The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
In my previous articles, I discussed how to design considerations for observability solutions and how observability can augment your security implementation. In this article, I will discuss how an observability solution can provide valuable insights into your business operations through the collected data from various systems, applications, and services.
InfluxDB Cloud 3.0 is a versatile time series database built on top of the Apache ecosystem. You can query InfluxDB Cloud with the Apache Arrow Flight SQL interface, which provides SQL support for working with time series data. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of querying InfluxDB Cloud with Flight SQL, using C++. The C++ Flight SQL Client is part of Apache Arrow Flight, a framework for building high-performance data services.
People seem to struggle with the idea that there are no repeat incidents. It is very easy and natural to see two distinct outages, with nearly identical failure modes, impacting the same components, and with no significant action items as repeat incidents. However, when we look at the responses and their variations, we can find key distinctions that shows the incidents as related, but not identical.
Graphite is used by many organizations to track and visualize various metrics that their applications or servers send out. But what happens if there are too many of these metrics or the company doesn't want to use its human resources to monitor the behaviour of metrics constantly? In this article, we will use Hosted Graphite by MetricFire to learn about Graphite's ability to notify users about the abnormal behaviour of services or infrastructure in a timely manner.
As your Kubernetes infrastructure — and your business — grows, so too does the headache of managing your stack. And since controlling costs is crucial for your organization’s well-being, you need visibility into your complex system to ensure you’re spending your money wisely. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Kubernetes cost monitoring as a new feature in Grafana Cloud.
We’re excited to introduce a dedicated Grafana Cloud integration for Apache CouchDB, a NoSQL document database that stores data in a JSON-based document format. Known for its scalability, availability, and easy replication of data across multiple servers, Apache CouchDB comes with a whole host of features designed to make it easy to run resilient distributed systems, with built-in bi-direcitonal replication allowing for simple replication across multiple servers and data centers.
