The popular chromium based browser ecosystem has recently changed how performance metrics can be collected in relation to performance.timing. Before we get into the details, the TLDR is: if you use the Raygun CDN for raygun4js, you’re up to date. If you self-host raygun4js and use Raygun Real User Monitoring, you’ll want to upgrade to version 2.27.0.

The team at SigNoz would like to share recent developments released this month that greatly enhance the ability to dynamically query your trace and log data. With these tools anyone can explore complex OpenTelemetry data and gain insight into their stack.

Observability has traditionally been conceptualized in terms of three core facets: logs, metrics, and traces.

We've upgraded the Team catalog experience with the same level of dimensionality as the Services, Resources, and Domains Catalogs. Now users can add more information about teams like relevant custom data, links, and integrations, and drill down into aggregate team activities and performance.

Business-critical infrastructure and services generate massive volumes of observability data from many disparate sources. It can be challenging to synthesize all this data to gain actionable insights for detecting and remediating issues—particularly in the heat of incident response.

Get excited about Grafana Tempo 2.2! Not only is this release on time, but it is also chock full of TraceQL features and performance improvements. I was honestly a little shocked by how much we have accomplished in the last three months when summarizing the changelog.
