How to Monitor Microsoft SharePoint Online Performance

In this video, we’ll cover the basics of getting started with Exoprise CloudReady and how to set up your first sensor to monitor Microsoft 365 SharePoint from your own locations or behind the firewall. You will learn how to quickly install the management client, add a private site, deploy a SharePoint sensor and visualize the data in the CloudReady platform all in under 5 minutes. CloudReady supports deploying private sensors behind your firewall or public sensors in the cloud for synthetic transaction monitoring. Service watch, on the other hand, can be deployed for real user monitoring of remote user issues.

Key metrics for monitoring AWS Fargate

AWS Fargate provides a way to use AWS container orchestration services—Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)—without needing to provision and maintain the infrastructure that runs your containers. Fargate is similar to serverless container platforms from Google (Cloud Run) and Microsoft (AKS virtual nodes).

How to collect metrics and logs from AWS Fargate workloads

In Part 1 of this series, we showed you the key metrics you can monitor to understand the health of your Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS clusters running on AWS Fargate. In this post, we’ll show you how you can: You can use Amazon CloudWatch and related AWS services to gain visibility into your ECS clusters and the Fargate infrastructure that runs them.

AWS Fargate monitoring with Datadog

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the important metrics to monitor when you’re running ECS or EKS on AWS Fargate. In Part 2 we showed you how to use Amazon CloudWatch and other tools to collect those metrics plus logs from your application containers. Fargate’s serverless container platform helps users deploy and manage ECS and EKS applications, but the dynamic nature of containers makes them challenging to monitor.
