Server performance metrics help you figure out what’s going wrong, where your bottlenecks are, and how your system handles load. They give you the data to plan capacity, fix issues before they escalate, and build more reliable infrastructure. In this guide, we’ll go over the core metrics that matter, how to monitor them effectively, and the tools that can help along the way.

We’ve been thinking a lot about synthesis lately. Netdata already samples every metric every second at the edge. Engineers told us the remaining pain point was synthesis, the ability to pull hours or days or months of high‑resolution time‑series into a concise explanation they could hand to a teammate (or use themselves to debug faster).

Government IT operations across public sector face unprecedented challenges this year. As digital demands intensify and legacy systems strain under pressure, agencies must accelerate IT innovation while delivering measurable ROI.

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly evolves from a research novelty to an enterprise essential, one often-overlooked component is under intense pressure: the network. AI’s hunger for data and real-time performance is forcing enterprises, cloud providers, and data center operators to rethink how they interconnect data centers. Enter Managed Optical Fiber Networks (MOFN) — a modern solution for modern DCI challenges.

IT operations have reached a breaking point. Hybrid cloud and modern software architectures have led to unprecedented increases in the scale, complexity, and fragmentation of IT infrastructures. In their attempts to manage this complexity, enterprises invest billions into observability tools, IT Service Management (ITSM) platforms, and outsourced Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

After 12 years of faithful service, the TrackJS interface was starting to show its age. Not that it wasn’t working—it was still doing exactly what our customers needed it to do. But when you’re staring at Bootstrap styles from 2012 and a version of LESS that might be officially defunct, it’s probably time for a refresh.

To gain adequate visibility into your distributed applications, you need to observe those applications at different levels of granularity. This means that you need to be able to query collected telemetry data both at the level of the whole application and at the level of selected components. Thanks to the power of Datadog tagging, you can already do this by aggregating your metrics within any scope of your choosing.
