With InfluxDB 2.0 we added the ability to export a configuration of your entire stack, and import it again into another instance of InfluxDB. This includes your InfluxDB buckets, dashboards, queries, alerts and even Telegraf configurations. Since many people have the same or similar use cases, we wanted to provide a way for you to share your configurations with other users, and work together to enhance and improve them over time, just like you would any other open source project.

It is finally ready for launch – the first final release v1.0 of Icinga for Windows. The past months were quite challenging: Analyzing, troubleshooting and fixing issues reported by our awesome community and customers: Your support made it possible that we can celebrate the release of our new foundation for Windows monitoring. Scalable. Simplified. Extendable.

This blog post is one in an occasional series about how we at Elastic embrace our own technology. The Elastic InfoSec team is responsible for securing Elastic and responding to threats. We use our products everywhere we can — and for more than just logs. By harnessing the power and breadth of capabilities of the Elastic Stack, we are working on tracking risk and performance metrics, threat intelligence, our control framework, and control conformance information within Elastic.

This blog originally appeared on HPE. Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) recently invested in OpsRamp. Consider this: when you drive a car, how would you know whether the car needs maintenance? You might look for status indicators like a check engine or change oil light. Similarly, when a pilot flies an airplane, they rely on a multitude of metrics and data to ensure the plane is running smoothly. Managing IT infrastructure is similar in nature.

When mission-critical applications were all implemented within your data center, capacity management seemed easy – Most organizations deployed infrastructure sets (compute, network, and storage) to meet their 95 to 99% capacity requirement. For a retailer, that might mean planning around a “Black Friday” date (Cyber-Monday wasn’t around then). For a bank or a manufacturer using ERP or financial systems, this might instead be the end of year close.

Themes make the entirety of WordPress. You can’t find a WordPress site without an instance of theming applied.

From the discovery of fire to the development of the internet, society’s need to communicate and live as a social unit has inspired endless innovation. Soon we'll be witness to the pinnacle of wireless technology: fifth-generation wireless networks (5G). By allowing users to communicate and share data at breakneck speed, 5G could prove to be a paradigm shift in information consumption and sharing.

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!)

Today, we’ll dive deep into monitoring hosts. The good news is that we’ll point you to some shortcuts on how to set up host monitoring in an easy way. The bad news is that we won’t be doing any percussive maintenance on any host. To monitor hosts, you have to set a few layers in place. Doing all this by yourself would be the hard way. You may ask: “How hard could it be?”.
