Surviving Cardinality Hell: A Battle-Tested Guide to Infrastructure Monitoring in 2025

Stop drowning in alerts. A senior architect's guide to scaling Prometheus, taming high-cardinality metrics, and why underlying NVMe storage is the unsung hero of observability.

The Silence Before the Crash: High-Fidelity Infrastructure Monitoring

Green status lights lie. Learn how to architect a Prometheus stack that detects 'silent failures' and why predictable I/O on CoolVDS is the only way to avoid false positives in 2025.

Silence the Noise: Architecting High-Fidelity Infrastructure Monitoring in 2024

Move beyond basic ping checks. A battle-hardened guide to implementing Prometheus and Grafana on high-performance NVMe VPS infrastructure, specifically tailored for Norwegian data compliance and low-latency environments.

Stop Guessing: A Battle-Hardened Guide to Self-Hosted APM on VPS

htop is lying to you. Learn how to deploy a production-grade Prometheus and Grafana stack to monitor latency, track GDPR-compliant logs in Norway, and diagnose bottlenecks before your users do.

Silence the Noise: Architecting Scalable Infrastructure Monitoring in 2024

Stop waking up at 3 AM for false positives. A battle-hardened guide to implementing Prometheus, Grafana, and AlertManager on high-performance Nordic infrastructure without breaking the bank.

Scaling Infrastructure Monitoring in 2014: Surviving the Transition from Nagios to Distributed Zabbix

Is your monitoring system generating more false positives than actual alerts? We dive deep into tuning Zabbix 2.2, optimizing MySQL I/O, and leveraging KVM isolation to build a surveillance architecture that actually works.

Stop Guessing: A Sysadmin’s Guide to Application Performance Monitoring on Linux (2014 Edition)

Is your application hanging during peak traffic? Stop blaming the code blindly. We dig into iostat, strace, and PHP-FPM logs to find the real bottlenecks in your stack.

Stop Guessing: A Sysadmin's Guide to Application Performance Monitoring in 2014

Move beyond basic uptime checks. Learn how to diagnose high load, debug PHP-FPM bottlenecks, and why I/O wait on cheap VPS providers is killing your latency.

Stop Blaming the Code: A Sysadmin’s Guide to Bottleneck Hunting in 2013

Your application isn't slow because of PHP—it's slow because your I/O is choking. Learn how to use strace, iostat, and Nginx stub_status to prove it, and why SSD-backed KVM is the only viable path forward.

The Silent Performance Killer: Deep Dive into APM and Linux I/O Profiling

Stop rebooting and start diagnosing. A battle-hardened guide to debugging application latency using strace, vmstat, and log analysis on the Linux command line.

Stop Relying on Ping: Moving From "Status Green" to Deep Instrumentation in 2013

Why your Nagios dashboard is lying to you about performance. A deep dive into transitioning from binary monitoring to time-series metrics with Graphite, Collectd, and proper KVM isolation.

Stop Grepping Logs: A SysAdmin's Guide to Real Application Performance Monitoring

Load average is a vanity metric. In this deep dive, we explore how to actually debug latency in 2013 using iostat, MySQL slow logs, and proper Nginx profiling on high-performance SSD infrastructure.
