Kubernetes. Fortunately, there are tools to help developers overcome these obstacles.

Graphite and Prometheus are both great tools for monitoring networks, servers, other infrastructure, and applications. Both Graphite and Prometheus are what we call time-series monitoring systems, meaning they both focus on monitoring metrics that record data points over time. At MetricFire we offer a hosted version of Graphite, so our users can try it out on our free trial and see which works better in their case.

Fall 2023 Reports, including Enterprise Monitoring and Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring, were announced September 12, 2023 from G2, the world’s leading business software review platform. Take a look inside the G2 Fall 2023 Network Monitoring Report highlights below to see where LogicMonitor stood out among the rest.

Splunk Cloud Platform has always been a powerful platform for aggregating, analyzing, and extracting actionable insights from your machine-generated data. As data volumes continue to grow exponentially, efficiently managing the ingestion of data into Splunk becomes crucial. To address this need, we are thrilled to announce the debut of Terraform support for the Splunk Cloud Platform.

Our industry is in the early days of an explosion in software using LLMs, as well as (separately, but relatedly) a revolution in how engineers write and run code, thanks to generative AI. Many software engineers are encountering LLMs for the very first time, while many ML engineers are being exposed directly to production systems for the very first time.

When the services in your distributed application interact with a database, you need telemetry that gives you end-to-end visibility into query performance to troubleshoot application issues. But often there are obstacles: application developers don’t have visibility into the database or its infrastructure, and database administrators (DBAs) can’t attribute the database load to specific services.

Logz.io is thrilled to have earned over 20 Fall 2023 G2 Badges for our Logz.io Open 360™ essential observability platform! G2 Research is a tech marketplace where people can discover, review, and manage the software they need to reach their potential. We’ve earned the following Fall 2023 G2 Badges for Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Log Analysis.

X-ray machines are one of the most sophisticated tools in the medical field. Capable of creating images of someone’s fractured arm, x-rays enable medical professionals to see what is going on in a patient’s most vital areas. In the IT world, server monitoring has a similar function.

Application performance monitoring (APM) tools have become a fundamental part of many organisations that wish to track and observe the optimal functioning of their web-based applications. These tools serve to greatly simplify the process through automation and allow teams to effectively collaborate to maximize efficiency, enabling you to reach the root cause of an issue before it reaches your customers.
