Upping the Auditing Game for Correlation Searches Within Enterprise Security - Part 1: The Basics

One question I get asked frequently is “how can I get deeper insight and audit correlation searches running inside my environment?” The first step in understanding our correlation searches, is creating a baseline of what is expected and identify what is currently enabled and running today. Content Management inside Splunk Enterprise Security is a quick way to filter on what is enabled (and it’s built into the UI and works out of the box).

Explore Kubernetes resources with Datadog Live Containers

Running Kubernetes applications requires visibility into not only the overall performance of clusters but also the health of individual pods, deployments, and other resources that make up your environment. Datadog already integrates with your containerized environments and includes features like the Live Container view and the Container Map, enabling you to easily monitor Kubernetes and container runtime performance in real time and get deep visibility into clusters.

Introducing the Grafana Accelerator Program, one of the investments we're making in the community after raising $50 million

This morning, we announced that we raised $50 million in Series B funding. This additional funding, following our $24 million round last October, will enable us to dramatically accelerate research and development at Grafana Labs. We plan to hire more engineers and focus on product innovation. And importantly, it will help us continue to nurture and grow our community of millions of developers around the world.

MicroK8s HA

MicroK8s is Canonical’s lightweight Kubernetes, that allows for Kubernetes to be installed on any machine in under 60 seconds. Initially, microK8s was a single K8s cluster project, however as users grew to love this easy-to-deploy distribution, Canonical now enables them to create small K8s clusters for higher scalability. Watch this video to witness yourself how easily you can run a command, create your K8s cluster, and run it in an instance using microK8s.

Hybrid Cloud Kubernetes: Connecting the dots with Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes

Canonical has recently teamed up with Microsoft, to enable Kubernetes users to manage multiple K8s clusters from a single platform - Azure Arc. Even if you’re not a Microsoft user, you can attach any on-prem or public cloud Kubernetes cluster to Arc, and manage them from a centralised point. In this demo, watch how to administrate multiple and different K8s clusters with Canonical’s distributions of Kubernetes and Arc.

Identifying and Resolving a Kafka Issue With AppSignal

Last week, we had an issue with one of our Kafka brokers. Don’t worry, it didn’t impact any customers. When monitoring things closely, you can often solve things before they impact a customer ;-). In today’s post, I’ll show you how we use AppSignal to dogfood our own issues. I’ll go through how we monitor the non-Ruby part of our stack and how we used AppSignal to detect and resolve the issue.
