The Observability and APM markets have existed for a long time and have undergone periodic reinventions driven by changes in the technology stack and how customers build, deploy and run applications in production. Such a...
Read MoreObservability requires comprehensive collection of code profiles, metrics, logs, traces and dependencies. APM vendors have a lot of work to do.
Read MoreAt its Perform 2023 conference Dynatrace made seven new product announcements, anchored by the inclusion of logs, metrics, traces, topology, changes and security data into Grail. The Product Line Refresh Enabled by Dynatrace...
Read MoreThe nature of the cloud and the nature of the applications that enterprises are choosing to run in the cloud require that Observability solutions be used to make sure that these applications are delivering the appropriate levels...
Read MoreIBM has acquired Turbonomic. This combined with the previous acquisitions of Instana and Red Hat creates a powerful infrastructure software offering.
Read MoreAs the IT environment, and especially as applications evolve, the way in which they need to be monitored must evolve was well. Sometimes these changes in how things need to be monitored are not evolutions, but are in fact...
Read MoreThere are many vendors of and approaches to implementing Observability. Before we go through them all, however we first need to ask, what is Observability really (what distinguishes it from monitoring), and who needs...
Read MoreOne of the core developers of ISTIO (the Service Mesh designed to make deploying and operating microservices easier in production) has made a compelling case that ISTIO itself is an example of an application is is better off...
Read MoreInstana has announced the acquisition of BeeInstant (a real-time metrics analysis platform), StackImpact (a production polyglot application code profiler), and Signify a future solution to provide insight into complex system...
Read MoreADDM, the CMDB, ITIL and Event Management have become legacy technologies at the hands of dynamic applications, Agile, DevOps, CI/CD and Kubernetes.
Read MoreObservability should mean that we have the data – the logs, metrics, traces, flows and dependencies to understand the behavior of the application system of interest. Unfortunately there is no one source of all of this data for each application which is where things get complicated.
Read MoreGaps in Observability exist with applications, networks and the public clouds. Therefore true full stack Observability is currently impossible.
