In 2017, seeing 'OK' on Nagios isn't enough. Discover why high-performance DevOps teams in Norway are shifting from passive monitoring to active observability using ELK, Prometheus, and KVM-backed infrastructure.
It is May 2017. Your Nagios dashboard says everything is fine, but customers are screaming on Twitter. Here is why traditional monitoring is dead, and how to build an observability stack on Norwegian infrastructure.
Nagios says the server is up. Your customers say the site is broken. In this deep dive, we explore the emerging shift from basic monitoring to deep system observability using ELK and Prometheus, specifically tailored for the Norwegian hosting landscape in 2017.
Stop relying on passive checks. In 2017, 'up' is not enough. We implement active metrics scraping with Prometheus and Grafana on Ubuntu 16.04 to visualize real bottlenecks.
Why your '100% Uptime' status page is a lie, and how to use the ELK Stack and Prometheus to actually see what your servers are doing. A guide for Norwegian DevOps professionals in 2017.
Alert fatigue and steal time are silent killers. We explore how to build a robust Prometheus & Grafana stack on CentOS 7 to catch what simple ping checks miss, specifically tailored for the Norwegian hosting landscape.
Stop relying on passive Nagios checks. Learn how to implement active metric collection using Prometheus 1.0 and Grafana 4.0 to detect bottlenecks before your Norway VPS crashes.
Is your application slow or is your VPS provider stealing cycles? In 2016, 'it feels fast' isn't a metric. We break down how to use the ELK stack, sysstat, and Nginx metrics to expose bottlenecks before Black Friday hits.
Is your application slow because of bad code or bad hardware? Learn how to identify bottlenecks using Linux tools, configure Nginx logging for latency data, and why the death of Safe Harbor makes Norwegian hosting critical today.
Your server responds to ping, but your customers are seeing timeouts. This 2016 guide moves beyond simple 'up/down' monitoring into deep metric aggregation using ELK and StatsD, ensuring your infrastructure is actually performing, not just existing.
It is August 2016, and the old way of monitoring servers is dead. 'Is it up?' is the wrong question. We dive into the shift towards whitebox monitoring, ELK stacks, and Prometheus 1.0 to debug the 'unknown unknowns' on your VPS.
Stop blaming the network. Learn how to diagnose high load, interpret 'steal time', and visualize application latency using native Linux tools and the ELK stack.
Why your Zabbix or Graphite instance is choking on disk writes, and how to architect a high-availability monitoring stack using NVMe storage and proper database tuning in a post-Safe Harbor Europe.
Nagios says your server is up, but your customers are seeing 504s. In the era of microservices, simple ping checks are obsolete. Here is how to implement white-box monitoring and aggregated logging using the ELK stack on high-performance KVM instances.
Ping is not monitoring. In this deep dive, we architect a fault-tolerant monitoring solution using Zabbix 3.0, Grafana, and the ELK stack to visualize infrastructure health on Ubuntu 16.04. Learn to detect CPU steal and latency spikes before your Norwegian users even notice.
It is June 2016. Microservices are rising, but your Nagios checks are stuck in 2010. Learn why traditional monitoring fails to catch latency spikes and how to build true observability using ELK and StatsD on high-performance infrastructure.
Stop relying on basic ping checks. Learn to architect a scalable monitoring stack using Zabbix 3.0 and ELK on CentOS 7 to visualize real-time I/O bottlenecks and keep your data within Norwegian borders.
Stop relying on 'it feels slow' complaints. Learn how to architect a modern monitoring stack using ELK and Grafana to visualize latency, debug I/O bottlenecks, and secure data within Norwegian borders.
Relational databases choke on time-series data. Discover how to architect a high-throughput monitoring stack using InfluxDB on Ubuntu 16.04, why NVMe storage is non-negotiable for ingestion, and how to keep your data compliant within Norwegian borders.
Is your monitoring system actually monitoring, or just pretending? We dismantle legacy Nagios setups and build a high-scale, I/O-intensive monitoring stack using Zabbix 3.0 and Grafana on pure NVMe storage.
Nagios alerts might wake you up, but they won't fix your code. In the era of Docker and microservices, we explore the shift from binary monitoring to deep system observability using ELK, Prometheus, and high-performance infrastructure.
Downtime is a choice. Learn how to monitor CPU steal, debug disk latency with iostat, and configure Zabbix 3.0 to catch failures before your Norwegian customers notice.
Is your server 'up' but your checkout broken? We dissect the critical difference between basic monitoring and deep system instrumentation, referencing the ELK stack, Graphite, and why infrastructure choices like KVM matter for data integrity in a post-Safe Harbor world.
Uptime is a vanity metric. If your latency is high, you're down. We dive deep into monitoring I/O wait, handling the post-Safe Harbor data landscape, and why raw KVM performance beats containerized noise.
Stop waking up at 3 AM for false positives. A battle-tested guide to architecting a monitoring stack that handles massive throughput using Zabbix, Logstash, and high-IOPS NVMe storage.
Is your application slow or is the server dying? In the wake of the Safe Harbor collapse, hosting data in Norway is crucial, but performance is non-negotiable. We dive into the ELK stack, New Relic, and system-level debugging to identify bottlenecks before your users do.
Legacy monitoring tools like Nagios can't keep up with dynamic scaling. We dismantle the implementation of Datadog on CentOS 7, covering Nginx metrics, custom tags, and why data residency in Norway is critical post-Safe Harbor.
Green dashboards don't equal happy users. Learn why traditional monitoring is failing modern DevOps teams and how to implement deep system introspection using ELK and Nginx in a Nordic infrastructure.
Standard uptime checks won't save you from slow APIs. We dive into identifying bottlenecks using New Relic, the ELK stack, and Linux system tools like `iostat`, specifically for high-traffic Norwegian workloads.
Is your application slow, or is it the network? Learn how to diagnose bottlenecks using the ELK stack, New Relic, and system metrics without blaming the wrong layer.
