Because of the recent cyberattack, we’ve asked you to update your Orion Platform several times. While these updates are necessary for the safety and performance of your environment, we understand there can be delays due to Change Advisory Boards (CABs), change freezes, and other factors.

Earlier this year, we announced our plan to release new SQL Sentry editions that would help data professionals not only get started easily with SQL Sentry but also gain visibility across their data estate. We ended up making some tweaks to our SQL Sentry editions following that announcement, and we are excited to introduce both a brand-new edition and an updated edition of our flagship database performance monitoring solution.

Many teams take advantage of the convenience of deploying their apps to the platform as a service (PaaS) providers such as DigitalOcean. Cloud solutions like this are an easy way for teams to deploy and scale their applications without worrying about the details. However, even in these managed environments, poorly written apps can cause issues. If your pages load too slowly, users will likely leave your site and look for another.

When something goes wrong with a user’s device, who do they turn to for help? Maybe an employee walks up to their favorite IT team member’s desk or sends them a Slack message. They may even try to find a DIY solution by browsing the web. Though these methods may ultimately give the user the result they’re looking for, they aren’t necessarily the most effective way to handle technology issues.

We’ve been listening to our customers. Whether you’re a SolarWinds® Loggly®, SolarWinds AppOptics™, or SolarWinds Pingdom® user, we’ve been working hard to make your life easier. We’re happy to announce a brand-new experience designed to bring together real user monitoring, synthetic transactions, metrics, traces, and logs in a single platform, making it faster and easier to identify, triage, and troubleshoot application issues.

Remote monitoring and management (RMM) and mobile device management (MDM) have several key differences—but IT businesses can benefit the most from choosing software that combines both capabilities.

In the ultracompetitive times in which we live, organizations must leverage every asset at their disposal if they’re to survive and thrive. Log data is undoubtedly valuable, so having a proper log management strategy in place is vital for any tech team . Unfortunately, implementing a great log management strategy isn’t as easy as it sounds. It involves many factors, including the selection of an adequate tool.

What’s the most wanted feature for a Node.js application? Well, high performance with no downtime is one of the top answers for this question. But how do you accomplish this? Monitoring is key to gain a better understanding of the health of your application. For example, by implementing monitoring, you can detect problems, such as a memory leak or long-running processes that block the Node.js event loop.
