aid: monitoring name: Monitoring kind: topic description: >- An index and topic collection covering API monitoring, application performance monitoring, observability, uptime monitoring, log aggregation, error tracking, distributed tracing, and incident response. API monitoring spans synthetic checks against public endpoints, real-user and application performance monitoring, logs and metrics collection, distributed tracing across microservices, error tracking, status page communication, and on-call paging when something breaks. This collection brings together commercial observability platforms like Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, and Splunk; open-source projects like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, and Zipkin; uptime and synthetic monitoring services like Pingdom, Checkly, Better Stack, and UptimeRobot; error trackers like Sentry, Rollbar, Bugsnag, and Honeybadger; and incident response platforms like PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Incident.io, and FireHydrant. type: Index image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: -
