The majority of monitoring and management solutions used in enterprises provide their customers with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and a CLI to facilitate DevOps type workflows. With IaC (Infrastructure as Code) becoming de facto and ubiquitous, decent APIs have long been a must have on product evaluation checklists; there are of course a few exceptions – namely products aimed only at SMB (Small and Medium Business), immature startups, or freeware.

Elastic Security’s developer support team has recently seen a surge in reports from customers about sluggish performance in our UI. Our initial inspection of logs for troubleshooting provided some insights, but not enough for a true fix. Luckily, we have Elastic Observability and its APM capabilities to dive in deeper and look under the hood at what was really happening within Elastic Security. And, more importantly, how we could improve its performance for customers.

ICYMI, Cribl Edge is a next generation observability data collector that greatly simplifies gathering your metrics, events, and logs. Edge incorporates all of the capabilities of Cribl Stream’s workers, allowing you to route, redact, filter, and enrich data directly from the source. Why is this important?

UBER’s Microservice Architecture 💡 Microservice Architecture is a framework that consists of small, individually deployable services performing different operations. Amazon, Netflix, Twitter, Uber, and many other high-growth companies are now shifting from a monolithic architecture into multiple codebases to form a microservice architecture.

Modern digital organizations have rapidly adopted microservices-based architecture for their applications. Microservices-based apps have components designed around business capabilities serving a specific purpose. It enables smaller engineering teams to own specific services that lead to increased productivity. But componentization also leads to complexity. Today’s modern internet-scale businesses have hundreds or thousands of microservices.

Apdex scores focus and align the varying perceptions of different teams. If you ask people in your organization to define what “performance” means for the application you’ve developed and deployed, you’re likely to get different answers. An SRE engineer might argue that a performant application has the highest possible uptime. A designer might say a critical dimension of performance is how easily users can get tasks done thanks to a carefully-crafted UI.

There are standalone distributed tracing tools like Jaeger, and there are APM tools that do not provide distributed tracing capabilities. In this article, we will see how distributed tracing complements an APM tool for a holistic performance monitoring experience. Both APM and distributed tracing are critical tools to understand the performance of your applications. And if your application is facing performance issues impacting customer experience, you need to understand what’s causing it fast.

This is another customer blog highlighting common customer scenarios that we typically see while working with large enterprise customers. There are many use cases in regard to a typical Citrix Digital Workspace environment where the endpoint is managed by a different team, outsourced to an external organization, or even unmanaged when employees work from home on a non-corporate device.

GraphQL is a query language for APIs developed by Facebook in 2012. It was then open-sourced in 2015. GraphQL enables frontend developers or consumers of APIs to request the exact data that they need, with no over-fetching or under-fetching. In this article, we will learn how to monitor GraphQL APIs with the open-source APM tool, SigNoz. GraphQL has become a popular alternative to REST because of its ease of use. It enables developers to pull data from multiple data sources in a single API call.

Manufacturers accelerating Industry 4.0 are facing challenges associated with complex cloud-based systems and highly interconnected things. Full-stack observability provides the insights needed to ease transitions and deliver organizational agility required for growth.

Technology is taking over the world at a great pace. Everyone is getting in the loop of technology, whether it be a company, organization, startup, or even a 2-year-old kid. Most companies are using the latest technologies for updated features. They took their business online in order to remain in the current market. They make some applications for their base products and run their business through that website or application. But having an application is challenging.

Small thoughtful, beautifully packed gifts are the best – just like our UI features Sometimes it is the small things that infuriate IT users the most – those tiny annoyances in a GUI that make you use some annoying and clunky workaround several times a day. Our eG Enterprise product management team understands this, and as our customers know, we are always willing to consider even small feature changes to improve usability.

Establishing your business’s online presence has become a fundamental need rather than a secondary step. In the wake of the 2019 pandemic, a large chunk of interaction, social and business, has escalated online. The user’s journey is as important as functionality to stand out in the crowded digital marketplace.

Microservices architecture allows technology companies to build application services around business capabilities. It enables rapid development and also boosts developer productivity. But it also introduces complexity. Troubleshooting and operating an internet-scale application based on microservices is hard. And that’s where distributed tracing comes into the picture. Traditional monolithic application architecture is easy to develop, deploy and monitor.

