Guides to monitoring cloud infrastructure, applications and security signals. Explore collection approaches and ways to investigate the health of cloud-hosted services.
network monitoring
The application is unavailable, customers are opening support tickets, and the infrastructure dashboard is still green. The on-call engineer can see healthy servers, but can't tell whether the failure sits in DNS, a regional network path, a cloud dependency, or the application itself. Another dashboard won't
server monitoring
A cloud system rarely fails in a dramatic, obvious way. More often, an engineer gets a 3 AM alert that says something vague like "latency high" or "service unavailable," opens three dashboards, and still can't tell whether the problem is CPU pressure, a noisy
devops security
Cloud security monitoring has stopped being a logging problem. It's now a signal, architecture, and cost problem. Organizations saw an average 388% increase in daily cloud-based alerts during 2024 compared to the start of the year, and 66% of security leaders lack confidence in their ability to detect
devops security
An AWS environment usually reaches the same breaking point in stages. First, the team enables CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, a few CloudWatch alarms, maybe AWS Config. Then the alerts start arriving from different consoles, different accounts, and different formats. After that, incident review turns into log archaeology. That's
uptime monitoring
A familiar incident starts the search for better AWS site monitoring. CloudWatch graphs look normal, instance health is passing, and load balancers are routing traffic. Meanwhile, customers report failed logins, broken checkout steps, or a site that won't load from specific regions. That gap is why many teams
server monitoring
A lot of teams are in the same spot right now. Alerts exist, dashboards exist, and someone still learns about an outage from a customer ticket, a sales rep, or a founder staring at a broken login page. The problem usually isn't a total lack of monitoring. It&
