Observability for Service Organizations | Bart Scheltinga (RawWorks)

Observability is trending. Organizations that rely on cloud infrastructure and cloud applications prioritize observability initiatives to get control over their business’s applications. At the same time, we see the “gap” between the on-premises infrastructure and “non-cloud” infrastructure is becoming bigger. Examples are End User Computing (EUC) and Global networks (SD-WAN).

Metrics for Apache Kafka with Datadog and Aiven | Ryan Martin (Aiven)

Using managed services is all very well, but how do you get the data you need from the different services into Datadog so you can see it all in one place? This session will walk through the configuration for bringing your Aiven-managed Apache Kafka service metrics into your Datadog explorer. You’ll see how to filter the metrics to focus on specific topics or consumer groups, and how to use the Aiven client to create a repeatable, scriptable setup. This session is recommended for anyone living in the as-a-Service world who cares about data and is interested in using metrics to optimize their Kafka clusters.

Monitoring Open Source Success in Arduino | Silvano Cerza (Arduino)

Arduino is an open-source hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices. In the course of developing software downloaded and used by millions around the world, we have found it vitally important to be aware of the quality and performance of our software.

Streaming Auth0 Logs to Datadog | Sivamuthu Kumar (Computer Enterprises, Inc.)

Are you using Auth0 in your application for user logins? How will you monitor the Auth0 logs and detect user actions that could indicate security concerns? In this session, we will see how Datadog helps you to extend security monitoring by analyzing Auth0 User activities in the logs.

Nevertheless, several organizations do face varied challenges from welcoming these conventional IT solutions as switching to these initiatives tend to seem quite tedious.

Announcing the Preview of Splunk APM's AlwaysOn Profiling

For application developers and service owners who build and troubleshoot modern enterprise software, resolving production issues requires identifying poor performance across multiple networks, operating systems, servers, configs, and third party dependencies. When the problem is the code itself, code profiling helps identify service bottlenecks by periodically taking CPU snapshots, or call stacks, from a runtime environment.

Going Beyond Observability with Rollbar and Datadog

In this webinar, we explore some of the common objectives shared by users of both Datadog and Rollbar and how best to accomplish those goals. Datadog provides comprehensive observability covering a large swath of services and components, while Rollbar’s advanced intelligence and code improvement features help to make code insights more actionable and easily fixable.

5 Business Insights to Gain From APM

With soaring demand on digital infrastructures, increasing deployment of B2B and B2C custom applications, and ever-tightening budget constraints, it’s more important than ever to ensure service delivery in a cost-effective manner. Delays experienced by your business partners and customers mean higher costs, lost revenue, and lost market share at a time when you can least afford it. In effect, slow is the new down.
