Sleuth is pleased to announce a new set of features that enable our customers to measure, compare, and drive efficiency improvements on a per-team basis!

We’re constantly looking for new ways to help DevOps, SREs, and operations teams automate operations workflows, secure infrastructure and applications, and rapidly deliver their products at scale. This commitment to our customers — and yours! — led us to redesign the way you experience groups in xMatters.

Our July update ships a very powerful new feature – remote actions. Remote actions are available for execution – once configured – in the SIGNL4 mobile app and allow you to quickly perform remediation actions without having to fire up a notebook and VPN or without using a desktop PC. So, genuine anywhere remediation comes true. As always, you can find all the details in this blog article.

The Splunk Threat Research Team (STRT) has continued focusing development on the Splunk Attack Range project and is thrilled to announce its v2.0 release with a host of new features. Since the v1.0 release 6 months ago the team has been focused on developments to make the attack range a more fully-featured development testbed out of the box. This blog post will share these additions as well as some of the project’s future directions.

The entire team at Grafana Labs is thrilled to bring the community our latest and greatest release, Grafana 9, which we introduced at GrafanaCONline this year. In addition to introducing the Grafana Loki query builder, a new command palette, and making role-based access control GA, we also rolled out major updates to the navigation and search functionality in Grafana with the aim of continuing to support the community and users throughout their observability journey.

At incident.io, we’re continually building out our integrations to work with all the tools you already know and love. Next on the list, is our first bug tracker, Sentry. Try posting a Sentry link on your next incident to check it out.

Nobody likes using an unstable mobile app or even worse, an app that crashes on them. In fact, 9 out of 10 US and UK consumers report uninstalling a mobile application due to poor performance. Crash rates and snappy experiences matter for all applications, but especially for mobile apps. Mobile app crashes and poor performance not only cause users to abandon an app but can also trigger the app to be ranked lower in Apple App Store and Google Play Store search results.

Have you struggled to quantify the uptime performance of a complex system? With many interrelated parts, it can be easy to tell which pieces are down, but a tougher challenge to view them in the context of those systems. When you’re responding to a major outage, the data on your system’s uptime is just as critical as its components.

Grafana 9 launched at GrafanaCONline 2022 in June, and one of the biggest highlights was the introduction of the new Grafana Loki and Prometheus query builders. 🎉 We believe that both of them are going to be incredibly useful for our Prometheus and Grafana Loki users. In this blog post, we will focus on the Grafana Loki query builder and share its new features and improvements with you.

Nate Lee here, and I’m one of the founders of Speedscale. The founding team’s worked at several observability and testing companies like New Relic, Observe Inc, and iTKO over the last decade. Speedscale traffic replay was borne out of a frustration from reacting to problems (even if they were minor) that could have been prevented with better testing.
