Do your cron jobs (aka scheduled jobs) ever fail or not run as expected? Scheduled jobs are supposed to be predictable – as the name implies. But as with many things, predictable!= reliable. Cron jobs fail too and we think you should know when that happens, Crons allows you to monitor the uptime and performance of any scheduled, recurring job in Sentry. Once set up, you’ll get alerts and metrics to help you solve errors, detect timeouts, and prevent disruptions to your service.

Grafana Agent v0.30 is here! The past couple of Grafana Agent releases have been pretty exciting for us. We introduced Agent Flow as a new way to configure, run, and debug telemetry pipelines.

This latest release continues that momentum by introducing Loki components for building logging pipelines and marking Flow mode as beta!

We’re on a mission to give you greater control over how you can extract, manipulate, and visualize the powerful insights surfaced in Raygun, so that you can use them in exciting new ways.

Finding service relationships and diagnosing bottlenecks within an application can be incredibly difficult to accomplish, especially if your applications are spread across multiple services, with both internal and external service calls. Although users could get granular visibility into individual traces using our Distributed Tracing features, they couldn’t see how their services were connected across different traces.
