SAP Application Performance Monitoring (APM): Beyond Generic Metrics
Your enterprise APM tool shows SAP is using 90% CPU. The dashboard turns red. An alert fires. Now what? You open Dynatrace. You see the Java Virtual Machine metrics for your NetWeaver stack. You see HTTP response times for your Fiori apps. You see a spike in database calls. None of this tells you why VA01 takes 45 seconds to create a sales order. None of this tells you which custom ABAP report is consuming memory. None of this explains the short dump that crashed your pricing routine. This is the gap between generic APM and true SAP application performance monitoring. Your enterprise tools see the symptoms.
Case Study - Troubleshooting Storage Failures in a VMware ESXi Infrastructure
IT problems happen even in the best architected infrastructure due to configuration changes, failures, upgrades and such. How quickly and effectively you can detect and resolve such problems dictates how efficient your IT operation is. Today, I’ll cover how eG Enterprise helped us troubleshoot a hardware failure (a storage battery failure) that that caused a cascade of failures in a VMware ESXi infrastructure.
How to write annotations in Kubernetes with JSON for Datadog Autodiscovery | Datadog Tips & Tricks
Pod annotations in Kubernetes with invalid JSON syntax can prevent Datadog Autodiscovery from detecting integrations, resulting in missing metrics and gaps in monitoring. Watch this video for a step-by-step process to write annotations: Note: This video focuses on Datadog Autodiscovery v2 syntax.
SSL/TLS Certificate Lifetimes to Reduce to 47 Days
Last year it was widely reported that the CA/Browser Forum had voted to significantly reduce the lifespan of SSL/TLS certificates over the next 4 years, with a final lifespan of just 47 days starting in 2029. The first reduction will come into action in a few weeks, on March 15th 2026, accelerating the need for organizations to automate their monitoring and renewal processes around certificate expiry.
Improve performance and reliability with APM Recommendations
SREs and application developers rely on telemetry data to understand and improve their systems. As organizations scale and evolve, those systems generate an ever-growing volume of metrics, logs, and traces. But more data alone does not make it easier to improve performance or reliability: Identifying meaningful optimizations still requires careful investigation and analysis.
NIS2 and CER Serve a Broader Purpose Than Cybersecurity - The 5 Biggest Risks You Need to Address Now
The European directives NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2) and Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive have rapidly sharpened the conversation around digital resilience. While many organizations initially viewed these directives as an extension of their cybersecurity obligations, it is becoming increasingly clear that much more is at stake. These directives require a strategic transformation in how organizations manage risks, processes, and responsibilities.
