Icinga Web 2 and all its modules have been localized from the very beginning. There were also quite a few languages added. Just recently Icinga Web 2 and the Director got a Japanese locale! And a updated Russian as well as a new Spanish (Argentina) locale are in the works at the moment. Over the years our Saudi Arabian, German, Finnish, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian, Russian and Ukrainian users were able to experience Icinga Web 2 and some of its modules in their native tongue.

We recently wrote about whether API Gateway can act as a Load Balancer. The answer is yes and, in many cases, they are substitutes for each other. But how should we choose which one to use? In this article, we will dive into more details on how these two types of HTTP networking services compare, using the AWS services as a base level: API Gateway and Application Load Balancer (ALB). Both are highly-scalable services to a point that scalability should not be a concern for most use cases.

Alert management is no longer a manageable task, given the growth in applications, cloud environments and point monitoring tools. Too much time is spent filtering and making sense of alert data and determining where to route incidents. All of these steps slow down critical issue identification and resolution. In this article, I want to discuss a more sensible, modern way to deal with IT alerts, through machine learning intelligence and automation.

It’s probably true to say that if you asked an average user what makes a great web application, they’d probably say “speed.” But speed is the probably the least important aspect of an extensive rundown of elements. Factors like application development and rendering in the program are probably higher on that list. And what makes up a great performing application? And when something goes wrong, how do you know?

Security is vital for protecting company assets and data subjects. Evolving data protection regulations, like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), have thrown light on security breaches and the security architecture of those compromised. In 2019, the global average cost for a data breach was $3.9 million, not including reputational damage and hidden costs.

AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) dynamically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple EC2 instances and scales resources to meet traffic requirements. Elastic Load Balancing helps optimize the performance of various web and mobile applications by identifying failing EC2 instances before they affect the end-user experience.

One of the most important things that customers consider while purchasing a product or service is its credibility. A label that states the product has been tested, analyzed, and certified by an international regulatory body reassures a customer’s purchase decision. This is why organizations today strive to get themselves bench marked, differentiated, and validated. For this, they seek out regulatory bodies that develop and publish international standards.

We’re into the third and last week of GrafanaCONline! We hope you’re able to check out all of our great online sessions. If you didn’t get a chance to watch yesterday’s sessions (or want to see them again), here’s a recap of day 9 of the conference.

Behind every part of Grafana, there are the ideas, creativity and commitment of the people who made it. While that includes code, it is not limited to it. Since August 2019, Grafana Labs has had a dedicated UX team, and we have been involved in countless recent features and improvements. We want to show you how we do our work, why you users are at the heart of everything we do – and most importantly, how design changes can make software better.

Be it be on-premise or in Azure, monitoring your resources is extremely important. While the popular monitoring tool to use on premise remains to be SCOM, many organizations with a presence in the cloud have started to explore Azure Monitor to fulfil their monitoring needs in Azure. Recently, we discussed Azure Monitor and its capabilities extensively in our Azure Monitor Learning Path blog series.
