Release Icinga Notifications v1.0.0
Icinga Notifications 1.0.0 is here: the right people, informed at the right time. Monitoring only helps if the right person hears about a problem at the right moment. That is what Icinga Notifications does. Version 1.0.0 is the first stable release, and we consider it ready for production use. With it, you decide who gets notified, how and when. You also see at a glance which problems are open and who takes care of them. In this post, we show you what this means for your daily work and how to get started.
VoIP Troubleshooting Guide: Fix Choppy Audio & Dropped Calls
VoIP is usually the first application to break when a network degrades. Calls run in real time over UDP, so a lost or late packet can't be resent. It's simply missing audio. A connection that handles email, file transfers and web browsing without complaint can still make every call sound broken. That's also why VoIP problems are hard to troubleshoot.
Catchpoint Is Now LogicMonitor Digital Experience
Catchpoint is now LogicMonitor Digital Experience. Co-founder Mehdi Daoudi reflects on the work connecting Internet and user experience visibility with LogicMonitor’s infrastructure insights, and how that progress advances the company’s Autonomous IT vision.
Sentry under 8 mins
If you've never used Sentry, this is the short version. In under eight minutes, we walk through what it does, what it captures, and where to go next. Sentry is an application monitoring platform. It collects errors, logs, timings, and replays, and ties them together with tracing, so you can go from "something broke" to the line of code that broke it without opening six tabs. Here's what we cover: On data: out of the box, Sentry scrubs things like passwords, tokens, and credit card numbers. You decide what else gets collected, and you can choose US or EU storage.
Connecting Cloudflare and Honeybadger with OpenTelemetry
Honeybadger Insights is pretty great. It's even greater when you connect it to Cloudflare and start shipping logs directly from Cloudflare Workers to Insights. If you're already using Cloudflare to distribute your applications, it's easy to set up. Cloudflare Workers logs capture what your application is doing at the edge: console.log() output, uncaught exceptions, and system-generated logs for each request.
Measuring soft navigation web vitals
If we were to reduce web performance into a single term, it would be “web vitals”. Web vitals are a universal signal that every developer can measure, and more importantly, optimize for. They describe many facets of the user experience when it comes to performance, but they were limited to specific types of navigations. Capturing web vitals for your apps has been largely about users landing on your site from somewhere else. We measured that experience and you optimized for it.
Grafana 13.3 release: manage variables across dashboards, share findings with Notebooks, a UI refresh, and more
Grafana 13.3 is here, bringing more consistency and control to how you work across Grafana. Cross-dashboard variables help you manage shared dashboard controls from one place, while Notebooks let you capture and share findings from across Grafana in a single, editable document. You'll also get a first look at Grafana's biggest visual refresh since Grafana 7, along with new ways to guide and refine dashboards built with Grafana Assistant.
Network Optimization Guide With 10 Top Ways to Cut Slowdowns and Downtime
Why does everything crawl at peak hour, even though every switch looks fine? Calls break up and file copies stall. Then the tickets arrive, each one some version of "the network is slow." It's rarely one broken device. A WAN link maxes out for an hour with voice packets queued behind a backup job. Last week's config change hasn't been linked to any of it yet. Network optimization sorts this out one measured step at a time, starting with performance monitoring.
Default to serverless for AI agents, then let production data decide what moves
Serverless should be the first execution model teams evaluate for AI agent workloads. Many agents spend much of their lifetime waiting, and always-on compute forces teams to pay for every idle minute. In a study of more than 35,000 production coding-agent sessions, the median session ran LLM or tool calls for only 20% of its lifetime. The rest of the time, it sat idle between steps, with its sandbox still allocated.
