Happy New Year! We want to kick off 2021 by announcing some improvements to DNS Check.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) 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. 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.

How do you define your workday? You walk into your office, grab a coffee, turn on your laptop and take a look at your central source of information – often dashboards – to glance at things happening overall, tasks assigned to you and sketch your schedule accordingly. A lot of our customers we talk to share a routine like this, and SquaredUp dashboards are often their one-stop-shop for consuming alerts/tasks that need their attention.

Does your IT department perform re-actively to problems as they occur or are they proactive, attempting to head off problems before they occur? Sadly, many IT departments are reactive because they lack the proper IT organization strategies to use technology and apps to become proactive. Taking a reactive approach is ineffective and affects productivity and the potential growth of your business.

Compared to other years, 2020 has been a lot different in every single aspect; from how we all interacted to how we operated, everything changed. It was the year where the adjective "unprecedented" was overused. As the world embraced remote work policies, the only thing that remained unchanged was the fact that we operated uninterrupted and our customer support kept churning out replies to customers’ questions. It was business as usual for us.

2020 might be a year many of us want to forget, but this year, we also unveiled a variety of new products and features worth remembering. For the Logz.io team, 2020 was a year full of innovation as we worked to continuously improve our product and complete our unified observability vision. We also launched a variety of new capabilities for Logz.io Log Management, Infrastructure Monitoring, Cloud SIEM, and Distributed Tracing, that make our product faster, smarter, and more cost-efficient.

Troubleshooting Network problems in a timely manner is extremely critical for maintaining network performance and delivering advanced network services within an organization. For network engineers and administrators, troubleshooting network bandwidth related issues can be achieved by taking advantage of existing flow technologies within the routers and switches. By using NetFlow, monitoring network traffic not only becomes much simpler but also provides broader visibility within the network.

2020 was a year we all will remember. The whole world got an experience like never before. At VirtualMetric we have always believed in a global team with no borders. This year almost every company joined us in the remote work approach. Despite the challenges we were surrounded by, our team had a productive year. We not only saved our entire crew but hired more talented people to our VirtualMetric family, which helped us to achieve our ambitious goals.
