The Java programming language is easy to use and often employed by web developers to develop applications. However, monitoring a Java-based application’s performance might become challenging as it’s not a straightforward process. Troubleshooting inefficiencies requires implementing several monitoring techniques to track Java logs, metrics, infrastructure data, and other operational aspects. The following sections list some…

With the rapid adoption of cloud and microservices architecture, it’s becoming challenging for under-resourced IT staff to monitor individual systems’ performance and behavior. Network admins typically rely on monitoring for better visibility into the application or system performance. However, visibility alone isn’t enough today; businesses need advanced observability to gain a better contextual understanding of…

Kubernetes is an open-source, portable, and extensible container management system designed to automate the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications and services. Its rapidly growing ecosystem, strong community support, and global availability have made Kubernetes the most popular container management system currently available. As it tends to have multiple components that include moving clusters…

Web app issues are inevitable and often time-sensitive. If not managed appropriately, web app issues can hamper customer experience and revenue generation. Sometimes, web apps may crash no matter how well you manage them, disrupting business transactions and the end-user experience. The key is to diagnose the crash’s root cause quickly and expedite remediation. In…

Routers are critical networking components that help segregate and manage business networks. Since routers handle a majority of the network traffic, router logs contain rich information pertaining to network activity. You can use this information to debug network issues, identify malicious activity, and remediate problems early on. What Information Do Router Logs Contain? Depending on…

Django is the most popular Python web application framework used by organizations to develop secure and scalable websites. It’s an open-source framework focused on the development of applications built using reusable code and components. Although the framework employs Python’s in-built logging facility to fulfill basic log monitoring needs, it’s important to implement logging best practices…

Docker containers have gained popularity over the years and are used to transfer software applications from production to live environment reliably. They provide an entire runtime environment setup for applications, including libraries, dependencies, and configuration files, to ensure faster deployment of applications across multiple systems. Docker containers offer: Flexibility to work on bare metal servers…

Java Garbage Collector (GC) logs are used for memory management and object allocation and promotion. GC logs consist of critical information such as the duration of the GC process, the number of objects promoted, and more. It includes details of the entire GC process and the resources it uses. Teams analyze these logs to detect issues and improve the overall performance of JVM applications.

It can be messy—and oftentimes overwhelming—when your log prints piles of errors or warnings. As you execute programs with front-end languages like JavaScript, your web console keeps log entries. You can access log entries from your web console with browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.

With its growing popularity, Docker has become synonymous with container technology. It’s an open-source platform used for building, packaging, and deploying modern containerized applications. Docker is scalable and supports automated container creation and deployment while reducing the storage overhead and increasing operational flexibility. Since Docker encapsulates applications in isolated multilayered containers, it’s imperative to monitor and manage every layer to prevent bottlenecks, optimize resource allocation, and ensure the system is performing well at every layer.
