The SDLC: phases, popular models, benefits & more

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) describes the process we follow to deliver software to customers. It captures each step of creating software, from ideation to delivery and eventually to maintenance. In this post, we've broken down everything you need to understand the SDLC.

OpenTelemetry Fleet Management: Scalable Control

OpenTelemetry has turned observability pipelines into production infrastructure, but managing them at scale often creates a massive operational burden. In this demo, we show how Coralogix Fleet Management acts as the central control plane for your OTel ecosystem, providing the governance and orchestration required for modern DevOps. Stop the "manual marathon" of PRs and Helm upgrades. Move toward a safer, more predictable operating model where telemetry is consistent, audited, and scalable.

Security Integrations in Observability Self-Hosted

Integrating security data with observability data provides a comprehensive view for better threat detection and response. Security observability helps connect the dots between seemingly innocent events that, when correlated, reveal complex attack patterns. SolarWinds security products integrate into observability self-hosted, including Security Event Manager for log data and event correlation, Access Rights Management for identifying potential attack vectors, configuration management for compliance monitoring, and Patch Manager for tracking critical updates.

Monitor CAA Records with DNS Check

DNS Check now supports monitoring CAA records. A CAA record (Certification Authority Authorization record) tells public certificate authorities (CAs) which of them, if any, are allowed to issue TLS/SSL certificates for your domain. Public CAs have been required to honor these records since 2017, so CAA records act as an access control list for certificate issuance.

Dashboard Playlists: Cycle Through Dashboards in TV Mode

When we shipped TV mode, we heard almost immediately: “Great, but I have five dashboards and one screen.” A single dashboard on a wall display covers one view of your infrastructure. If you want to rotate between your network overview, database health, application metrics, and infrastructure summary, someone has to walk over and click, or you’re buying more screens. Dashboard playlists solve this.

What is the Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR)? Why It Matters and How to Resolve

How quickly can you restore service when an incident hits your system? Most IT teams are not slowed down by detecting incidents. The challenge starts after something breaks, when the goal is to bring services back online as quickly as possible. Modern systems are highly distributed. Alerts arrive from multiple tools, dependencies are complex, and it is often difficult to immediately understand what actually failed.
