Logging for Continuous Integration
If you look at the title of this post, you’re probably thinking to yourself,
“huh, that’s never really come up.” Of course, it’s possible that you’re not.
But, in my travels as a consultant helping dev teams with practice and gap
analysis, I’ve never had anyone ask me, “what do you recommend in terms of a
logging solution for continuous integration?”
But hey, this is an easily solved problem, right? After all, continuous

Integrating Logentries With .NET The How and Why

Intrinsically fast: more JVM performance tinkering
I didn’t expect my last post
[/2016/03/14/a-point-of-contention-cache-coherence-on-the-jvm/] on JVM perf to
be so well received, so I thought I’d carry on digging into why your code does
(or doesn’t) run fast! Let’s forget about concurrency for now and instead focus
on the executable machine code that the Java Virtual Machine (and particularly
HotSpot) generates.
In Java-land it’s pretty common to hear people mention stuff about ‘warmup
times’, especially in the context of an incendiary micro

Implementing Self-Describing Log Data Using NodeJS
In my previous article, How to Ensure Self-Describing Log Data using Log4Net

a technique that made structuring your logging information as key-value and

the same concepts to NodeJS. I’ll show you how to make it so that so you can

How To: Send Logentries Alerts to BigPanda
Working in customer support we are usually the first to receive feature
requests, integration requests or recommendations. We would then relay this to
our product team. But we often get requests that we can tackle ourselves whether
this may be small coding tasks or account changes. So when we heard a user
wanted to be able to forward their Logentries alerts to BigPanda.io, we made
that happen.
When any issues occur, time to resolution matters. Because Logentries streams

A Query Language for Your Logs
Application logging is the software world’s version of archeology. At runtime,
your application lives in a rich, colorful, 3-dimensional world of flowing
aqueducts, packed coliseums, and bustling streets. There’s more going on than
can possibly be captured.
When you’re trying to reproduce and correct a reported issue, you play
archeologist. The vibrant, live world is gone, and you’re left to piece reality
back together using only decorated pots, spearheads, and fragments of frescoes.
