Increasingly more software teams - ourselves and our customers included - are adopting practices like microservices and/or Continuous Delivery. We built the All Items View to make error monitoring much easier for those using Rollbar in such ways.
Accountability is an important part of the work IT professionals do, especially when it comes to security and outages.

In this post, we will show how you can forward these application logs to Datadog and keep track of application behavior with faceted log search and analytics, custom processing pipelines, and log-based alerting.
In some performance critical situations, it makes sense to limit management software to a single CPU (core). We can do this using systemd and cgroups.
