We’ve added a new feature we think you’ll want to hear about—Single Sign-on. Uptrends is now compatible with Single Sign-on. Single Sign-on (SSO) is a great way to easily manage user accounts, improve productivity, and improve security, and now you can use SSO with Uptrends.
In part one of the OpenTracing blog series we provided a good OpenTracing overview, explaining what OpenTracing is and does, how it works and what it aims to achieve. One of the key aspects of OpenTracing is that it is vendor neutral, and also that OpenTracing is just a specification.

Today, we released version 2.0 of the Skylight Agent. 2.0 doesn't introduce any new APIs, but we did rewrite the SQL Lexer to support more varieties of queries. We also spent a lot of time on internal refactoring and improved our error logging.

You’ll find that just about every single page is now responsive.
Today we are releasing a new support version of Icinga 2.8, a small one to pass the time until 2.9. This release includes fixes for the InfluxDB and Elasticsearch features. Please note that Elasticsearch 6 support is coming with 2.9. In addition to the fixes we’ve added support for multiple check parameters for the check_nscp_api plugin and working sysconfig/defaults variables support, you’ll also find many documentation updates.
We are happy to announce a new bugfix release for Icinga Web 2. Official packages are available on packages.icinga.com. Community repositories might need a while to catch up.
AppEnsure delivers Dynamic Demand Profiling to continuously optimize the Digital Experience. It is a common but unfortunate challenge for IT Ops and App Delivery teams; complaints of long delays and lack of availability of mission critical apps are reported (if you are lucky), but it is very tough in a virtualized, distributed IT deployment to discover the root cause and resolution.
