It's a warm Friday and most of us are sheltering in place, so it's time for five hot takes on this week's monitoring and observability news 1/6

Leading off, an analysis on the Gartner 2020 APM Magic Quadrant. There's not much that's magical about APM (or Gartner reports for that matter), but this report is worth a read tunemon.com/analyzing-the-… 2/6

The Open Observability conference is May 27th. There's about half a dozen speakers already, and the CFP is open until May 11th openobservability.io 3/6

.@grafana 7.0 release is around the corner. It looks like there are some MetricTank rollup improvements, which should make some Cassandra cluster operators happy. grafana.com/blog/2020/05/0… 4/6

.@TimescaleDB published a post on Grafana 101 alerting. Looks like it covers some basics - average CPU, memory, disk alerting. blog.timescale.com/blog/grafana-1… 5/6

Saving the best for last, @postwait shipped a PR to @grafana to add linear time series buckets. If you've never loaded 100s of millions of datapoints in a few seconds, you obviously haven't tried @IRONdb. Yes, it's that fast.
