Networks are growing more complex by the day and to monitor them effectively, organizations need to invest in technical know-how, expensive tools, and costly operations. To avoid the overheads of cost, effort, and time, and to ensure constant availability of networks, more and more organizations are turning to managed service providers (MSPs) to manage their network. In fact, the global market for MSPs has been steadily growing and is expected to cross $300 million in the next few years.

Keep track of various tasks and services of containers running within ECS instances.

With the newly added Cloud Services feature, you can define and monitor critical cloud services running in your network.

Last year, while we were coming up to the date of launching the new Monitive, I wanted a new homepage to go in harmony with the new service. As we were focusing 100% on finalizing the service, there were few resources for the actual website. I only knew the following: So after about a week of research and brainstorming, we decided to go with Hugo static site generator, the Jumpstart theme by MediumRare and just a single landing homepage and the legal pages (privacy policy and terms of use).

Logging is tricky. You want logs to include enough detail to be useful, but not so much that you're drowning in noise - or violating regulations like GDPR. In this article, Diogo Souza introduces us to Ruby's logging system and the LogRage gem. He shows us how to create custom logs, output the logs in formats like JSON, and reduce the verbosity of default Rails logs.

Connecting Microsoft SCOM and ServiceNow is a no-brainer! If you want to synchronize your alerts with your incidents, view issues in real-time, and generally make your life easier then why wouldn’t you! But, we know not everyone is tech-savvy enough to develop these solutions themselves, so we’ve written this blog to give you a helping hand. So, if you want to give it a go and build your own integration tool, then here’s how to get started.

The vulnerability called SIGRed (CVE-2020-1350) has been around for 17 years, during which time it was present in Windows Server operating systems from version 2003 through 2019 and received a maximum severity rating of 10. It was finally patched in July 2020. As the vulnerability allows an attacker to perform remote code execution on Windows Server via DNS, it poses an extremely serious danger and can propagate over the network without user interaction.

A couple months ago, during our Grafana hack days, I created my first monitoring solution: my sourdough monitoring system. It was a lot of fun to build it, and I enjoyed it a lot! So when the next Grafana hack day was approaching, I started to wonder what my next monitoring system could be. What would I like to learn more about? What would I like to get better at doing? To be honest, I didn’t have to think hard.
