Managing Docker container logs is essential for debugging and monitoring application performance. Tailoring Docker logs allows for real-time insights, quick issue resolution, and optimized performance. This guide focuses on efficient methods for tailing Docker logs, with clear examples and command options to streamline log management.

Decreasing response time is one of the key measures towards improving the user experience of an application. Caching techniques and other practices can help your.NET application perform well with low effort. With caching, you can keep frequently accessed delay-prone data in a fast, accessible location. This can improve your application's performance remarkably without making a big effort. In this post, I'll introduce a few different ways of implementing caching in ASP.NET Core.

APIs are the hidden heroes of our digital world. They are invisible to many customer experiences. As a result, it can be difficult to think of monitoring or testing them with a customer-focused lens. In this blog post, we hope to remove this difficulty and shine a light on the different ways Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) can approach various API testing use cases with an eye on ensuring reliable, resilient experiences.

As more and more applications are delivered daily, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for teams to onboard and manage them manually. To keep up with this demand, many teams are embracing automation in application delivery and management, with Kubernetes being a popular tool of choice. While Kubernetes’ scalability helps manage application infrastructure sprawl, there is still a need to collect data from the applications directly and from Kubernetes to monitor the growing beast itself!

With over 8 billion smartphones in use, predominantly running Android, how do you efficiently manage and analyze the flood of real-time data generated by apps, games, and other services? Whether it’s tracking user interactions, monitoring health metrics, or managing IoT devices, handling this data can be overwhelming.

September 10, 2024 - Amsterdam, Netherlands — Opslogix, a leader in IT operations management solutions, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Grafana Labs, the creators of the open and composable observability platform built around the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, and Mimir).

The latest notable attack discovered on 2nd September 2024, occurred on the Cisco merchandise website. We explore the intricacies of the Cisco Magecart attack and what we know so far.

Observability has become essential for efficient system management, and OpenTelemetry is leading the way in this field. The OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib is an important tool for gathering telemetry data, providing developers and IT professionals with a flexible and powerful way to manage observability. We want to help you learn how to set up the OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib. We'll point out common issues and offer effective troubleshooting strategies.

If you’re looking to simplify user access and permissions in your Grafana instance, then this blog post is for you.That’s because we’re going to walk through how to set up a streamlined system for managing user permissions with Grafana teams. We’ll focus on Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) as our user repository and identity provider, but these steps can be adapted to other identity providers as well, including Okta and Keycloak.

Exciting news: it’s now possible to build a custom distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector and remotely manage it with BindPlane. Though not all of BindPlane’s capabilities are available when managing a custom distribution (yet), it’s #prettycool, as it cracks open the door for teams looking to BYOF (bring your fleet), and manage them with our OTel-native telemetry pipeline.
