LogicMonitor's Best Practice Approach to Security
A few months ago, LogicMonitor was certified to the ISO 27000 standards for Information Security management, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to write a bit about our efforts to build our information security certification program as well as our own best practices for secure use of the LogicMonitor platform.
Monitor Java memory management with runtime metrics, APM, and logs
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) dynamically manages memory for your applications, ensuring that you don’t need to manually allocate and release memory in your code. But anyone who’s ever encountered a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception knows that this process can be imperfect—your application could require more memory than the JVM is able to allocate.
The first rule about technical debt - never talk about technical debt
Have you ever been frustrated that your warnings and opinions on technical debt are going unheard? Or you’ve felt pushed to deploy code and software updates that are either not ready, or will cause your team more headaches than other stakeholders appreciate? You’re not alone. Whether you are building an early-stage startup or working at a vast 20-year-old monolith, technical debt mounts as you make changes and deploy new functionality.

Grafana 6.4 comes with a lot of new features and enhancements backed with tons of work around the data models and query execution that is going to enable powerful future capabilities. Some of those new capabilities can already be seen in this release, like sharing query results between panels.
Deploying the ELK Stack on Kubernetes with Helm
ELK and Kubernetes are used in the same sentence usually in the context of describing a monitoring stack. ELK integrates natively with Kubernetes and is a popular open-source solution for collecting, storing and analyzing Kubernetes telemetry data. However, ELK and Kubernetes are increasingly being used in another context — that of a method for deploying and managing the former.

This video will show you how to use the Fix History and Fix Feedback capability of eG Enterprise to create a site-specific knowledgebase.
Kubernetes Master Class: Managing SQL Servers with Kubernetes
Enterprises interested in modernizing SQL Server with Kubernetes are often challenged by dependencies on Active Directory and Windows Auth, storage networks, and other SQL Server infrastructure and security policies. The introduction of Windows Server for Kubernetes offers little to address these needs.
Looker - A single source of truth in multi-source world
Richard Reinders at Looker shows us how you get to Sumo Logic as a single source of truth in a multi cloud environment? How do you ensure consistency? How do you keep your team from having to go into many different systems to get their answers? Finally, how do you get other teams invested in ensuring that what you built is maintained?
WSUS: The outdated way of staying updated?
WSUS (Windows Server Update Service) is an add-on provided by Microsoft for patching Windows applications. Along with being free, the basic functionalities that WSUS provides makes it an easy choice for major SMBs. However, in reality, WSUS falls short in a number of ways; because of this, many teams that rely on WSUS for their patching needs end up investing in additional tools that usually come at an additional cost.
