This blog series explores how Zabbix and Nagios users can leverage the SRE Golden Signals for effective application monitoring. It focuses on the importance of monitoring for maintaining high availability and introduces the concept of SRE Golden Signals.

SRE Golden Signals: These are four core metrics (Latency, Traffic, Errors, Saturation) that provide a foundational understanding of a system's health.

The blog delves into Latency, explaining how to measure it from different perspectives (client vs server) and the importance of differentiating between successful and failed request latencies. It highlights how Zabbix and Nagios can be configured to address these aspects.

The summary mentions that future parts will explore the remaining Golden Signals (Traffic, Errors, Saturation) and even delve into strategies for incorporating additional metrics for more in-depth monitoring.

When running multi-tenant applications spanning hundreds of clusters and databases, it’s not uncommon to build extensive maintenance pipelines, monitoring, and on-call rotations to achieve database reliability. Many things can break, starting with bugs, inefficient queries written by developers, or inefficient configuration and indexing. Do you worry about your databases? You’re doing it wrong. Read on to see how to stop worrying and still have continuous database reliability.

As businesses navigate an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape, staying ahead of emerging threats is paramount. In light of recent advisories from VMware urging users to uninstall the deprecated Enhanced Authentication Plugin (EAP) due to critical security vulnerabilities, it's crucial for o..

This blog post explores three main types of monitoring systems used to monitor IT infrastructure: uptime monitoring, heartbeat monitoring, and synthetic monitoring.

Uptime monitoring tracks the availability of systems and alerts you when there's downtime.

Heartbeat monitoring provides real-time health checks on devices and ensures critical systems are operational.

Synthetic monitoring proactively simulates user interactions to identify performance issues before they impact real users.

The choice of monitoring system depends on your specific needs. Uptime monitoring is good for basic services, while synthetic monitoring is ideal for complex applications. Often, a combination of these methods is used for a comprehensive monitoring strategy.

The blog also mentions popular monitoring tools like New Relic vs Datadog vs Sentry for further exploration.

This blog post discusses methods to make on-call rotations less stressful for teams. It highlights the importance of clear procedures, shared responsibility, and proactive measures to reduce incident resolution time.

Key takeaways include:

Defined processes and communication: A well-defined framework, pre-holiday checklists, and clear communication around on-call expectations are crucial for reducing stress.

Fair on-call schedules: Distribute the workload among a larger team to avoid burnout, and utilize vacation modes to ensure coverage during absences.

Stable deployments: Minimize disruptions by avoiding deployments during weekends and holidays, and have rollback procedures in place.

Context-rich incidents: Add clear tags, severities, and relevant information to incidents to aid faster resolution.

Proactive incident management: Analyze trends and use SLOs and error budgets to predict and prevent potential issues.

Resolution plans: Develop playbooks or a knowledge base to guide on-call personnel through troubleshooting and resolution steps.

Incident management tools: Utilize tools like Squadcast Actions and runbooks to automate actions and expedite resolution.

By implementing these practices, companies can foster a healthier on-call environment and improve overall incident management.
