Introducing the Sentry GitHub Deployment Gate Integration

If you have a large codebase with multiple developers shipping quickly – errors need to be caught quickly as well. To help ensure your code is performant and reliable while you’re deploying code, we partnered with GitHub to build a bridge between your CI/CD workflow and your favorite error monitoring tool (Sentry, of course).

Retrace Logging Benefits

More than just APM, Logs inside of trace requests. Centralised Logging allows logs from many sources such as servers, files, applications all into Retrace. Search for log, go straight into trace. Tagging allows to group logs (based on client, developer etc.). Search and filter with any text, tag, regular expression. Save searches. Retrace allows unlimited users, all users can use saved searches. Live Tailing - what's going on the servers at any one time

IBM-i Monitoring with the M81 Plugin

There are more than 200,000 companies around the world that use the current IBM Power server technology within the IBM i operating system (formerly OS/400, i5/OS). In Pandora FMS we are aware of this need, and we can integrate this IBM-i technology with the rest of open systems thanks to the m-18 plugin. This includes IBM i systems, SAP, Oracle, Windows systems, Unix systems, Linux systems, and applications from any manufacturer, as well as hardware and network equipment.

Device Groups in Dashboards

Utilizing device groups inside of dashboards is extremely powerful and will allow you to present all the information collected by Service Watch for whatever you are trying to accomplish. Whether you are looking to benchmark the devices of your remote workforce or figure out which office is performing better or worse after changes, you’ll find it extremely easy to visualize this information.

Search your logs efficiently with Datadog Log Management

In any type of organization and at any scale, logs are essential to a comprehensive monitoring stack. They provide granular, point-in-time insights into the health, security, and performance of your whole environment, making them critical for key workflows such as incident response, security investigations, auditing, and performance analysis. Many organizations generate millions (or even billions) of log events across their tech stack every day.

Use Datadog monitors as quality gates for GitHub Actions deployments

With the growing adoption of automated deployment tools, many organizations are releasing code more frequently. As releases increase, it’s important to ensure that you don’t accidentally introduce faulty deployments, which can have wide-ranging impacts on your infrastructure, application, and end-user experience, and can potentially lead to costly rollbacks.

Revitalize Your Testing With Continuous Everything Practices to Meet DevOps Goals

Software testing has been an established discipline as old as software development itself. We have seen significant evolution of testing practices recently specially driven by Continuous Delivery and DevOps, where testing is increasingly integrated with agile development and other software lifecycle practices.

Observability overload: Insights into the rise of tools, data sources, and environments in use today

With countless observability tools, data sources, and environments to juggle, the organizations that deploy and manage today’s distributed applications often face an uphill battle to gain visibility into their application performance. That was a key takeaway from the Grafana Labs Observability Survey 2023, which incorporated input from more than 250 industry practitioners who are all too familiar with these complexities.
