Enhancing digital performance has become a major priority for organizations today. Limited in-person interactions have forced people to depend on applications for their day-to-day needs. This is why an optimal digital experience has become synonymous with an organization’s ability to thrive. At ManageEngine, we are constantly focused on evolving and adapting to shifting technology trends.

Apache JMeter is an open source tool for load testing Java applications in both development and CI environments in order to ensure that sudden spikes in traffic won’t cause latency in production. But because load testing involves sending thousands of requests per minute in order to simulate real traffic, it can be difficult to parse outcomes and read patterns—especially for large organizations that test and deploy new code several times a day.

Maintaining business continuity when an issue arises has proven to be a challenge many organizations struggle with. A global pandemic being thrown into the mix in Q1 of 2020 (one that many businesses are still navigating through) introduced a new set of problems for both service providers and businesses reliant on those services.

Digital transformation is creating many challenges for businesses including data platform diversity, IT skills gaps, cost control (especially cloud) and a more complex technical environment that can have performance issues with many possible causes. Speed, always-on, outstanding customer experience, and cost control are the business requirements driving digital transformations and resulting in performance and risk challenges facing database operations teams. What are those challenges?

There are several metrics in use to determine incident management success. Two of them are MTTD and MTTR, which we will be discussing in this piece.

Monitoring solutions can either pull monitoring information from devices by querying those devices, or the devices themselves can use code to push data using an API into the monitoring system. Both work equally as well but have separate use cases. It is not always possible to query a device remotely, which means asking the device itself to send the data out to the monitoring platform is easier. Keep reading to learn more about push metrics and when it makes the most sense to use it.

I’ve been updating some of our security documentation explaining what we do to ensure our product is suitable for the security models in regulated industries, such as finance and healthcare. Talking to our security guys, I was flabbergasted to find out that there are monitoring products out there that go against what is not only an industry best practice but also the right thing to do: agents that open and listen on fixed TCP ports!

Tired of composing the same endpoint searches over and over while working on performance issues? We've got you covered with our new Saved Searches feature! It allows you to bookmark your commonly used endpoint searches by app component, so instead of having to remember an exact query, you can just save it so you don't have to sift through the endpoints list again. It's just another way we try to help our users get answers, not just a bunch of data.

Today’s networks have evolved a long way since their early days and have become rather complicated systems that comprise numerous different network devices, protocols, and applications. Consequently, it is practically impossible to have a complete overview of what is happening in the network or whether everything in the network works as it should. Eventually, network problems will arise.
