The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
Many of us remember the public service announcements asking parents if they knew where their kids were at night. They were ominous and a little alarming. Asking yourself the same question about your data can be equally as scary, but Cribl Edge can help.
Elasticsearch® recently released time series data streams for metrics. This not only provides better metrics support in Elastic Observability, but it also helps reduce storage costs. We discussed this in a previous blog. In this blog, we dive into how to enable and use time series data streams by reviewing what a time series metrics document is and the mapping used for enabling time series. In particular, we will showcase this by using Elastic Observability’s Nginx integration.
Running a hybrid network requires a deep understanding of how data is transmitted, received, and processed, as well as knowledge of different hardware, software, and security protocols. Additionally, as technology evolves, new challenges and considerations arise, such as the integration of IoT devices, SaaS, containers, and the increasing importance of cybersecurity. Overall, computer networking is a constantly evolving field that requires ongoing learning and adaptation.
As more companies rely on data insights to drive critical business decisions, data must be accurate, reliable, and of high quality. Gaining insights from data is essential, but so is the data’s integrity so that you can be sure that data isn’t missing, incorrectly added, or misused. This is where data observability comes in.
When your business is all about providing cloud services at the edge, optimizing the quality of your network connectivity is paramount to customer success. Learn how StackPath saved $3 million and optimized their network performance by using Kentik.
Web performance is a critical aspect of delivering exceptional user experiences. To measure and optimize website performance, various tools are available, each offering unique features and capabilities. In this article, we will compare two popular web performance tools: Lighthouse and Sitespeed combined with Graphite. We'll explore the strengths and benefits of each toolset, helping you make an informed decision for your performance testing and optimization needs.
Greetings, Kubernetes Time Lords! Through a series of recent updates to our multi-purpose Kubernetes Monitoring solution in Grafana Cloud, we’ve made it easier than ever to assess your resource utilization, whether you’re looking at yesterday, today, or tomorrow. All companies that use Kubernetes, regardless of size, should monitor their available resource utilization. If a fleet is under-provisioned, the performance and availability of applications and services are at serious risk.
In the dynamic landscape of software and web applications, failures can have severe consequences, impacting user experience, business continuity, and overall performance. To proactively address these challenges, organizations rely on robust monitoring practices supported by failure metrics. Failure metrics, specifically tailored to software and web application monitoring, provide crucial insights into system health, reliability, and optimization opportunities.
If you have ever worked in a kitchen, you know how tough it is to be short-staffed. Cooks have to work twice as hard and their performance suffers, leaving not-so-happy customers and comped meals for the complainers. It’s similar to how applications operate. Maybe an application is glitching out from poor coding on the backend or bogging from an influx of data coming in. In either case, the end-user application experience suffers.
