System reliability is the probability that a system performs as it is expected to under a set of specified conditions throughout a specified period. Organizations use reliability engineering to help to make products more reliable in a cost-effective way. The key objectives of reliability engineering are to reduce the frequency of failures, identify the causes of failures and correct them, figure out ways of coping with failures when they do occur, and estimate the likely reliability of new designs.

A real-time system responds to events within a specified deadline. If the timing constraints of the system are unmet, failure has occurred. In the kernel context, real-time denotes a deterministic response to an external event, aiming to minimize the response time guarantee.

In this article, we will analyze some new features and the impact they might have on the Prometheus community. Here’s our editor’s pick.

Logging is essential to application development. Logs provide exhaustive, robust information that is useful for tracking all the changes made to an application's code. PHP logs help you track the performance of the method calls within your application, the occurrence of a particular event, and the errors in your application. With proper PHP logging techniques, you can track and optimize an application's performance.

For developers who’ve created their own instrumentation with the Java Agent plugin, the next phase of the process is regression testing. By performing regression testing, you can ensure that your plugin functions the way it’s supposed to after you’ve made code changes or updates. You’ll have your own plugin, but to illustrate regression testing in this article, I’ll use the plugin in our example repo.

Lead generation continues to be the number-one challenge facing MSPs today. Many of my blog posts to date, along with several of the boot camp sessions I have delivered so far, have been focused on this all-important topic. But what do you do when you get a bite and you now have a prospect that wants to meet with you? How do you structure this critical first meeting so that you can successfully navigate the prospect through the rest of the sales funnel to becoming a signed, closed deal at the end?

Still, there are lots of organizations that struggle in their daily operation. The reason is assets are not performing as per the expectation, or sudden asset failure occurs frequently. When assets are maintained, asset performance is optimized, and asset life is increased as well. Furthermore, it decreases sudden asset failure, so productivity increases. In the market, there are lots of options available which can help in asset maintenance. One of the options is CMMS software.
