The number of applications and services increases every day as more application architectures move towards microservices or serverless structures. You can process this increasing amount of time series data with real-time aggregation or with a calculation whose output is a measurement or a metric. These metrics need to be monitored so that you can solve issues and make relevant changes in your system quickly. A change in a system can be captured and observed in many ways.

SquaredUp Cloud has been in development for over two years (we first previewed it at SquaredUp Live, Spring 2021). It continues our mission to unlock and summarize data – think of it like “BI for engineering”. In building SquaredUp Cloud, we drew upon what we’ve learned with our Microsoft solutions over the last ten years, and built a solution independent of any one tool, like SCOM.

Operating a modern web application requires having a good handle on what’s going on with your application’s log data. But this doesn’t mean you need to keep the logs pulled up all the time. Sometimes, you want the flexibility to send important logged events to any number of places. The integration of SolarWinds® Papertrail™ and AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS) can help you make this happen.

When was the last time you had to ask someone to repeat something during an MS Teams call, or had to restart the app, just because the call quality dropped? Sounds familiar? Frustrating, isn’t it? Now imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of employees feeling this frustration at work. Think of the time lost for them, for the organization, and—more importantly—for those who’ll need to fix it. As EUC professionals, we cannot let that happen.

The demand for continuous innovation and faster delivery requires a fresh approach to monitoring modern apps and APIs. As development environments grow increasingly dynamic and complex, monitoring performance through a platform that is fully programmable, handles app and API-testing, is optimized for developers, and integrates with existing tools and workflows becomes increasingly critical.

Every article you find about reducing Azure cost will invariably mention ensuring any unused (especially PAYG) resources are identified and shut down/deleted. However very few actually will tell you “HOW” to do this. eG Enterprise has added new functionality to enable you to identify unused, wasted and orphaned Azure resources and services without the need to resort to hacking up KQL queries or PowerShell scripts.

The Grafana Agent team is excited to announce Grafana Agent Flow, our newest experimental feature in today’s Grafana Agent v0.28.0 release. Flow is an easier and more powerful way to configure, run, and debug the Grafana Agent! 🎉

No matter what we do, we’ll always be surrounded by choices. Do I save money and take the bus, or do I spend money filling up my gas tank? Do I make dinner at home, or do I eat dinner out? Whatever the outcome, it’s our needs – what we require and what we can afford – that help guide us to where we should go. Technology is no exception. Especially in AIOps.
