AI-powered insights for continuous profiling: introducing Flame graph AI in Grafana Cloud

Like many in the observability space, we see a lot of potential in harnessing AI to enhance the developer experience. As we continue to evolve and expand our observability platform, we strive to develop features that not only solve complex problems, but make it easier to access and derive value from tools like Grafana Pyroscope.

Tackling the Unsustainable Skills Challenge in Cybersecurity and Observability

This is the third and final post in a series of blog posts about the disconnect between modern IT and security teams and the vendors they’re forced to work with. If you’re looking for the first and second posts, you can find them here and here.

5 Top Kubernetes Observability Challenges and Solutions

Observability in IT refers to the ability to measure a system's internal functioning by studying its signals from the outside. Modern IT observability is achieved through three kinds of telemetry: metrics, traces, and logs. Metrics aggregate events to gauge a system’s current state. Tracing tracks the progress of each transaction to not only measure performance but also debug the problem. On the other hand, logs record each event, which can help during troubleshooting.

Major Improvements For Linux Users In Tracealyzer v4.9

Installation on Linux has been greatly simplified in the upcoming Tracealyzer v4.9. The installation package now includes everything needed to run the software. Linux users no longer need to install dependencies like Mono or libgconf. Instead, a native Linux binary is provided (for x86-64) with the Mono runtime integrated. Most other dependencies have been replaced or removed. You are up and running in a few minutes. We have also spent a lot of time improving the overall user experience on Linux.

Building for the Fortune 500,000: 80% to go...

To the Sentry community - It was sixteen years ago that David Cramer pushed the first commit to a side project, and twelve years ago when he and Chris Jennings turned this side project into a company that exists to solve a simple problem: making debugging any software issue dead simple. Since then, we’ve been on a path slightly different from what most people consider “observability.” Sentry isn’t a platform or a company that wants to collect logs and check a monitoring box.

Maximizing Uptime: Four Essential System Monitoring Best Practices

System uptime is a fundamental necessity for every organization that gives importance to the customer experience and satisfaction. A single minute of downtime can trigger a cascade of negative consequences, impacting everything from revenue streams to customer loyalty. So, why exactly is system uptime important? Downtime translates to lost revenue, frustrated users, and operational disruption.

Key MongoDB metrics to monitor using Applications Manager

MongoDB is an open-source NoSQL database management system that stores data in JSON-like documents and works without a schema. It’s a flexible, cross-platform database solution that uses a document-oriented architecture to store and retrieve data, and it’s known for its high scalability, performance, and fault tolerance. MongoDB monitoring is the process of tracking the health and performance of MongoDB servers to ensure high availability and to easily maintain MongoDB deployments.
