January brought us many new things for 2019. There’s more to come in our 10th year.

Your team had been fighting this major incident for hours, but your investigation was hitting one dead end after another. Finally, you managed to isolate the problem and your graphs started to improve. When all systems went back to normal, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief, shut down the response call, and went back to bed, never to think of this incident again. Or so you thought.

Garbage collection is a key component of many modern programming languages, including C#. It’s even hard to imagine what programming would look like in C#, and other modern languages like Java, Ruby, and many others, without this tool.

You’ve heard it so many times: Transparent communication is the key to any successful relationship. The banking industry learned this lesson when cyber attacks began to plague their customers, and the official line for many financial institutions was to deny there was a problem. That is until the hacks became so profound and so persistent that it became impossible to cover them up any longer.

One of the key Kubernetes security concepts is that workload identity is tied back to information that the orchestrator has. The orchestrator is actually the authoritative entity for what the actual workloads are in the platform. Kubernetes uses labels to select objects and to identify collections of objects that satisfy certain conditions. We, and others in the Kubernetes networking space, often talk about using Kubernetes ‘labels’ as identity bearers.

As main event in this new Pandora FMS 731 update package we have the improvement of IP address management, better known as IPAM. Also, VLAN management, Supergrids and integration with Microsoft DHCP Server, are now included. It is possible as well to monitor the use of networks with alerts, graphs and reports.

OpsRamp, the service-centric AIOps software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for the hybrid enterprise, today announced new topology maps, enhanced artificial intelligence for IT operatzions (AIOps) features and new monitoring capabilities for cloud native workloads.

In October of last year, I joined Sumo Logic to lead sales and go-to-market functions with the goal of successfully launching our newly established Japan region in Tokyo. The launch was highly received by our customers, partners, prospects and peers in the Japanese market and everyone walked away from the event optimistic about the future and hungry for more!

If you use PHP or you find yourself “adopting” a PHP app (like I did a few years ago), you must know how to debug PHP. In this detailed guide to PHP debugging, you’ll see some debugging techniques that apply to almost any programming language. But don’t worry. I’ll get into the specifics that apply to PHP, from the basics all the way to fully integrated debugging techniques. Let’s start with a basic technique in PHP debugging: outputting and logging values.