Organizations in all verticals and sizes are deploying digital workspaces to offer secure, remote access to employees and partners – in many cases, across a wide area of networks. Citrix workspace technologies are the most popular form of digital workspaces. In this blog, we discuss what is Citrix monitoring, why it is important, and what tools you need to monitor Citrix infrastructures effectively to ensure optimal digital employee experience (DEX).

Discover what 1,200 global IT leaders have to say about the future of full-stack observability — and learn how early adopters are already reaping the benefits that enhanced visibility across the entire IT environment can bring.

Source: APM in the new normal, survey by eG Innovations and DevOps Institute Cloud adoption is increasing at a rapid pace. The eG Innovations & DevOps Institute APM survey indicates that 88% of organizations are using at least one form of cloud technology. Organizations move to the cloud for agility – they can deploy and have applications running in the cloud in minutes. Cloud computing also offers options for high availability, automated backups, and such.

In this blog post, I follow on from my previous blog on AWS CloudWatch Part 1 of 2 to explore how you can go beyond basic agentless CloudWatch monitoring by deploying the CloudWatch agent and some of the key information and planning you need to do this. I’ll also cover how eG Enterprise offers out-of-the-box functionality to avoid complex JSON scripting or tooling to implement monitoring.

Your business can live or die based on the performance of the applications through which your customers access it. For a large company, downtime can mean thousands of dollars in lost revenue. Problems arising that make your application unusable could push away new customers who must instead move towards solutions who have stayed on top of their problems. In this digital world, most businesses highly depend on software to monitor and support various elements.

Customers expect seamless digital experiences. But growing complexity and lack of unified full-stack observability create challenges for the whole organization.

Supply chain management is a complex dance impacted by forces beyond your control. Full-stack observability can help make the process a lot less stressful.

Like all of us today, I’m buying more and more products and services online. But even the slightest hiccup in my digital experience might cause me to switch vendors. Multiply that risk by millions – the result of digital commerce growing at an exponential rate – and it’s easy to see how bad user experiences could literally sink a company.

These days, a new venture’s success begins and ends on customer experience. Due to a large number of similar digital products out there, end users will stop using a product immediately if the user experience is not seamless. Similarly, a mobile application delivering a substandard user experience (UX) will fall behind the competition. A good digital product can turn into a failure if it does not work for the end user.

There’s a lot to consider when engineering and implementing software, whether as an update patch or a newly-introduced product. End users have certain expectations when introduced to new or updated software—at the top of the list are aesthetics, ease of use, stability, and response time—the last two of which can be significantly improved when you employ application performance management or APM.

Since the introduction of Alerting to Raygun in late 2021, development teams have had more visibility into emerging issues than ever before. While the initial solution enabled you to get alert notifications by email, we knew that the next step was to give you more control over where you receive alerts.

One who moves the hill sets off by taking away the rocks. This is our 10th monthly update, and looking back at it, I can’t help feeling proud of our consistent efforts. Numerous releases, GitHub issues, sprints, and standups have brought us here. And it’s incredible to see what small teams with purpose can build with a consistent effort. Without further ado, let’s see what our 10th edition has to offer.

Metrics and runtime characteristics for application server monitoring are critical for the applications running on each server. Monitoring also helps to prevent or manage possible problems promptly. Apache Tomcat is one of the most widely used servers for Java applications. JMX beans or a monitoring tool like MoSKito or JavaMelody can be used in Tomcat performance monitoring.

On one of the EUC slack forums, a question was recently posted asking what are the key lessons learned in the last year and what changes organizations should investigate in the next year. The answers were revealing. Several folks pointed out that prior to the pandemic, we were operating within the comfort zone of carefully planned deployments with managed devices and managed networks.

A monolithic architecture is one of the oldest architectures used for making software and applications for various companies. In layman's terms, Monolith means everything in a single box. Monolithic software is supposed to be self-contained, and its components are interrelated and interdependent. When it comes to monoliths, updating a single component or rolling out a new feature is difficult. Suppose any program component needs an update.
