The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
If you thought the fishmonger’s hair net was the only kind of net you’re wrong. From Pandora FMS we will show you some more, so that you do not get lost without them. The term “network” is used in computing to name a set of computers connected to each other in such a way that they can share resources, services, and information. There are several ways to classify these networks, based on their scope, relationship, or connection method.
The current days of remote work and “IT Ops from home” may or may not be here to stay, but they definitely reinforce the need for consolidating and modernizing our monitoring. The challenges which multiple siloed tools create for understanding the big picture are only exacerbated by having just one screen to look at when monitoring our IT from our kitchen table.
SOLID is one of the most popular sets of design principles in object-oriented software development. All of them are broadly used and worth knowing. But in this first post of my series about the SOLID principles, I will focus on the first one: the Single Responsibility Principle.
Welcome to the new world, my friends. Now that working from home is our new reality, we've found that many of our customers are taking a much closer look at the technology that binds us all together and allows us to access corporate resources: the humble VPN.

For those of us already using Microsoft Teams, the benefits couldn’t be clearer: Microsoft Teams provides everyone with one place to chat, meet, call, and collaborate, no matter where you are. IT professionals who support modern workplace tools like Office 365, and remote meeting platforms like Zoom and WebEx, can greatly benefit from connecting critical applications like Exoprise, directly into the Teams Channels they are already using.
When monitoring highly distributed applications, which might rely on hundreds of services and infrastructure components across multiple cloud-based and on-premise environments, identifying problems and pinpointing the origin of an issue can be challenging. Even if you already have robust monitoring and alerts, your infrastructure and applications will likely change over time, which may make it difficult to reliably detect irregular behavior.
As everyone knows, the Grafana project began with a goal to make the dashboarding experience better for everyone, and to make it easy to create beautiful and useful dashboards like this one. But as Andrej Ocenas, a full stack developer at Grafana Labs, said in a recent FOSDEM 2020 presentation, the company has bigger ambitions for Grafana than just being a beautiful dashboarding application.
