Being able to visualize data from all of your tools in a unified dashboard experience has become critical to most enterprises today. With SquaredUp dashboards, you can not only correlate data from SCOM and Azure, but also surface critical information from your other tools and data sources – including ServiceNow, Azure Log Analytics, App Insights, all SQL databases and any Web API. In short, you can get unified dashboards with real-time operational intelligence for all teams across all tools.

Prometheus is an essential element in DevOps. It has one of the largest contributor communities in the open source world and is the favorite database for time-series metrics data. It is also part of Logz.io’s complete observability package, which integrates open source grafana, Jaeger, and ELK Stack into one platform. It’s a favorite for system and container monitoring. This tutorial will show you how Prometheus works with Docker and your local machine.

In collaboration with the AWS team, we have just launched another AWS integration, the AWS IoT SiteWise plugin for Grafana. AWS IoT SiteWise is a managed service that helps users collect, store, organize, and monitor data from industrial equipment, across facilities, at scale.

APIs provide insights for development teams to configure and deploy DevOps infrastructure. API performance metrics aid in the contribution of operational functionalities to the project. API performance metrics are measured in a hierarchical structure in conjunction with operational API metrics. Operational metrics are the most basic set of the metric structure for measuring API performance. The metrics include number of API calls, CPU or memory usage.

System administrators play a vital role in every organization’s IT department, and one of the key responsibilities they have is to troubleshoot employees’ devices in case of device issue or malfunction to prevent loss of productivity. With employees working from remote locations, especially now during the pandemic, troubleshooting can be challenging without the device being physically present.

There’s an AI-led developer and operations (DevOps) evolution afoot which is stoking SREs’ increasingly critical efforts to assure and improve the customer experience by automating the toil out of observability. This movement feeds on a supercharged process of turning telemetry into actionable insight by automatically drawing anomalies, changes and events out of the full-stack event and telemetry data, and analyzing it for correlation and causality.

‍As children we believed in magic, imagined, and a fantasy where robots would one day follow our commands, undertaking our most meager tasks and even help with our homework at the push of a button! But sadly it always seemed that these beliefs, along with the idea of self-driven aero cars and jetpacks, belonged in a future beyond our imagination or in a Hollywood Sci-fi. Would we ever get to experience the future in our lifetime?
