JFrog Platform Log Analytics Splunk App

The Splunk App for JFrog Platform Log Analytics processes extracted log data for the JFrog Platform, the universal, hybrid end-to-end DevOps platform. The app provides a set of operations diagnostic dashboard views for JFrog Artifactory and JFrog Xray error tracking. Learn how the Splunk app works, with some demonstration of its use.

DevOps 101 - Introduction to CI/CD

When you’re new to an industry, you encounter a lot of new concepts. We tend to use a lot of jargon, the documentation may be written with someone more experienced in mind or rely on contextual knowledge of the rest of the space, and it often doesn’t explain the “why” for the tool. This can make it really difficult to get your feet underneath you on an unfamiliar landscape, especially for junior engineers.

JFrog & Splunk - Observability for your IT Value Stream

As software is the product in many of today's businesses, the need to manage the value stream from development to production is critical to ensure consistency of information, compliance and supply chain collaboration.In order to consistently deliver high velocity and quality of applications, engineering teams require visibility into how code is moving from dev to prod in a stable and efficient manner. Just as Observability is changing the way teams managing their applications in production, the concepts of observability apply to the entire software value stream.

For Helm Chart Dependencies, Depend on ChartCenter

ChartCenter is a free Helm chart central repository that was built to help the Helm community find immutable, secure, and reliable charts for publicly available Kubernetes apps. With ChartCenter, you have a single source of truth to proxy all public charts from one, always available location. Without ChartCenter, you need to add each Helm chart’s repository to the Helm client for every Kubernetes app you want to install and update.

[Webinar] Kubernetes Applications Log Monitoring For DevOps With JFrog And Platform9

By design Kubernetes applications generate a high volume of log data across what could be hundreds of nodes. Centralized logging becomes critical for production applications, as it is otherwise near-impossible to quickly find the correct log file, and logs can be lost when pods crash.

Migrate NGINX from "stable" Helm Charts Repo with ChartCenter

For the last four years, anyone wanting to deploy the Ingress NGINX Controller for Kubernetes would find its official Helm chart nginx-ingress in the stable repository maintained by the Helm project. Those days are over. And not just for NGINX, the most popular Ingress Controller used as a reverse proxy and load balancer, but for all open-source K8s apps. With the advent of Helm 3, the Helm project is deprecating the stable repositories.

10 Helm Tutorials to Start your Kubernetes Journey

The growth of Kubernetes has been stellar and K8s applications have grown in importance and complexity. Today, even configuring a single application can require creating many interdependent K8s sources that each depend on writing a detailed YAML manifest file. With this in mind, Helm as a package manager for Kubernetes is a major way users can make their K8s configurations reusable.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how to easily increase your release velocity while ensuring security and reliability using JFrog Distribution. Learn how JFrog Distribution can help overcome limited bandwidth networks and network lag, allowing you to accomplish updates with speed and reliability.

JFrog Platform Performance with Datadog Analytics

Faithful operation of your JFrog Platform can be best assured by tracking usage data of Artifactory and Xray. With insights gained through real-time observability and log analytics, you can boost the efficiency of your DevOps pipeline and keep your software releases running joyfully. Datadog is a SaaS-based data analytics platform that is a popularly used monitoring service for cloud-scale applications. It’s a data analysis platform that can be readily enabled for JFrog Platform monitoring through our integrations.

Godoc in GoCenter Tells A Go Module's Story

Using an open-source Go module from the community of other developers can be like going on a blind date. That “getting to know you” phase that can be awkward and risky. The more you know in advance, the better off you’ll be, right? When using software, having accurate and precise documentation is one of the most important aspects. Good software documentation tells the story of what a particular piece of code does and how to use it.

Best Practices for Onboarding JFrog Xray

Introducing, adding, or replacing a new SCA (Software Composition Analysis) tool such as JFrog Xray into your SDLC, if not handled correctly, can be very disruptive to the SDLC and organization. This blog post provides recommended best practices for onboarding JFrog Xray; in order to reduce disruption, improve adoption, and shift left to create a DevSecOps behaviour.
