How to Perform a Network Health Check: Step-by-Step Guide

Your apps are slow. Users are complaining. You're staring at a dashboard trying to figure out what broke and when. Sound familiar? This is the reality of reactive network monitoring. By the time someone opens a ticket, the issue has already been affecting performance for minutes, sometimes hours. A network health check flips that script. Instead of chasing problems after the fact, you're catching them before users ever notice.

You're probably overdue for a Sentry SDK upgrade

Session Replay. Structured logs. AI monitoring. Automatic OpenTelemetry tracing. Feature flag tracking. If you haven't seen these in your Sentry dashboard, your SDK version is probably the reason. Whether you're on @sentry/react, @sentry/nextjs, @sentry/vue, @sentry/angular, @sentry/sveltekit, or any other @sentry/* package, they all version together. When we say v10, we mean all of them.

The Cognitive Ceiling: Why Modern Environments Outgrew Human Interpretation

For more than a decade, organizations invested in tools and telemetry with the belief that more visibility would create more control. Monitoring expanded across cloud, application, network, and infrastructure layers. Observability platforms entered the mainstream. Automation tools promised faster detection and improved coordination. Yet despite these advancements, incidents are not easier to understand. War rooms still fill with conflicting interpretations. Signals generate more questions than answers.

Architecting Log Management for Privacy and Scale without the Headache

As companies grow, they inevitably hit a wall: observability data explodes while privacy requirements become stricter. For years, engineers have faced a painful tradeoff—either ship petabytes of sensitive data to a central cloud (incurring egress costs and compliance risks) or manage a complex self-hosted stack that is painful to scale.

Unifying Telemetry in Battery Energy Storage Systems

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) play a critical role in modern energy infrastructure. Utilities rely on these systems to balance renewable generation, stabilize grid operations, and respond to changing electricity demand. As deployments scale in size and complexity, operators require continuous insight into battery health, system performance, and grid interaction. Operators rely on telemetry generated across several operational platforms.

What Engineers Want from AI in Observability... According to the 2026 Observability Survey Report

The results show strong interest in AI for forecasting, root cause analysis, onboarding, and generating dashboards, alerts, and queries. But when it comes to autonomous action, practitioners are more cautious — and 95% say AI needs to show its work to earn trust.

Bridging the Gaps in Modern Operations: How Real-Time Messaging Improves System Reliability

In modern IT environments, reliability is no longer defined solely by system uptime or infrastructure resilience. It is equally shaped by how effectively systems, teams, and processes communicate under pressure. As architectures become more distributed and operations more complex, the gaps between tools, teams, and data streams have become one of the most persistent challenges in maintaining consistent performance.

Network Monitoring as Code

Tangling DNS, TCP handshake failures, packet loss: your network has blind spots that application-level dashboards miss. In this session, Daniel Paulus (VP Engineering, Checkly) sets up DNS, TCP, and ICMP monitors from scratch and deploys them as code using the Checkly CLI. You'll see how to import checks from the UI to a code project, use coding agents to build monitors, and debug network failures with Rocky AI, trace routes, and packet captures.

Product Update - March 2026

IncidentHub's latest product updates focus on improving the public status page, adding integrations with ticketing systems, private status page ingestion, and making the notifications more useful to the end user. Some of these improvements are driven by user feedback. Feedback is what makes the product better, and I am personally grateful to all our customers who have shared their feedback with us.
