Log management plays an important role in helping to debug Kubernetes clusters, improve their efficiency, and monitor them for any suspicious activity. Kubernetes is an open-source cluster management software designed for the deployment, scaling, and operations of containerized applications.

As the team responsible for building dormakaba’s first cloud-access control solution, Exivo, the Cloud Development team at dormakaba AS EMEA needed a logging solution that with scalable logging throughout their global environment, handle a huge amount of throughput, be piped through an API, and remain highly secure so it could be implemented on the doors and entry systems the company produces. Logz.io was the perfect fit for these requirements.

The tongue-in-cheek named malware detection tool, Yet Another Recursive Acronym (YARA) is described as “the pattern-matching Swiss Army knife for malware researchers (and everyone else)”. The Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM Enterprise platform is one of the first SIEM solutions to incorporate it as a built-in feature. This gives blue teamers an additional layer of detection built into the SIEM.

Several months ago, Bryan Boreham introduced a few changes to Cortex that massively reduced its storage requirements. The changes were quite simple and altogether had a nice benefit of using almost 3x less data storage than prior versions. Since Loki shares a lot of code with Cortex, could we use these ideas to the same effect? (Spoiler alert: Yes, we can!)

In the fast-moving world of software development, as your product and organization grow and evolve, there are almost always competing priorities. Zeroing in on what is most important to your business in order to take it to the next level can at times seem like a non-stop process of trial and error. Oftentimes the customer who screams the loudest becomes a priority and gets the most focus.

Kinesis is a managed, high-performance and large-capacity service for real time processing of (live) streaming data. Prominent users include Netflix, Comcast and Major League Baseball. Its design to let it grab data from multiple sources at the same time and to scale processing within EC2 instances.

This is the third and final post of a three-part series on understanding kernel extension frameworks for Mac systems. In part 1, we reviewed the existing kernel extension frameworks and the information that these frameworks can provide. In part 2 we covered techniques that could be used in kernel to gather even more details on system events. In this post, we will go into the new EndpointSecurity and SystemExtensions frameworks.

On January 31st, 2020, the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD A&S) published V1.0 of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The CMMC builds on DFARS both in terms of required practices and by establishing “trust, but verify” relationships with DoD contractors.

Last week on Slack: Eldin: Hey Christine, do you remember the first time you viewed a log file? Christine: Oh yes. I used Splunk as a support engineer and I remember. You? Eldin: I believe it was early 2000s. I was installing Slackware and a few network cards for a DIY router, and logs were critical. Hello again! We are Eldin and Christine from Solutions Engineering – a team at Grafana that is passionate about connecting people to our products – reporting back for duty.

One of the main benefits of using an all-in-one observability suite like Stackdriver is that it provides all of the capabilities you may need. Specifically, your metrics, traces, and logs are all in one place, and with the GA release of Monitoring in the Cloud Console, that’s more true than ever before. However, for the most part, each of these data elements are still mostly independent, and I wanted to attempt to try to unify two of them — traces and logs.
