How to Push Prometheus Metrics to Splunk Observability Cloud with the OpenTelemetry Collector
In this video, you’ll learn how to scrape Prometheus endpoints with the OpenTelemetry Collector’s Prometheus receiver and send metrics to Splunk Observability Cloud. We’ll walk through configuring three common data sources (a Python Flask app, node_exporter for host metrics, and the NGINX Prometheus exporter), show how to enrich metrics with resource attributes, and build simple charts in Splunk Observability Cloud. You’ll see how centralized scraping and consistent tagging make it easy to manage and visualize Prometheus metrics in Splunk Observability Cloud.
Monitor and optimize your systems with Uptrace
Uptrace is your single source of truth for monitoring, understanding, and optimizing complex distributed systems. Proven in production for over five years and trusted by more than a thousand installations worldwide, it lets you see your system like never before. What makes the difference is that Uptrace is pure OpenTelemetry, built natively from day one. This isn't a translation layer—it's a direct connection that eliminates friction and ensures zero vendor lock-in. Your homepage serves as your command center, providing complete visibility across your stack at a glance.
Anbox Cloud 1.27.0: what's new?
In this video, the Anbox team covers new features and changes in their latest 1.27.0 release: What is Anbox Cloud? Anbox Cloud lets you run virtualized Android environments securely, at any scale, to any device letting you focus on your use case. Run Android in system containers, not emulators, on AWS, OCI, Azure, GCP or your private cloud with ultra low streaming latency.
Distinct Value Cache in InfluxDB 3
The Distinct Value Cache in InfluxDB 3 speeds up metadata queries and tag value lookups for faster, more responsive UIs. The Distinct Value Cache in InfluxDB 3 delivers sub-30 ms lookups for tag values and series metadata, making exploratory queries and UI dropdowns quick and responsive. By reducing latency on these common operations, it allows developers to build real-time monitoring and analytics tools without extra complexity.
Physician On Call Schedule: How to Create an Effective, Fair & Reliable Call System
Providing continuous, high-quality care takes more than clinical expertise—it depends on well-designed physician on call schedules that balance patient safety, physician wellness, and operational efficiency. Whether you manage a residency program or a multi-specialty group, creating an effective physician call schedule—or a broader provider on call schedule—is critical for 24/7 coverage and clinician well-being.
What is SNMP Trap: Real-Time Alerts for Network Monitoring
Why wait for the next poll? An SNMP trap is a real-time alert sent from a device to a monitoring system, without waiting for polling. Ever had a router die silently at 3 AM while your monitoring system was still polling away every 5 minutes? Yeah… not fun. That’s where SNMP traps step in. Think of them as the push notifications of network monitoring: instant, lightweight, and sometimes misunderstood.
Workstations at Scale: Challenges, Trade-offs, and Emerging Solutions
Scaling workstation deployments is never straightforward. IT teams need to balance performance, cost, manageability, and security, but the trade-offs between approaches can be significant. In this blog, we’ll walk through the three most common deployment models, highlight their limitations, and introduce how newer solutions like Computle illustrate a different path.
GitLens: From Idea to Successful VS Code Extension
Every dev has that “there has to be a better way” moment. For Eric Amodio, that moment created GitLens. From scratching his own itch → to millions of devs using it daily.
An overview of Context Propagation in OpenTelemetry
To effectively manage modern applications, you need to understand how they work on the inside. Distributed tracing is the key to this, providing a detailed picture of a request's journey across every service. OpenTelemetry has emerged as the industry-standard framework for implementing tracing and achieving true observability in complex, distributed systems. In this article, we embark on a journey to explore the core concept of context propagation within Open Telemetry.
