Scout Monitoring

Rails just shipped security patches across all 3 maintained branches (v7.2.3.1, v8.0.4.1, v8.1.2.1) fixing 9 CVEs — path traversal, XSS, DoS. Plus Starlette hits 1.0 and Solid Queue adds dynamic recurring tasks. Full roundup: scoutapm.com/blog/this-week…

If you happen to work on Elixir and Phoenix and have been craving that Scout experience (minimal time, maximal insight), we have good news. We rolled out improved instrumentation, error monitoring and log management in a major release. Check it out at scoutapm.com/blog/monitorin…

Errors aren't the enemy; they're the messenger. What makes them even more powerful? Context. See your errors right beside your perf and log data for quick, deep insights that keep your users happy: youtu.be/U3Z5AYRczOI?si…

Scout makes it dead simple to see context, not just numbers. Minimal install. Max clarity. No BS dashboards you need a PhD to read. scoutapm.com/blog/applicati…

Average response time is a gateway metric, not a truth serum. If it moves, something’s up. If it doesn’t, something still might be up. Correlate it with p95, throughput, and queue time before you panic-optimize the wrong thing.

Queue time is the canary. When it climbs, the rest of the dashboard usually follows: p95 gets ugly, timeouts show up, errors spike. Here’s a practical guide to what causes it + how to get ahead of it. scoutapm.com/blog/applicati…

Quiet failures are our least favorite failures. Throughput is “kind of” down, nothing is entirely on fire, and your users are just kinda having a worse day. This post is about catching that stuff earlier. scoutapm.com/blog/decoding-…

You’ll know in 5 minutes if Scout fits your team. Install, then: slow code, new errors, and the logs/traces/perf context, side by side. Unlimited teammates. Share deep links to the exact trace/endpoint.

If your mean latency is flat but your p95 is screaming… you’ve got a story worth reading. We break down percentiles, spread, and why averages are sneaky. scoutapm.com/blog/applicati…

Quinn just added FastMCP support to the Scout Python agent and wrote up the whole approach. It’s a practical look at how to instrument MCP tool calls with middleware: spans, arguments, errors, and metadata. If you’re running your own MCP server, it’s worth a read.

Some bugs teach you something. Some just waste your afternoon. For the latter, let the AI do the work. On fixing production bugs with Scout’s MCP server → scoutapm.com/blog/mcp-found…
