The inside scoop on alerting changes in Kubernetes Monitoring

Kubernetes Monitoring in Grafana Cloud comes out of the box with preconfigured alert rules that notify you about issues like CPU throttling, crash-looping pods, and nodes going offline. These rules are installed automatically when you set up the app, and they start evaluating immediately. But if you've recently reinstalled the Kubernetes Monitoring app and your alert notifications stopped arriving, or started looking different, you're not alone.

StatusHub Q1 2026: SolarWinds Integration, Status API Preview & CloudFest Insights

In Q1 2026, we introduced a new SolarWinds Observability integration, started preparing the upcoming Status API for release, and spent time learning directly from MSPs at CloudFest 2026 about the operational challenges shaping modern incident communication.

Exploring Powerful Power BI Dashboards for Smarter Decision-Making

Operational dashboards help teams answer urgent business questions quickly. They show whether production is on track, inventory is healthy, downtime is rising, or resources are being stretched too thin. This article explores practical Power BI dashboard examples for operational efficiency across production, supply chain management, resource planning, and performance measurement. It also explains how to build dashboards that support real decisions rather than simply displaying data.

SIEM alerts: everything you need to know

Let's walk through setting up SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) alerts to monitor security threats in applications. We will explain what SIEM alerts are, why they're relevant with regard to application security, and provide practical examples of common alerts a developer could implement. We will show how to configure simple alerts with Honeybadger Insights.

Alerting Software: 10 Must-Have Capabilities

Author: Matthes Derdack Businesses rely on countless systems, applications, and services to operate without disruptions. Whether it is cloud infrastructure, manufacturing equipment, IoT devices, healthcare platforms, or enterprise applications, every second of downtime can impact revenue, customer trust, and operational efficiency.

Replace Verizon Email-to-Text with OnPage's Paging / Critical Alerting Capabilities

It’s 2:00 AM on a Saturday. An energy company’s thermal storage system temperature violently spikes past safe operating thresholds. The monitoring system instantly fires off an emergency alert via a standard Verizon email-to-text gateway. But instead of waking the engineer, the message is delayed by the carrier network. By the time the on-call responder sees the text hours later, the equipment has failed, resulting in catastrophic downtime.

When the Report Cannot Tell the Story: Building Incident Programs That Capture as They Respond

Two weeks after a payments outage took a regional bank offline for ninety-three minutes, the post-incident report landed on the CIO’s desk. It ran forty pages. It named the failed service, the ticket numbers, the restoration steps, and the engineers who paged in. It did not answer the question the board had actually asked, which was why the on-call team had spent the first forty-one minutes chasing a downstream symptom rather than the upstream cause.

Problem Management vs. Incident Management

Why Fixing Incidents Is Only Half the Work Fixing an incident is not the same as solving a problem. In enterprise IT operations, that distinction carries significant operational weight. Organizations that treat every disruption as a discrete, isolated event to be resolved and closed will continue to encounter the same disruptions, on the same infrastructure, from the same root causes. The cycle does not end because the underlying problem was never addressed.

Jira Notifications Management: The Enterprise Guide to Routing, Reducing Noise, and Closing the Loop

Jira is the system of record for engineering work at nearly every enterprise that runs agile delivery. It tracks epics, stories, bugs, sprints, releases, and the long tail of technical debt that keeps platform teams awake. What Jira was never designed to be is an alerting system.
