When you need to troubleshoot faster, rich out-of-the-box content lets you easily monitor the tools in your technology stack. Dashboards are key to our customers’ success — offering you deep insights at a glance and the ability to drill into the details most important to you. A couple years ago, we debuted a new style of dashboards, built on top of a scalable, flexible and extensible charting system.

On the heels of an exciting GA in March and the April announcement of its regional expansion, we are excited to share the latest updates to Splunk Edge Processor that will make it even easier for customers to have more flexibility and control over just the data you want, nothing more nothing less.

This article is the second in a 4-part series on leveraging artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) to provide a more efficient, reliable, agile, cost-effective, and optimized IT infrastructure. If Artificial Intelligence is the ultimate multi-tool for IT operations (as discussed in our first article), then DevOps, Network Ops, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), and SecOps are the teams using it.

As mentioned in our ultimate guide to HTTP status codes, the HTTP 999 is unofficial, but it still plays an important role in the flow of our online journey in unexpected ways — and here’s why. So what is it for? We all know that the digital highway is held together by something called the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP.

There is a complex series of dialogues happening behind the scenes every time you use the internet. Your browser and servers are always communicating — and while most people don’t understand the internet’s language, it’s definitely essential for developers and SEO experts to understand it.

In addition to the built-in user authentication that utilizes usernames and passwords, Grafana also provides support for various mechanisms to authenticate users, so you can securely integrate your instance with external identity providers.

Distributed tracing is a powerful technique that allows you to track the flow and timing of requests as they navigate through a system. By linking operations and requests between multiple services, distributed tracing provides valuable insights into system performance and helps identify bottlenecks. In this blog post, we will delve into the benefits of distributed tracing, explore its relevance for various application architectures, and uncover how it operates behind the scenes.

More information means more insights; at least, those NBC “the more you know” public services announcements told you it would help. Unfortunately, you can create new problems if you do too much logging. To streamline your log collection, you can apply some filtering of messages directly from the log source. However, to parse the data, you may need to use a Grok pattern.

Earlier this week we shared some exciting news. Checkly has made its mark in not one, but two Gartner Hype Cycles reports. We're being recognized for something we're super passionate about - Monitoring as Code (MaC). This recognition comes in the Hype Cycle for Monitoring and Observability and the first ever Hype Cycle for Site Reliability Engineering. It's a big deal for us, and here's why it should matter to you, too.
