Centralized Logging for Docker – Configuration and Troubleshooting
Container logging adds some complexities we don’t experience when using VMs or dedicated hardware. With containers, once the container dies, the logs and data for the container also die. This may not be a problem for small applications with little logging. But for more complex applications or applications running in production, you need to start thinking about log persistence and management. Learn more from Sylvia Fronczak on Solarwinds’ blog.
Event Log Monitoring and Management: Best Practices
When you’re logging, you might come across different types of log data: database logs, network logs, API logs, front-end app logs, and security logs. However, not every developer uses logging the same way. Some developers are verbose and try to log every action in their code, and others log only a single action per component. But what’s best? This article takes a look at six best practices for event log monitoring, aggregation, and management. Check it out in this post from Michiel Mulders on Solarwinds’ blog.
End-User Monitoring: Best Practices and Tools
Poor application performance, besides being a sign of potential problems, is a strong predictor of unhappy users—and unhappy users are likely to become former customers. So software organizations are always searching for ways to improve the performance of their applications. One of the most effective of such ways to improve performance is obtaining visibility of your app’s behavior—which is something that can be achieved through monitoring. This post is about a specific type of monitoring: end-user monitoring. Learn more from Carlos Schults on Solarwinds’ blog.
Monitoring Kafka – Key Metrics and Tools
Apache Kafka is a publish/subscribe messaging platform that helps us stream data into servers. To get a better grasp of this definition, let’s break it down a bit. Streaming is the process of publishing data from sources like web logs and sensor data into a cluster of servers. We can process this data as it’s coming into the cluster in real time. As distributed systems like Kafka are becoming more prevalent, with thousands of companies using them, the need for advanced monitoring is increasing. In this post, we’ll learn what Apache Kafka is, why it’s important to monitor it, and what tools are best for the task. Get filled in by Alex Doukas on Solarwinds’ blog.

Puppeteer Screenshots: A Comprehensive How-To
We also updated two posts this week, like this one on puppeteer screenshots. Have you ever tried to interact with the web using apps like cURL or some programming language with its HTTP Client Library? If so, you have undoubtedly run into struggles with HTTP headers, authentication, cookies, specific application layer requirements, or a seemingly simple task like taking a screenshot. Puppeteer screenshot is one of the tools that Puppeteer offers to take and save screenshots of a page. Find out more about it on Testim’s blog.
Log Parser Tutorial: Learn To Parse Many Input Formats
Finally, we updated a post on logs. Logs come in a variety of formats and are stored in multiple different locations. Getting insights from all of these logs isn’t a trivial task. Microsoft Log Parser is a tool that helps us extract such information easily, using a SQL-like syntax. It supports many different input and output formats. But it also has some limitations because of its age. Find out more on Scalyr’s blog.
