The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
Three seconds is a very important number for website owners. They know that 50% of visitors will leave their website if it doesn’t load in that time. Website developers spend a lot of time optimizing and refactoring code so that it runs more quickly and provides a better user experience. User experience is something that monitoring only uptime won’t tell you. A website might be up, but if it takes 10 seconds to load, customers will bounce.
As part of our efforts to improve the security of Grafana, we introduced a long-awaited feature in the latest Grafana 9.3 release that enhances Grafana’s OAuth 2.0 compatibility. The new Grafana OAuth token improvements, which are available in Grafana OSS, Grafana Cloud, and Grafana Enterprise, ensure that the user is not only logged into Grafana, but they’re also authorized by the OAuth identity provider.
The mobile development ecosystem has always been very diverse, arguably more diverse than the web development ecosystem. While it seems like every day there are more frameworks and tools for web developers, a lot of them are built on top of JavaScript and implement similar patterns to each other. The mobile ecosystem, on the other hand, has a core set of languages that make the differences between mobile tools and frameworks much easier to identify.
SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. It is an Internet Standard protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behavior. Figure 1: How SNMP works SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems organized in a management information base (MIB), which describe the system status and configuration.
CI pipelines have become an integral part of the development workflow, helping teams automate the continuous building and testing of new updates to application code. The growing importance of CI pipelines has naturally led to a need for increased visibility into their performance. In 2021, Datadog introduced CI Visibility to deliver granular performance metrics for each individual pipeline, allowing you to monitor build duration and related telemetry across all recent commits.
Elastic Universal Profiling is based on technology that came into Elastic as part of the acquisition of optimyze.cloud — a startup that had developed Prodfiler.com, the world’s first frictionless fleet-wide in-production multi-runtime profiler that was launched in August 2021. In order to bring the vision of frictionless deployability, low performance overhead, “just run it everywhere” magic to the broader market, a number of technical innovations were necessary.
Observability is the ability to see and understand the internal state of a system from its external outputs. Logs, Metrics, and Traces, collectively called observability data, are external outputs widely considered to be three pillars of observability.
