8 Things to Monitor During a Software Deployment
Deployments don't have to suck! Identify any issues before they impact the end user. Learn 8 critical items you should monitor during your software deployments such as error rates, page load times, and apdex.
Monitive Mission Statement: "Why am I doing what I do?"
And no, it’s not summoning a few Venture Capital rounds of funding to pour them into a business, nor wasting my life on vacations or my money on gadgets. “What makes us happy?” I have to admit I’ve pursued this goal for a large part of my life. I know that some form of success is linked to happiness, and I know that success is not that esoteric feature that only the gifted among us get to possess. Success, just like happiness, is something we all have.
Top Nodejs Metrics To Watch
Stefan Thies talks about "Top Node.js Performance Metrics to watch“ including node.js key metrics, web framework metrics and examples from real applications. How to collect metrics (e.g. related npm packages) and challenges in monitoring node applications.
Encrypting an Unencrypted RDS Snapshot
RDS snapshots can be unencrypted or they can be encrypted at rest. Today, best practice is to use encryption-at-rest on your RDS instances and clusters, and to encrypt your RDS snapshots. When you create an RDS snapshot from an RDS instance or cluster, the resulting snapshot will be encrypted if the source instance or cluster is encrypted. But if the source is not encrypted, then your RDS snapshot is not encrypted. When you create an RDS snapshot, you are not given the option to encrypt it.
TCP/UDP Monitoring
Hund's native monitoring now supports both TCP and UDP checks. Both checks support sending custom data and assertions for responses. TCP checks can provide several useful metrics.
Let's talk about STIX, TAXII, and threat intelligence
In terms of collaboration, Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) and Trusted Automated eXchange of Indicator Information (TAXII) represent a revolution in the security industry. These protocols transformed the field of threat intelligence from a fragmented collection of information to a unified standard for information sharing. In this blog, I will examine this transition and how it came about.
Introducing Elastic Machine Learning Modules
It Catches What You Might Miss, All by Itself. Complex, fast-moving datasets make it nearly impossible to spot infrastructure problems, intruders, or business issues as they happen using rules or humans looking at dashboards.
Introducing Elastic Machine Learning Data Visualizer
Automatically Model the Complexity of the Real World. Skip defining rules, specifying thresholds, or manually building out statistical models. Our machine learning features make it easy to start identifying anomalies. Just describe the data you're interested analyzing (requests per second) and what other properties might influence it (server, IP, username), and that's it.
