Communicating Strategically with Manual Reporting Availability (Part 3)
In my prior two blog posts, we focused on creating a bunch of Enterprise Applications (EAs), tagging those EAs, and then updating the Status dashboard to only show those EAs that are Critical Service Offerings (CSO). For this blog post, we will create some relationships and demonstrate how alerting behaves using SquaredUp's Manual Reporting Availability functionality available in the EAM tier of the product.

Today we will look at how we can use the OpenTelemetry .NET library to instrument a .NET 5.0 web API, to offload traces to Tempo and logs to Loki in Grafana Cloud. Grafana Cloud now has a free plan.

How I monitor my OpenWrt router with Grafana Cloud and Prometheus
I’ve been an open source fan and user for many, many years, going back to before we defined the term “open source” and we called it “free software.” Whenever and wherever possible I prefer to have control over the software I run on my devices. Case in point: My internet router runs OpenWrt, which is a free/open source Linux operating system designed to replace the software provided by the router’s manufacturer.
How to Build Modern Dashboards in the Orion Platform
The Orion Platform has a new modern dashboarding framework. This data-driven dashboard framework provides greater level of flexibility over how data is displayed.
