Seamlessly correlate DBM and APM telemetry to understand end-to-end query performance

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.

LLMs Demand Observability-Driven Development

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.

Using data collectors to compare a new feature

Leverage AppDynamics analytics to determine how a new feature introduced within an application proves to be an improvement or degradation. By creating and leveraging data collectors to look for a specific flag in a release, a new parameter or attribute, that indicates whether a feature is enabled, one can quickly gain insights as to whether there has been a performance improvement.

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.

What is Graphite Monitoring?

Today we are going to touch up on the topic of why Graphite monitoring is essential. In today’s current climate of extreme competition, service reliability is crucial to the success of a business. Any downtime or degraded user experience is simply not an option as dissatisfied customers will jump ship in an instant. Operations teams must be able to monitor their systems organically, paying particular attention to Service Level Indicators (SLIs) pertaining to the availability of the system.

Graphite vs Prometheus

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.
