The Rise of the Machines: ITOM Meets Automation

May 25, 2020 By Micheline Murphy In SolarWinds

I started in the IT industry in networking. I had a negative experience in high school trying to learn computer programming*, so I was relieved route/switch had much less to do with computer programming. With the rise of the machines, this isn’t the case anymore. Now in addition to learning router or switch operating systems, routing protocols, and overlay technologies, today’s savvy network engineer needs to throw in things like Python, Ansible, and Jinja.

Node.js Logging Guide-Best Tips and Tools to Use in 2020

May 25, 2020 By SolarWinds In SolarWinds

When applications experience performance issues, developers may rely on heuristics and find the root cause of issues by directly looking into their code.

Application logs can help developers detect and resolve issues faster.

New in Grafana 7.0: Trace viewer and integrations with Jaeger and Zipkin

May 22, 2020 By Andrej Ocenas In Grafana

Moving to a scalable, distributed microservice architecture poses a great deal of challenges for any organization. It gets harder to understand the system and pinpoint where errors originate. Logs get much messier, and stitching together a coherent picture of a particular request can be time-consuming or downright impossible. Distributed tracing can help with all of that.

How to Monitor if a Process is Running

May 22, 2020 By Power Admin In Power Admin

PA Server Monitor's process monitor checks how many instances of a target specified process are running on Windows or Linux servers. It then compares that to the threshold and fires actions as needed. The process may be running locally, or remotely. PA Server Monitor can monitor remote processes on Windows servers via WMI or SNMP, as well as processes on remote Linux/Unix servers via SNMP. Process up or down data is recorded every time the monitor runs. You can define a time period, and optionally a summarization (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) to create an uptime report for the process.
