LogicMonitor’s agentless collection has long provided customers with many benefits for collecting telemetry data directly from network devices. Recently, LogicMonitor added another feature, enabling the discovery of devices/sites and the collection of telemetry data from the Cisco Catalyst Center. Retaining options is essential due to the pros and cons associated with each approach.

A few days ago, I was in a meeting with a prospect who was just starting to try out OpenTelemetry. One of the things that they did was to create an observability demo project which contained an HTTP reverse proxy, a web frontend, three microservices, a database, and a message queue. Here’s a rough diagram: Their motivation was to try out OpenTelemetry and see how much effort it took for them to instrument their system.

On October 1, 2022, the UK Telecommunications Security Act (TSA) went into effect, imposing new security requirements for public telecom companies. The purpose of the act is noble, as it wants to ensure the reliability and resilience of the UK telecommunications network that underpins virtually every aspect of the economy and modern society.

Site reliability engineers (SREs) and security analysts — despite having very different roles — share a lot of the same goals. They both employ proactive monitoring and incident response strategies to identify and address potential issues before they become service impacting. They also both prioritize organizational stability and resilience, aiming to minimize downtime and disruptions.

If you’re an InfluxDB v2 user looking to use InfluxDB v3, you might be wondering how you can migrate data. We are still developing migration tooling. In the meantime, you can use the Quix Template to sync data from InfluxDB v2 to InfluxDB v3. Quix is a complete solution for building, deploying, and monitoring real-time applications and streaming data pipelines using Python abstracted over Kafka with DataFrames.

Splunk’s extensible and scalable data platform has been instrumental in helping ITOps teams fully understand their tech environments and tackle any IT use case with data streaming, dashboarding, federated search, AI/ML, and more. But, with the explosion of telemetry and the growing complexity of digital systems, ITOps practitioners who rely solely on a logging solution are missing out on critical insights from their digital systems.

Website uptime monitoring is the process of regularly checking if a website or application is available and working correctly. The main goal is to make sure that the website or app is always accessible to users and functioning as it should.

In the high-stakes world of banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), collectively known as the finance sector, where transactions occur in milliseconds and financial destinies are determined in the blink of an eye, the need for uninterrupted connectivity, secure transactions, and access to accurate, real-time information is critical. It constitutes the foundation for the very integrity and success of financial operations.

Monitoring network components efficiently is crucial for troubleshooting potential issues and ensuring optimal network performance. With the ever-growing complexity of networks, having a solution that streamlines the process of organizing network elements becomes indispensable.
