In this blog post, I would like to share with you some of the projects that I used to to get a better sense of what Prometheus can do. I am a very hands-on type of learner, and usually when I want to explore new technologies, I start with “hello world” apps and small toy projects. Therefore, the main goal of this blog is to share with you how easily you can set up Prometheus and how quickly you can create simple projects that can be monitored with Prometheus and visualized in Grafana.

As mentioned in the last release 740, even updates will focus on fixing bugs and odd ones on developing new features and improvements that help all users. In this release 741, a new Discovery integration has been added to monitor SAP centrally and remotely, a system to report bugs and suggestions, in addition to Omnishell, the first step of Pandora FMS in the world of automation and IT infrastructure management.

Last month, the Elastic Security Protections Team prevented an attempted ransomware attack targeting an organization monitored by one of our customers, an IT Managed Service Provider (MSP). We analyzed the alerts that were generated after an adversary’s process injection attempts were prevented by Elastic Endpoint Security on several endpoints.

My energy was uniquely high during this trip due to our recent rebrand from “Virtual Instruments” to “Virtana” and the launch of our latest product offering, CloudWisdom.

I wouldn’t wish even upon my worst enemy the task of writing a company’s mission statement or brand slogan. Nowadays customers respond most to companies that convey higher-level, altruistic values in their messaging—especially in the world of enterprise tech, or Silicon Valley startups. You can’t write something like “we’re here to make lots of money and dominate the market”—that’s just not going to fly.

If you own a Google Pixel smartphone (or one of a couple of other models) Android’s latest update is finally here. If you own another model of Android smartphone then you’ll have to wait a little longer, but that’s nom de rigueur for the operating system. Dubbed Android 10, the new update has abandoned the usual confectionary based naming scheme in favour of a straight numbering system – possibly following Windows’ and Apple’s lead.
