TL;DR InfluxDB Tech Tips - From Subqueries to Flux!

In this post we translate subqueries, using InfluxQL in InfluxDB version 1.x, into Flux, a data scripting and functional query language in InfluxDB version 1.8 and greater in either OSS or Cloud. The subqueries translated here come from this blog. This blog assumes that you have a basic understanding of Flux. If you’re entirely unfamiliar with Flux, I recommend that you check out the following documentation and blogs.

MLTK Smart Workflows

I’m excited to announce the launch of a new series of apps on Splunkbase: MLTK Smart Workflows. These apps are domain-specific workflows, built around specific use cases, that can be used to help you develop a set of machine learning models with your data. In this blog post, I’d like to take you through the process we adopted for developing the workflows.

Detect Ransomware in Your Data with the Machine Learning Cloud Service

While working with customers over the years, I've noticed a pattern with questions they have around operationalizing machine learning: “How can I use Machine Learning (ML) for threat detection with my data?”, “What are the best practices around model re-training and updates?”, and “Am I going to need to hire a data scientist to support this workflow in my security operations center (SOC)?” Well, we are excited to announce that the SplunkWorks team launched a new add-

Logging Golang Apps with ELK and Logz.io

The abundance of programming languages available today gives programmers plenty of tools with which to build applications. Whether long-established giants like Java or newcomers like Go, applications need monitoring after deployment. In this article, you will learn how to ship Golang logs to the ELK Stack and Logz.io. It’s usually possible to get an idea of what an application is doing by looking at its logs. However, log data has a tendency to grow exponentially over time.

Uptime Monitoring with Heartbeat

Whenever you build a service and expose a set of endpoints to provide API access to that service, you’ll likely need to track their availability and response times, aside from ensuring their functionality. But to actually know that “something is down” or just “not performing” you need to consistently monitor your services day in day out and that’s how Heartbeat from the Elastic Beat family helps you with Uptime Monitoring.

Take Flight with a Best-of-Breed Solution from Cherwell + Resolve

The Resolve platform seamlessly integrates with Cherwell products to provide customers deep visibility into complex infrastructure and business-critical applications, as well as to ensure their CMDBs are always up-to-date and accurate.

Mustache pickers How they help you design better dashboards

According to Merriam-Webster, a mustache is 'the hair growing on the human lip' – so let's be clear that when referring to mustache pickers in this blog, we are not suggesting using tweezer-like tools to help you design hipster dashboards. Instead, we are talking about an awesome SquaredUp productivity feature called mustache picker that helps you get quick and effective results when using mustache template syntax within SquaredUp.

CNCF Webinar: Critical DevSecOps considerations for Multicloud Kubernetes

The distributed nature of Kubernetes has turned both legacy infrastructure and traditional cybersecurity approaches on their heads. Organizations building cloud-native environments in their own data centers grapple with operationalizing and scaling Kubernetes clusters, and then ensuring system-wide security from the infrastructure layer all the way up to each container. In this webinar, you’ll hear from two cloud-native experts in infrastructure and security who will offer up valuable insights on.

CNCF Webinar: Getting started with container runtime security using Falco

Protect Kubernetes? As Kubernetes matures, security is becoming an important concern for both developers and operators. In this talk, Loris Degioanni (CTO and Founder @Sysdig) will give an overview of cloud native security, discuss its different aspects, with particular focus on runtime, and explain what inspired the development of Falco, the CNCF container security project. Through demonstration, he will educate the CNCF community on the ways Falco is being used for real-world workloads. Lastly, he will share the latest on Falco’s adoption, maturation within CNCF and what’s on the horizon.

What is Google Cloud Operations?

Formerly known as Stackdriver, Google Cloud Operations Suite is a platform where you can monitor, troubleshoot, and improve application performance on your Google Cloud environment. In this episode of Google Cloud Drawing Board, we show you what Google Cloud Operations Suite is and how you can use it to gain greater observability over your applications.
