Today, we are excited to announce a huge step forward for Sysdig Monitor. We’re introducing the ability for our customers to use Sysdig to scale Prometheus monitoring to millions of metrics with long-term retention. The improvements we are releasing make Sysdig the first cloud-scale monitoring offering to deliver full Prometheus compatibility.
PromCat, short for Prometheus Catalog, is a resource catalog for enterprise-class Prometheus monitoring. Prometheus has been revolutionary in the way we monitor our cloud-native environments, attracting immense attention from the open-source community and making the amount of Prometheus monitoring resources explode. Now, there are so many resources available that it’s no longer easy to filter out the good ones and discard those that are poorly documented or obsolete.
Grafana’s plugins are a quick and simple way to extend Grafana’s dashboard plugins and data sources.
“All code and no logging makes John a black box error-prone system.” Logging is a key aspect of monitoring, troubleshooting and debugging your code. Not only does it make your project’s underlying execution more transparent and intelligible, but also more accessible in its approach. In a company or a community setting, intelligent logging practices can help everyone to be on the same page about the status and the progress of the project.
Security information and event management, or SIEM, has become part of the vocabulary of every organization. SIEM solutions gather events from multiple systems and analyze them—both in real time and through historical data. SIEM costs—as cyber security costs in general—can be high, but there is a tradeoff if you opt for the FOSS route (free and open source solutions).
Today, we are excited to announce PagerTree now officially supports schedule rotations! A long awaited feature and requested by many customers, with schedule rotations it’s now easier than ever to schedule a list (or “rotation”) of people for full coverage support. Schedule rotations are available on our Pro and Elite pricing plans and are technically a subset of our “recurring schedules” feature.
Coding Sans has published the State of Software Development Report since 2018 in an effort to uncover the rapidly evolving trends of this particularly agile industry.

Container use continues to grow, and Kubernetes is the most widely adopted container orchestration system, managing nearly half of all container deployments.1 Successful integration of container services within the enterprise depends heavily on access to external resources such as databases, cloud services, third-party application programming interfaces (APIs), and other applications. All this egress activity must be controlled for security and compliance reasons.
Forecasting health is vital in today's society. Who has the highest risk of getting a virus? Are you able to predict when this will happen? Knowing answers to these questions could save many lives. Forecasting the health of IT infrastructures is equally essential. Think of identifying databases that are about to stop serving requests in a timely matter, hard drives that are about to run out of space, or Service-level agreements (SLA's) that are about to cross the set thresholds.
