We’ve released some improvements to our Java Beeline library! Allow me to share all the interesting new features.

Serverless has been around for a minute now but it’s safe to say that it’s still in its infancy in 2020 and definitely has a long way to go. But serverless architecture is a major step away from to dependence on humans and towards reliance on machines. Are the machines already talking over? Not literally the “Terminator” movie scenario quite yet but is this the beginning of the end of an era in the world as we know it?

An IT director and an MSP walk into a bar… Well, it wasn’t actually a bar, it was a panel session on the second day of the Protect & Streamline Summit for IT Leaders. And they didn’t so much walk in as hit join meeting from their respective home offices. Nevertheless, the discussion between Bryan Schultz and Bob Coppedge, moderated by Datto’s Rob Rae, felt a lot like a candid conversation between friends.

In the late afternoon of a beautiful June day, a last-minute customer error was threatening to derail the end of my work day. We received communication from the customer that was simply titled, “There’s a weird error message happening.” The customer included a screenshot of the interface with a nasty SQL error that was propagating to the surface.

When developers think of log files and log analysis, their minds typically transports into the world of contributing factors and incident remediation. However, analyzing log events doesn’t always need to be about a specific bug and its corresponding resolution. In fact, log analysis can be a very useful resource for organizations looking to develop a more high-level and large-scale plan for their application moving forward.

Our team recently discovered an exposed endpoint without authentication enabled, though we know it had previously been required. The root cause was a missing configuration as a result of a recent upgrade a few weeks earlier, and was easy to fix by simply enabling the configuration parameter correctly. We needed a way to catch this type of issue quickly going forward, for this and for other public endpoints, which should be secure by default. Here is how we solved it.

We are excited to announce the availability of the Splunk App for HashiCorp Vault. Using this app, organizations can seamlessly ingest and visualize performance metrics and audit logs in Splunk to investigate, monitor, analyze and act on Vault data across DevSecOps use cases.

We are excited to share that ManageEngine’s Log360 has been awarded the 2020 Fortress Cyber Security Award for Threat Detection. The Business Intelligence Group’s unique scoring system measures performance across multiple business domains.

Client libraries are collections of code that make it easier for developers to write flexible and efficient applications that interface with APIs. Datadog provides client libraries so you can programmatically interact with our API to customize dashboards, search metrics, create alerts, and perform other tasks. We’re pleased to announce that we’ve developed and open-sourced two new client libraries for Java and Go in addition to our existing Ruby and Python libraries.
