The latest News and Information on API Development, Management, Monitoring, and related technologies.
You know the feeling. You’ve just deployed a new version to production and are monitoring the Rollbar dashboard for any new errors or looking out for any Slack notifications. You’re keeping an eye on the number of new or reactivated errors, their severity level, and triaging to see which errors need to be assigned and to whom. Now what if you could automate these tasks?
Few things are more frustrating than slow, flaky test suites. You're ready to deploy, wait 20 minutes for CI to run, only to find that a test failure in code you've never touched is blocking you. You dig into the source and find the problem: an external API call. It works (slowly) most of the time. But sometimes the network glitches and it fails. What do you do? In this article, José Manuel shows us several techniques for removing external API dependencies from our tests.
As you build more complicated Splunk apps, you might wonder, “What is the best way to make the features in my app more usable?” If you’re adding new SPL commands or creating ways to input new data sources, the answer is straightforward. But imagine you’re trying to address one of the following scenarios: For cases like these, consider extending the Splunk REST API with custom endpoints.
Version 2.1 of the HAProxy Data Plane API expands support to all available request and response actions, adds Lua actions, and improves file handling. A year ago, we introduced version 1.0 of the HAProxy Data Plane API, enabling you to configure your HAProxy load balancers remotely through a modern RESTful HTTP API. That first version of the API focused on the essential behaviors for creating frontend proxies, backend server pools, ACLs and traffic switching rules.
As the adoption of GraphQL is rising steadily, teams often come across the natural question of how to deal with errors that pass service boundaries and propagate from API endpoints to clients and consumers.
Looking to get some REST endpoints monitors quickly? Follow the below steps to setup a could REST monitors in about 15 minutes (weather in this demo).
Here is an overview of the features & fixes we released over the last ~2 months.
Learning about the Icinga API can be an eye opening moment for some, and lead to a path of automation and configuration management. But where to start? Well, you can always check out the Icinga API documentation for that. But today, I have an idea for you – I’ll show you how to create a host through the Icinga 2 API.
