GroundWork Monitor makes it simple to monitor the health of Oracle databases, whether the need is simple monitoring of availability or for capacity planning purposes. Oracle databases may be monitored either directly on the Oracle host or from a different host, using the GroundWork Distributed Monitoring Agent (GDMA). In both scenarios, SQL queries are used to provide the data from the database.

First off, I’m going to make an assumption: I’m going to assume you—like me—have spent a lot more time online in 2020 than you ever have before. Thanks to COVID-19, we were all at home with nowhere to go. Many people started working full-time from home, and kids were out of school for months as springtime lockdowns extended into summer holidays.

First of all: apologies...because although the title suggests otherwise, this blog is not about "Observability VS. Monitoring." It's a great misconception that observability is this hot new technology that's here to replace your monitoring tools.

We’re happy to announce that we’ve successfully completed PCI (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) Service Provider Certification. This means that at Logit.io we are committed to the security of storing, processing and transmitting credit card transactions.

Managed service providers (MSPs) face ransomware, malware, and other cyber attacks — and these issues can affect both MSPs and their clients. To understand the full impact of an MSP cyber attack, let’s examine the topic in more detail. Businesses use MSPs to manage IT infrastructure and other resources. In doing so, businesses outsource the maintenance and care of applications, networks, security, and other aspects of their IT operations to a third-party.

APIs provide insights for development teams to configure and deploy DevOps infrastructure. API performance metrics aid in the contribution of operational functionalities to the project. API performance metrics are measured in a hierarchical structure in conjunction with operational API metrics. Operational metrics are the most basic set of the metric structure for measuring API performance. The metrics include number of API calls, CPU or memory usage.

Linux system monitoring is necessary to ensure uptime, indicate system resource usage, and show which apps are consuming what percentage of resources. Monitoring Linux thereby enables users to properly manage applications and ensure the system is in good health.

Today, AWS announced enhancements for AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry. We’re working with AWS to build in additional support from partners. In tandem with that launch, Honeycomb is announcing support for event ingestion using OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). With that change, you can simplify management overhead and configuration by no longer needing to maintain a separate OpenTelemetry exporter.

Monitoring your application can be a difficult task if you’re just getting started with it. You need to know which metrics matter most and understand which ones you can combine into meaningful graphs. In the (not just holiday ⛄️) spirit of making things smoother for our users, we’ve added a magic dashboard to the Ruby integration that shows you the volume of emails you are sending with ActionMailer.

We’ve already shared our reflections on seven years with skills maps, and our realization that we needed something more. We already had much of that information, but people really struggled to take it on and consume it. We needed a better delivery mechanism than our alternative to the skills maps which we called ‘What Good Looks Like’ documents.
