Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

You can’t monitor, protect, or fix what you don’t know. That simple concept helps explain why IT inventory management is the cornerstone of effective IT and security ops. However, given the highly distributed and dynamic nature of modern networks, maintaining an up-to-date inventory can be challenging. Modern IT assets are everywhere, from corporate data centers to third-party clouds to coffee shops where remote workers stop for a snack.

The promise of observing your application without writing code (i.e., auto-instrumentation) is not new, and it’s extremely compelling: run a single command in your cluster and suddenly application telemetry starts arriving at your observability backend. What else could you ask for? The OpenTelemetry Operator aims to fulfill such a dream for Kubernetes environments by using a set of well known patterns such as operators and custom resources.

When IT operations run smoothly, it’s more likely everything else in the organization will as well. Unfortunately, tech sprawl can make IT environments more prone to issues that hinder end users or, worse, customers. Recent research shows that up to 50% of organizations juggle multiple tools for observability. Too many disparate tools to monitor too many systems and applications create siloes, slowing incident response and resolution times.

When debugging issues in production, context is everything. While Sentry already provides rich error data like stack traces, breadcrumbs, and user information, understanding the application state at the time of an error can still help reproduce, fix and ship quickly. Sentry’s Pinia integration solves this by automatically capturing Pinia state wherever errors occur. Now you get the complete picture of your Vue or Nuxt application's state at the moment things went wrong.

RabbitMQ is a powerful, reliable, and widely used message broker that forms the backbone of modern microservices architectures. However, ensuring its performance and reliability requires proactive monitoring of key metrics. In this blog, we will explore the essential RabbitMQ metrics, their units, possible issues, solutions, and how tools like Atatus can simplify monitoring and troubleshooting.

Kentik’s Doug Madory looks into this weekend’s 14-hour outage of popular video sharing service TikTok, which was slated to be banned from the US per recent legislation. While TikTok came back, it is notably no longer being served by parent company Bytedance’s US CDN. We delve into the traffic statistics in this blog post.

As technology advances at lightning speed, more and more businesses are turning to the cloud to boost growth, improve efficiency, and stay ahead of the competition. However creating a cloud strategy that matches your business goals, budget, and security needs can be tricky. It’s not just about switching to the cloud—it’s about using it wisely to get the most out of it.

When building modern.NET applications, logging is one of those things you don’t want to get wrong. Serilog steps in as a popular logging framework that has earned its spot as a go-to tool for developers. Why? Because it’s flexible, versatile, and does an awesome job of giving you clear insights into your app's behavior. But what exactly is Serilog?

When building robust, maintainable, and scalable Java applications, logging plays an essential role in debugging, monitoring, and ensuring smooth performance. Two of the most widely used logging frameworks in the Java ecosystem are SLF4J and Log4j. While both serve similar purposes, they offer different approaches and features, making it important to understand their differences before making a choice.
