What is IT Automation?

Sogeti, a Managed Service Provider (MSP) that provides tech and engineering resources worldwide, had a crucial IT challenge to solve. The MSP operates in more than 100 locations globally and was using six different monitoring tools to monitor its customers’ environments. It was a classic example of tool sprawl and needing to scale where multiple teams of engineers relied on too many disparate tools to manage their customers’ environments.

Java Application Manual Instrumentation for Distributed Traces

In this blog series, we are covering application instrumentation steps for distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry standards across multiple languages. Earlier, we covered Golang Application Instrumentation for Distributed Traces and DotNet Application Instrumentation for Distributed Traces. Here we are going to cover the instrumentation for Java.

What Will APM Look Like in the AIOps Era?

Historically, enterprise IT organizations have turned to application performance management (APM) systems to monitor and manage critical applications. However, throughout the world, enterprise organizations are suffering massive and systemic failures at an increasing rate. One of the main reasons these failures are increasing is that organizations aggressively seek to execute digital transformation initiatives.

Python Logging Levels Explained

The complexity of applications is continually increasing the need for good logs. This need is not just for debugging purposes but also for gathering insight about the performance and possible issues with an application. The Python standard library is an extensive range of facilities and modules that provide most of the basic logging features. Python programmers are given access to system functionalities they would not otherwise be able to employ.

Observability for Health and Life Sciences: Top 6 Challenges and How Monitoring Can Help

The healthcare industry has been put under immense strain trying to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. Not only has the whole industry had to adapt to remote working and remote medicine, but resources and capacity have also been maxed out while dealing with the burden of standard healthcare issues alongside the massive influx of patients. Human endeavor flourishes in the face of adversity, and the pandemic has driven exciting new developments in the way that vaccines are created and brought to market.

What is Observability?

Rudolf Emil Kalman, born in Hungary, 1930, is regarded as the creator of various fundamental systems concepts. His work on the structural aspects of engineering systems included control theory: the use of mathematics to adjust the output of a given data stream, which included the concept of observability. Observability is the measurement of the internal state of a system purely by examining the outputs.
