Efficient monitoring and visualization of performance metrics are paramount for ensuring seamless user experiences and reliable system operations. Grafana and Graphite, two powerful open-source tools, form an unbeatable combination when it comes to monitoring and analyzing time-series data. Grafana provides a robust and flexible platform for visualizing data, while Graphite acts as a scalable and efficient backend for storing and retrieving metric data.

Monitoring CPU temperature is crucial for ensuring the smooth and efficient functioning of computer systems. As processors become more powerful, they generate more heat, which can lead to performance issues, system instability, and even hardware damage. Overheating is a common problem faced by many computer users, especially those who engage in resource-intensive tasks like gaming or running complex software.

Open source projects are a testament to the possibilities of collective action. From small libraries to large-scale systems, these projects rely on the volunteer efforts of communities to evolve, improve, and sustain. The principles behind successful open source projects resonate deeply with the divide-and-conquer strategy, a universal approach that has proven effective across multiple disciplines.

In recent years, it has often been said that the network is a “utility” much like heat or hot water. It’s a necessity to the needs of daily life for much of the world’s population. In fact, the United Nations has called for universal internet access to be accepted as a basic human right by 2030. But as the network becomes more ubiquitous, there’s risk of it being taken for granted. Organizations that do this, however, will be putting themselves at a disadvantage.

AppNeta by Broadcom will soon offer monitoring policies that streamline monitoring setup and maintenance. Now available for preview, these capabilities will significantly reduce the time and effort required for ongoing operations, especially for customers with large-scale and dynamic sets of monitoring points.

While we all love open source technology and the community that comes with it, we don’t always have the time or resources to stand up, maintain, update, and troubleshoot a self-hosted stack.

In today’s digital age, the need for efficient document storage and collaboration tools is more pressing than ever. Microsoft, being a leader in the enterprise solutions sector, offers two standout products in this category: SharePoint and OneDrive. While both tools hail from the same Microsoft family and integrate seamlessly with other Microsoft 365 apps, they serve distinct purposes. Let’s delve deeper into the nuances of each and understand their primary differences.

The cybersecurity industry is experiencing an explosion of innovative tools designed to tackle complex security challenges. However, the hype surrounding these tools has outpaced their actual capabilities, leading many teams to struggle with complexity and extracting value from their investment. In this conversation with Optiv‘s Randy Lariar, we explore the potential and dangers of bringing advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence tools to the cybersecurity space.

IT Operations Management or ITOM is the practice that helps you manage IT service delivery. It ensures that your services are monitored, incidents are dealt with quickly and effectively, and your environment is optimized for availability and performance. In this article, we will go through ITOM’s scope of action, the main functions it covers, benefits of implementing it, and some possible challenges to consider when doing so.

To excel in embedded development in 2023, it is essential to have a solid understanding of build systems, continuous integration, and deployment strategies. This workshop by Percepio training partner Jacob Beningo aims to provide a comprehensive primer on these practices, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle complex firmware projects with confidence.
