Welcome savvy builder. If you’ve made it to our corner of the Internet and headed to re:invent, you are in the right place. We want you to leave Las Vegas with the savvy to choose how and when to apply the growing menu of serverless capabilities to your initiatives. To help you, we’re sending our serverless-first engineers to Las Vegas with three goals.
At AppDynamics, we frequently talk about how insights derived from application performance metrics can help achieve favorable business outcomes. It’s easy to imagine how this would be the case with a slow e-commerce application or full-blown outage, but there are many other use cases that don’t readily come to mind.
I had a wonderful time at IT Nation 2018 last week, getting to know many of you at the OnPage booth and during networking breaks. I also learned so much from the breakout sessions, not only from the knowledgeable speakers who shared ideas, best practices and experiences out in the field but also from the audience questions. Presentations are so much more valuable when there’s a lot of interaction!
Today, around 20% of total applications in a large to medium size enterprise are cloud-native. Assuming 10% cannot be moved to Cloud, there are roughly 70% apps still sitting in a Data Center. CIOs are mandating these 70% apps to be moved to cloud. Application migration to the cloud is either manual or automated. Manual takes time and effort to make changes to the code and deploying them on cloud (after testing it inside out).
Servers take a lot of requests daily, we know that…We also know that the server responds instantly. But who makes the request? What do they want, and what exactly are they looking for? Where do these visitors come from? How often they are making a request: once a month, once a day, almost every minute? Well, answers to these, and potentially a lot more questions, can be found in a single place - the server log file.
We’re excited to announce that LogDNA’s built-in log parser offers custom parsing, now available in beta. This means you can now use our step-by-step wizard to wrangle non-standard log formats and run custom transformations on your logs, allowing you to easily search and graph log lines that were previously off limits. The best part is, it’s a simple three step process: search, extract, validate… done!
It’s a well-known and often repeated business motto that it is cheaper to retain customers than it is to attract new ones. In order to save on marketing, networking, and the cost of potentially losing disgruntled customers, your customer service needs to be on point. You should already have a strong team in place whose focus is on service, but consumers are starting to expect more from the companies they support.
At Sensu Summit 2018, Box.com Sr. Infrastructure SRE Trent Baker told the story of how they migrated over 350,000 Nagios checks to Sensu. In this post, I’ll recap that talk, sharing some info about the infrastructure at Box.com, how they migrated a legacy monitoring system, and what’s next.
It’s been a bit quiet on the DNS Spy front lately, hasn’t it? Well, today is about to change that. We’ve launched a big update to DNS Spy. Mostly behind the scenes improvement, but certainly a few things everyone can enjoy!
