Web servers are among the most important components in modern IT infrastructures. They host the websites, web services, and web applications that we use on a daily basis. Social networking, media streaming, software as a service (SaaS), and other activities wouldn’t be possible without the use of web servers. And with the advent of cloud computing and the movement of more services online, web servers and their monitoring are only becoming more important.

The Apache HTTP Server (Apache HTTPd) is one of the most popular open source web servers available. HTTPd was also the first project developed by the Apache Software foundation which now supports hundreds of well known projects including Kafka, Cassandra and Hadoop. Netdata has a public demo space where you can explore different monitoring use-cases. Check out the Apache demo room to explore and interact with the charts and metrics described here.

Engineering teams use a lot of single-domain monitoring tools. In fact, the average team manages and maintains 16 monitoring tools — and up to 40 — according to Moogsoft’s State of Availability Report.

Engineers spend far and away more time on monitoring than they do on any other task — innovative, value-creating tasks included.

Detroit, known by its nickname “Motor City'', is a bustling and beautiful city filled with dazzling architecture, food, history, and of course, people.This year, it was home to KubeCon 2022. The city is close to home for Jake and I, 45 minutes from where we started Cycle; it was wonderful seeing how the city has grown the last few years. The art deco style buildings loomed overhead, and the smell of freshly cooked food wafted through the downtown area just outside the venue.
