Last week we finally had our first virtual Icinga Meetup. Since we had some trouble at our very first try, we were even more excited and nervous about this. This time, after a couple of minutes it was clear that everything will go well from the technical perspective.

Monitoring Amazon EKS logs and metrics with the Elastic Stack

To achieve unified observability, we need to gather all of the logs, metrics, and application traces from an environment. Storing them in a single datastore drastically increases our visibility, allowing us to monitor other distributed environments as well. In this blog, we will walk through one way to set up observability of your Kubernetes environment using the Elastic Stack — giving your team insight into the metrics and performance of your deployment.

Is that just the cost of doing business in the cloud? It doesn’t have to be. Here’s how you can rationalize your infrastructure and determine if there are cloud expenses you can reclaim and even if it makes sense to move some of your cloud deployments into co-location.

Best Practices for Data Tagging, Data Classification & Data Enrichment

Data classification can be broadly defined as the process of organizing and tagging data by categories so that collected data may be used and protected in the most efficient way possible. Sumo Logic is an analytics platform that can ingest almost any type of machine data. This data can be structured or unstructured, come in the form of event logs and messages or as time-series metrics. Once the data has been ingested into the platform, it can be leveraged for a wide variety of use cases.

How's Your Wi-Fi Signal? IT's Remote Work Blind Spot

Close your eyes for a moment and think of the least tech-savvy person in your family. Ok, open them. This person, even with their limited tech skills, probably understands that the farther you stray from your Wi-Fi router, the worse your connection will be. Incredibly, Chris and I can count between us over a dozen customers whose IT support teams failed to consider this one factor. How could something so simple fly under the radar of enterprise IT?

2004 to 20.04 LTS: 16 years of Ubuntu mascots
