Before I start my ramble here, let me tell you something... the day I learned how to construct a manual Effective License Position (ELP) in Excel my life gained a new purpose, and it became the biggest hobby, sport and passion ever! Those who have done manual ELPs in Excel will know that magic feeling! First, it’s hard as you scramble for the data and licensing knowledge, but if you’re lucky enough and at least get some vendor report or purchase summary, it's a good starting point...
Have you ever been in a situation where something in your Icinga configuration did not work as expected and you ended up doing small changes and reloading Icinga over and over again? This can be especially tricky with apply rules and filters if they don’t match the objects you hope for. This post will show you how you can use the Icinga Script Debugger in this situation to get an interactive console in the context where the apply rule or filter is evaluated.

We’d been planning intensely for this moment for the last week or so – our meeting with Charlie, the CIO, to present the results of our Moogsoft experiments and ask for permission to extend the rollout across the enterprise.
With everything going on in the world, it seems like a lifetime ago that we started talking about the Splunk Operator for Kubernetes, which enables customers to easily deploy, scale, and manage Splunk Enterprise on their choice of cloud environment. During that time, we’ve heard from an increasing number of on-premise and public cloud Bring-Your-Own-License Splunk customers that containerization and Kubernetes are an important part of their current and future deployment plans.
To immediately see how to find potential vulnerabilities or exploits in your Pulse Connect Secure appliance, skip down to the "Identifying, Monitoring and Hunting with Splunk" section. Otherwise, read on for a quick breakdown of what happened, how to detect it, and MITRE ATT&CK mappings.
