OpenTelemetry MongoDB | Monitor and visualize your MongoDB database calls

OpenTelemetry libraries can be used to monitor MongoDB interactions. In this tutorial, we will learn how we can monitor MongoDB with OpenTelemetry libraries to analyze query execution and identify performance bottlenecks. Most modern applications have distributed architecture thanks to cloud and containerization. In cloud-native applications, it is necessary to track user requests across services and components like databases.

Anomaly Detection for Time Series Data: An Introduction

Welcome to the handbook on Anomaly Detection for Time Series Data! This series of blog posts aims to provide an in-depth look into the fundamentals of anomaly detection and root cause analysis. It will also address the challenges posed by the time-series characteristics of the data and demystify technical jargon by breaking it down into easily understandable language. This blog post (Chapter 1) is focused on.

How to test a MongoDB NoSQL database

Most development teams know that testing the application layer of a system (a.k.a the codebase) is of vital importance. Testing the data layer (the database) is just as important. To perform database testing, you construct queries to assert and validate the database operations, structures, and attributes required by the application connecting to the database.

The Future of Database Monitoring - AIOps

IT pros need tools designed to ingest large volumes of data, correlate events across data sources, detect problems, and resolve them with new technologies to support more efficient IT systems. This is the function of AIOps. AIOps or Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations, is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to enhance and automate various aspects of IT.

VictoriaMetrics Long-Term Support (LTS): Current State

We release VictoriaMetrics several times a month, including at least one major update. However, because these new releases often introduce new features, they may be less stable. That’s why we also regularly publish Long-term support releases (LTS) alongside our regular releases. These LTS versions focus exclusively on bug fixes without new features and performance improvements. We committed to publishing LTS versions every six months and supporting them for one year.

SQL Sentry Then and Now Part 2

In my first post, I talked about how SQL Sentry has taken shape over the years. Now we announced SQL Sentry 2023.3, and a lot is changing. In the past, customers could only work with SQL Sentry through an installed, Windows-based client. It’s a feature-rich interface with access to everything you need with no limit to how many users install it. But we heard our customers; they wanted a web-based interface with a simplified user experience.

Visualizing MongoDB with Grafana Cloud

Learn to connect your MongoDB data and other data sources to a single dashboard to provide impactful insights into your business and improve visibility across teams. Vijay Tolani will demonstrate how to translate and transform your existing application and business metrics into flexible and versatile charts within dashboards using a wide array of visualizations, such as panels, bar gauges, geomaps, and more. Also query and alert on MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas data in real time without having to migrate or ingest it.

Five database DevOps practices for boosting team productivity

Developing and deploying database changes can be a complex task, made more challenging by the fact that development teams need to move fast, while also protecting an organization’s crown jewels: its data. Speed of delivery and protecting data can often feel incompatible, but there are industry-proven database DevOps practices that bring them together in harmony.

Monitoring Kubernetes costs with OpenCost and VictoriaMetrics

Control over operational costs is pivotal in Kubernetes' deployment and management. Although Kubernetes brings power and control over your deployments, it also necessitates thorough understanding and management of costs. OpenCost, specifically designed for Kubernetes cost monitoring, combined with VictoriaMetrics, an efficient time series database, offers a comprehensive solution for this challenge.
