Upcoming channel sidebar features: Custom categories, drag & drop, unread channel filtering, and more

Join us in testing an experimental feature set offering additional functionality for managing channels in your sidebar. The features will roll out in stages beginning in v5.22 (April 16, 2020) under an opt-in config setting that can be enabled by System Admins: Experimental Sidebar Features. We are excited to share these powerful features with you and look forward to your feedback. As we iterate on the user experience, we plan to release the features for general availability later this year.

Introducing: Observability for Cloud & Containers

Are you currently dealing with complex and fast-changing Cloud & Container environments? If your answer to that question is yes, then you are probably looking for an easy solution that gives you complete control to make sense of all these fast and complex IT environments. In the dynamic world of microservices and containers, traditional monitoring solutions are no longer sufficient to provide needed visibilities to maintain healthy and happy environments.

Virtual safety: How to teach your kids cybersecurity best practices

Confession: I am a security practitioner. I am also a mom. What I am not is a homeschool teacher. Earlier this year, I spoke to the 5th- and 6th-grade classes at my son’s Innovation Day about cybersecurity. I discussed what it means to be a cybersecurity practitioner and how the practice of cybersecurity affects everyday life.

Generating MITRE ATT&CK® signals in Elastic SIEM: Sysmon data

Many mature security teams look to the MITRE ATT&CK® matrix to help improve their understanding of attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and to better understand their own capabilities relative to these common adversarial approaches. With the release of Elastic Security 7.6, Elastic SIEM saw 92 detection rules for threat hunting and security analytics aligned to ATT&CK.

Remove Manual Bottlenecks in DevOps with AIOps

DevOps pipelines generate massive amounts of data. To maintain the stability and speed of application delivery, operations leaders must analyze it quickly and continuously. But how can they keep DevOps — and their business — agile? Gartner’s “Augment Decision Making in DevOps Using AI Techniques” provides, in our view, the answer for operations leaders to make precise data-driven decisions and automate actions for rapid application delivery.

LXD pod commissioning data

MAAS is built to manage machines, including the operating systems on those machines. Enlistment and commissioning are features that make it easier to start managing a machine – as long as that machine has been configured to netboot. Enlistment enables users to simply connect a machine, configure the firmware properly, and power it on so that MAAS can find it and add it.

Customizing the UE4 Crash Report Client

Crash Report Client is an Unreal Engine tool that allows developers to capture C++ crash reports from supported platforms. At crash time, a dialog is shown to the user so that they may add comments or replication steps to the details of the report. Once the crash report is submitted, it’s pushed to one of Epic’s servers so that developers can review the crash and fix the underlying issue. Often, the crash is a result of code that wasn’t written by Epic.

Getting Started with the InfluxDB Go Client

There are several ways to write and query InfluxDB v2 (either open source or Cloud). You can use the HTTP API, Telegraf and any of 200+ plugins, or a client library. However, if you’re specifically looking to build an application with a fast way to fetch data concurrently with an easy binary deploy then — you guessed it — you’d probably want to use the InfluxDB Go Client.
