Manufacturing 2020: Time to Reinvent After a Golden Decade

Generally, 2009 to 2019 were 10 golden years for manufacturers worldwide. After the swift recovery from the economic and financial crisis in 2008/09, many manufacturers have been enjoying double-digit order intake growth, increasing revenues and profits for over a decade. German manufacturers in particular benefitted from an unprecedented peak in 2018. Volkswagen delivered a record-high number of 11 million cars and grew its revenues to 236 billion euros, the highest revenue ever in its long history.

Bi-directional replication with Elasticsearch cross-cluster replication (CCR)

Elasticsearch cross-cluster replication (CCR) was released as a beta feature in Elasticsearch 6.5, and as a Generally Available (GA) feature in Elasticsearch 6.7. CCR allows multiple indices to be replicated to one or more Elasticsearch clusters. Replicating indices to additional Elasticsearch clusters solves several use cases, including high availability (HA) across datacenters, disaster recovery (DR), and CDN-like architectures to co-locate data closer to application servers (and users).

Loki 1.3.0 Released!

Welcome to 2020! (We’re a little slow with that on the Loki team.) To kick off the year we are releasing Loki 1.3! Anyone running Loki in microservices mode will be excited by this release as it introduces the Loki Query Frontend.

Coralogix makes it easy to integrate with your S3 server access logs via a Lambda function.

Elastic SIEM for home and small business: Beats on Mac

Hey, there. This is part six of the Elastic SIEM for home and small business blog series. If you haven’t read the first, second, and third blogs, you may want to before going any further. In the Getting started blog, we created our Elasticsearch Service deployment and started collecting data from one of our computers using Winlogbeat. In the Securing cluster access blog, we secured access to our cluster by restricting privileges for users and Beats.

Implementing Geolocation with Graylog Pipelines

Geolocation can be automatically built into the Graylog platform by using the "GeoIP Resolver" plugin with a MaxMind database. However, you can further improve your ability to extract meaningful and useful data by leveraging the functionality of pipelines and lookup tables. In fact, these powerful features allow you to do much more than the basic plugin.

Detecting CVE-2020-0601 Exploitation Attempts With Wire & Log Data

Editor’s note: CVE-2020-0601, unsurprisingly, has created a great deal of interest and concern. There is so much going on that we could not adequately provide a full accounting in a single blog post! This post focuses on detection of the vulnerability based on network logs, specifically Zeek as well as Endpoint. If you are collecting vulnerability scan data and need to keep an eye on your inventory of systems that are at risk, then check out Anthony Perez’s blog.

How to Instrument UserLand Apps with eBPF

eBPF has revolutionized the observability landscape in the Linux kernel. Throughout our previous blog post series, I covered the fundamental building blocks of the eBPF ecosystem, scratched the surface of XDP and showed how closely it cooperates with the eBPF infrastructure to introduce a fast-processing datapath in the networking stack. Nevertheless, eBPF is not exclusive to kernel-space tracing.
