That's a wrap! We hosted "WTF is Incident Management" on May 12, 2021. We invited four very knowledgeable panelists to discuss how they define incident management, what changes they'd make if they could start again from scratch, how to manage team stress after an incident, and other subjects. Our panelists were: host Matt Stratton (Staff Developer Advocate at Pulumi), Emily Ruppe (Incident Commander at Twilio), Alina Anderson (Sr.
Server monitoring is important for optimum server performance to ensure no disruptions to your business. However, server performance monitoring can be dispersed and complex. Keeping an eye on everything has become an uphill battle. Information on the server allows you to better understand what went wrong. Tools, like Retrace, that make this uphill battle more streamlined and manageable. Let’s learn how to monitor server performance.
It’s so easy these days to set-up your own WiFi network. You order a router online, plug it into the electrical socket, define a password and you’re good to go. WiFi is fast, reliable and easy to use. But if you want to cover a wider area or connect hundreds of small devices it quickly becomes inefficient and expensive. Is the only way to go to your local mobile network operator and sign a contract? No! Thanks to open source technology, you can build your own LTE or 5G network.
Together we have reached the end. Two partners, two allies, two distributions that supported millions of innovators have reached their end-of-life (EOL). April will be remembered as the month where ROS Kinetic and Ubuntu Xenial reached EOL. ROS Kinetic is one of the most used, widely deployed and extensively contributed ROS distributions (1st with 1233 repos in ros/rosdistro). Released in 2016, it supported newer related components, notably Gazebo 7 and OpenCV 3, and this month has reached its end.
Over time, Enterprise Alert continues to grow and more and more teams are starting to benefit from Enterprise Alert’s reliable alerting. As part of this process, Enterprise Alert almost always becomes a central component of the NOC and has practically trained the NOC admins. For this reason, here in support we rarely have the pleasure of presenting the features of our alarm center.
Enterprise Alert is constantly evolving to provide our customers with new ways to implement event sources and use new features. With version 9, several new features have been implemented that make it easier for customers to create alerts for specific processes and events. These include the new “Website Monitoring” event source.

A few days ago I had an insightful conversation with one of our customers who inspired me to write this blog. He, like so many other customers, was facing the problem that his Enterprise Alert management overhead was increasing with each new team he added, as he had been managing resources such as event sources, notification channels and alert policies for the new teams as well. His question to us, therefore, was whether he could not also put these management tasks in the hands of the teams.
The pandemic has undoubtedly accelerated digital transformation for organizations of all sizes and across all sectors. With that change, Canadians’ expectations for streamlined, simple digital services are shifting, too. Citizens are now looking for consumer-grade experiences from government. With demand for digital experiences increasing across all generations of Canadians, government has an opportunity to streamline their services for the digital age.
