As your data continues to grow and time remains critical, making data-driven decisions has never been more important (and let’s face it, that’s no small feat). Luckily, our new Scheduled Reporting feature is here to help—automatically delivering your logs, metrics, and tracing data in visually-rich custom dashboards, exactly when you need them, directly to the inboxes of your chosen recipients.

In today’s fast-paced, digitally-driven business world, cloud computing has become the foundation of scalable and flexible IT infrastructure. As organizations transition to the cloud to gain agility, scalability, and cost savings, it becomes crucial to monitor cloud environments rigorously. This ensures performance, security, and reliability. That’s why having a good cloud monitoring system, like Icinga, is critical for cloud operations.

This guide explains the key aspects of the OpenTelemetry Collector, including its features, use cases, and practical tips for managing telemetry data effectively.

Log analysis tools are essential for organizations of all sizes. This guide provides an in-depth analysis of the top 10 log analysis tools in 2024. It compares their features, pricing models, and integration capabilities to assist you in making an informed decision based on your specific requirements.

Real user monitoring (RUM) tools are great if you want to give your developers a very high level view of the health of your frontend. But when it comes to actually debugging issues in your web app, you’re often left piecing together outputs from browser devtools, with details (if you’re lucky) from customer support tickets to replicate issues locally in hopes of identifying the source of the issue. Debugging Core Web Vitals (CWVs) to improve your scores can be even worse.

Ensuring your applications are reliable and performant is more critical now than ever. This need has driven the rise of observability practices, where developers and operations teams closely monitor their applications’ health, performance, and behavior. This is where OpenTelemetry (OTel) comes into play.

With the increased adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), connected devices and sensors generate vast amounts of data, and you’ll need an effective way to capture, store, and visualize all of it. With effective data visualization and analysis, you can transform raw data into actionable insights and make informed decisions. This post will break down tools like Grafana, Node-RED, and time series databases, including their benefits to your IIoT workload.
