The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
Last week we released Telegraf 1.18 with a range of new plugins including Elastic Beats, directory monitoring, NFS, XML parsing and some aggregators and processors to help with your data ingestion. All of these packages were written in Go 1.16.2. This was one of our largest releases in a while and couldn’t have been done without the 70+ Telegraf community members who contributed to writing plugins, fixing bugs, reviewing code, and everything else to improve Telegraf!
From 1st May 2021, Google will start judging your website based on a new set of performance metrics called Core Web Vitals. This initiative is focused around user experience and will become part of Google’s ranking algorithm. Failing them is bad, getting them right is a huge opportunity. Only 23% of businesses currently pass these tests consistently, so organic SEO will be negatively impacted for the large majority of companies.
Monitoring wireless access points is business-critical, allowing teams to facilitate day-to-day workflows. These wireless access points (APs or WAPs) provide strong Wi-Fi signals and transmission ranges for sending and receiving valued information. But wireless access points are susceptible to cyberattacks that jeopardize your revenue and reputation.
What if I told you that monitoring network traffic is a lot less daunting than it actually seems? I think I have your attention. As a network has various moving parts, understanding it all can be a serious challenge. If something breaks or a component stops working correctly, implementing a quick troubleshooting process is essential. If you can't fix the issue right away, this could be detrimental for your end users, leading to more severe complications.
It's often said that your network is the "backbone" of your IT infrastructure, underlying every other part of your enterprise IT. If your Cisco network infrastructure goes down or is experiencing performance issues, it's crucial that you have a real-time solution to identify and resolve the problem as soon as possible. But what does such a solution look like when it comes to Cisco networks?
In today’s post, we’ll dive into how we, at AppSignal, solved a daunting engineering challenge. Giving you a look into the kitchen, this post will show you how we tested a new database in production without having to worry about errors/downtime. Alright, let’s get cooking!
As part of my job as a Senior Solutions Engineer here at Grafana Labs, I tend to pretty easily find ways out of technical troubles. However, I was recently having some Wi-Fi issues at home and needed to do some troubleshooting. My experience changed my whole opinion on logs, and I wanted to share my story in hopes that I could open up some other people’s eyes as well. (I originally posted a version of this story on my personal blog in January.) First, some background info.
