We are very excited to announce a new capability for our Amazon S3 sources. Until recently, the only method Sumo Logic used for discovering new data in an S3 bucket was periodic polling.

Uptime Robot sends HEAD requests for HTTP monitors and GET request for keyword monitors by default (and, this is a good default setting for most monitors). So, here comes the HTTP method selection which enables us to choose the method, send the parameters to be sent (if needed) and also decide if the data will be sent as JSON or not.
In our last blog post, we learned what the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is, and examined the DDoS picture globally. As we walked through some recent and well-known cases, we also surveyed a range of attack types and drilled down to specific examples. In this article, we’ll study the mitigation techniques you’ll need to resist these attacks. You’ll learn: 1. How to avoid becoming a bot; 2. How to prepare your own network for the possibility of an attack and finally; 3.
