I'm starting a new role as a Dynatrace SRE and would love some insights from this community.

Any recommendations on integrating these platforms more effectively? Also, are there specific plugins or extensions for Dynatrace or Zabbix that you find indispensable? Tips on dashboard setups in Power BI that effectively harness data ..read more

I've got a webinar coming up on how to turn visual regression tests supported by Playwright into monitoring tools with Checkly. We all know that our site should only change visually at deploy time, but that's not always how it works in the real world. Wouldn't it be nice to get an alert when a 3rd party change or a rogue GTM edit causes something to shift by more than a few pixels? See a demo this Wednesday April 25th at 8AM PST/5PM CET. Read more here, I'll also use the same page later to share a recording of the webinar. submitted by /u/serverlessmom [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
