This showcase demonstrates how the combination of Dynatrace and LoadView will close remaining gaps in the performance engineering chain.

Dotcom-Monitor has released a new version of the EveryStep scripting tool that supports websockets. Monitor and test web applications that use websockets.
Did you know that you don’t have to log in to the Dotcom-Monitor website to access your monitoring data? We have several options that allow you to interact with and consume your monitoring data in the format that best fits your needs.

Dotcom-Monitor has added a number of additional mobile devices to our mobile browser monitoring platform. The updated list of devices includes:

Dotcom-Monitor has released a suite of free website testing tools at www.dotcom-tools.com. The Dotcom-Monitor website testing tools allow you to perform a variety of tests on the performance of your own servers from external locations around the world.

Earlier this week Dotcom-Monitor announced ServerView Monitoring™ Media Stream. This technology allows users to monitor a broad range of streaming content from an external “user experience” perspective. In addition to comprehensive data and diagnostic aspects, customizable alerts may be setup for each media stream to continually monitor media performance and availability. Interactive waterfall charts and drill downs amongst the data allow users to locate and repair problems, significantly reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).
Below is a list of streaming media formats currently available for monitoring and testing:
BrowserView Website Performance Test is a free online test that uses Dotcom-Monitor’s browser-based BrowserView Monitoring™ platform. The test produces a detailed waterfall chart – from each of the 19 worldwide locations – that displays the time it takes to render individual webpage objects, including dynamic Web 2.0 page elements (such as Ajax, Flash, etc..). BrowserView Website Performance Test has the most comprehensive worldwide network of monitoring locations currently available.
UserView Snapshot is a free online test that uses Dotcom-Monitor’s browser-based UserView Monitoring™ platform. The test produces a detailed waterfall chart – from each of the 13 worldwide locations – that displays the time it takes to render individual webpage objects, including dynamic Web 2.0 page elements (such as Ajax, Flash, etc…). UserView Snapshot has the most comprehensive worldwide network of monitoring locations currently available.

It’s pretty sweet when you don’t have to worry about your servers. But while Dotcom-Monitor is monitoring your servers remotely for everything from speed to temperature, some poor system admins or IT techs are being dropped into a tangled nightmare. Here are 15 of the worst server wiring jobs ever, or in other words, welcome to Server Room Cable Hell.
