Gain Clarity on Cloud Usage with Enhanced Monitoring from MyJFrog

We can all agree that visibility into resource usage is crucial for optimizing performance and managing costs to drive your business — especially in today’s cloud-driven world.

MyJFrog is a comprehensive management portal for overseeing JFrog cloud platform instances and subscriptions. It provides a centralized control tower to manage and monitor subscriptions, resources, and usage. With MyJFrog, users can gain the control, visibility, and foresight they need to make informed decisions that enhance their operational environment.

In this blog, we’ll explore the new Usage Explorer capability within the MyJFrog platform, a feature designed to improve how users monitor, manage, and interact with their data. We’ll highlight key benefits, including enhanced visibility into data transfer and usage patterns, self-service analysis tools, and proactive real-time monitoring.

Additionally, we’ll discuss notifications that allows users to receive real-time alerts on usage and the recently launched MyJFrog Mobile App, which facilitates platform monitoring on the go. As organizations move increasingly towards cloud-native solutions, these new features will be vital in optimizing resource management and decision-making.

Introducing Usage Explorer

We’re excited to announce Usage Explorer, a significant new capability within the MyJFrog platform that empowers users to gain deeper insights into their data transfer, security scans, and usage patterns.

What’s New?

The new Usage Explorer capability monitors and analyzes usage and data transfer activities. Designed to enable foresight into usage spikes and resource allocation, this solution enhances the overall JFrog experience by making critical data easily accessible and understandable.

Key Benefits

• Increased Visibility
  Users can view detailed metrics on data transfers, helping them understand exactly where and how their resources are utilized. This feature includes insights into past usage trends, identification of spikes, and investigation of their causes.
• Self-Service Capabilities
  Usage Explorer provides a user-friendly interface to drill down into usage statistics for an efficient and independent experience for understanding usage patterns.
• Proactive Monitoring
  Real-time alerts for usage anomalies enable teams to address potential issues before they escalate. This proactive approach supports better resource management and helps organizations avoid unexpected costs.
• Enhanced Reporting
  Generate reports that break down usage by various dimensions, such as User, IP Address, and Repository. This streamlined reporting capability not only aids in internal audits but also supports showback and chargeback processes, making it easier for organizations to allocate costs accurately.
• User-Centric Design
  The MyJFrog platform continues to evolve with its users in mind. The new visualizations and dashboard features are designed to be intuitive, allowing users at all levels—from technical members to finance stakeholders—to access the data they need quickly and efficiently.

Why It Matters

As applications grow in complexity and cloud consumption continues to rise, organizations look for ways to optimize spending and improve their usage oversight. Usage Explorer is a step towards providing customers with the tools to enhance accountability and transparency regarding their cloud resources.

This functionality is vital as organizations transition to cloud-native solutions and migrate from on-premise setups. With detailed insights into usage patterns, JFrog aims to eliminate monitoring obstacles to SaaS adoption and facilitate easier cloud management.

Notifications and Alerts

The MyJFrog Portal’s Notification Center empowers users to manage critical alerts and notifications, helping them stay updated on platform usage and performance thresholds. Users can customize alerts for daily or monthly limits and view a complete history of all previous notifications.

MyJFrog also offers administrators an easy way to ensure notifications reach the right team members. This tool complements the Usage Explorer with proactive alerts, helping users monitor and respond to any data usage variability.

Users can receive alerts via email or push notifications with the recently released MyJFrog mobile application. Learn more about how to manage notifications in MyJFrog.

MyJFrog Mobile Application

The MyJFrog mobile app offers an “on-the-go” experience for MyJFrog users, allowing admins and users to monitor platform usage and status to respond quickly to any issues from anywhere.

Key features include a dashboard overview for quick insights into platform performance, usage trends, and scans, along with real-time ‘Push Notifications’ for critical updates like consumption thresholds, token expirations, and more.

You can get started with the MyJFrog App on the iOS App Store —coming soon as an Android App on Google Play.
