The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
We hope you’ve enjoyed a fantastic summer and are all eager to gear up for the next phase of advancing seamless IT infrastructure, services, and performance monitoring. As a seasoned SCOM administrator, you know the intricacies of orchestrating IT infrastructure monitoring. The landscape has evolved dramatically in recent years, with an exponential surge in monitoring alongside the expected depth of observations.
Cloud deployments and containerization let you provision infrastructure as needed, meaning your applications can grow in scope and complexity. The results can be impressive, but the ability to expand quickly and easily makes it harder to keep track of your system as it develops. In this type of Kubernetes deployment, it’s essential to track your containers to understand what they’re doing.
Elastic Cloud Observability is the premiere tool to provide visibility into your running web apps. Google Cloud Run is the serverless platform of choice to run your web apps that need to scale up massively and scale down to zero. Elastic Observability combined with Google Cloud Run is the perfect solution for developers to deploy web apps that are auto-scaled with fully observable operations, in a way that’s straightforward to implement and manage.
How you choose to store and process your system data can have significant implications on the cost and performance of your system. These implications are magnified when your system has data-intensive operations such as machine learning, AI, or microservices. And that’s why it’s crucial to find the right data format. For example, Parquet file format can help you save storage space and costs, without compromising on performance.
In a recent user group meeting, guest speaker Marc Luescher from Amazon Web Services (AWS) joined us to give an overview of Amazon Security Lake. We talked about Cribl use cases and how Cribl Stream can bring your non-AWS data into the Security Lake. Enterprises are dealing with some significant challenges with security data in 2023. Inconsistent, incomplete, poorly-formatted log data is simultaneously scattered across companies and locked up in different silos within the organization.
In today’s fast-paced world, applications are vital for driving businesses forward. However, without proper monitoring and insights into your application’s performance, you can’t identify what causes slow response times, high CPU usage, or database bottlenecks. But with an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool, you can gain deep visibility into your application’s performance by tracking critical metrics.
