As its name suggests, a single instance of ThreadLocal can store different values for each thread independently. Therefore, the value stored in a ThreadLocal instance is specific (local) to the current running thread. Any other code logic running on the same thread will see the same value, but not the values set on the same instance by other threads. There are exceptions, though, like InhertiableThreadLocal, which inherits parent threads’ values by default.

The latest addition to the ever growing Security Monitoring tools from RapidSpike is the ability to perform Vulnerability Scans of your external facing servers and web applications.

A couple of weeks ago we launched a new feature for Pro users: rate limiting SMS alerts. Back then we promised that free users wouldn't be left out and we've just rolled out the planned upgrade to all free accounts: we've increased the available number of monitors from 20 to 60. That's right, you can now monitor up to 60 websites completely free.

The 2018 Olympic games have proven to be exciting, featuring ground-breaking athletic feats, new world records, and unprecedented diplomacy (two countries that are normally mortal enemies playing under the same flag!). The 2018 games are coming to a close, but it's not too late to get in on the action. We created a one stop shop dashboard for Olympic data (using LogicMonitor, of course).

Ten years ago, still young in my career building software things, I got my first taste of DevOps. We didn’t call it that back then but for the first time I had to worry about how my software would be delivered to the world.

To start with, idea of WebGazer came into existence from self-need. Maintaining multiple websites on different servers and not knowing the state of every one were problematic, especially when one of the websites somehow goes down and you learn it from the customer you maintain the website for or the user who shouldn't even notice the glitch in the first place.

Prior to upcoming upgrades or a new installation of System Center Operations Manager (SCOM), it’s important to keep statistics on how the performance of your environment is impacted over time. It can also be the case that you want to make changes to the infrastructure and you’d want to understand if you get a positive or negative impact.
