Predict Patch Compliance Before It's Too Late | Ivanti

Stop guessing whether you'll meet patch compliance deadlines. Every day, IT and security teams race against the clock to remediate vulnerabilities and meet compliance targets. The problem? Most organizations don't know they're going to miss those targets until it's already too late. Predictive Remediation from Ivanti changes that by giving you authoritative data on your deployment history and a forward-looking view of your compliance trajectory against SLAs.

12 Confluence Cloud Setups Every DevOps Team Needs

DevOps teams generate documentation constantly, and most of it is written under pressure. Runbooks are typed at 2 a.m. during an incident. Architecture notes appear in chat threads. Release steps live in one engineer's head until that engineer goes on holiday. The research backs up the cost. DORA, the program behind the Accelerate State of DevOps reports, measures documentation quality with eight metrics covering clarity, findability and reliability, and found it drives the implementation of every single technical practice it studied.

RISE with SAP Shared Responsibility: Security Monitoring Guide

Avantra handles RISE with SAP security monitoring for the layer that stays with the customer under the RISE with SAP shared responsibility model. SAP operates the infrastructure, network, database, and operating system, while the customer still owns application configuration, users and authorizations, custom code, and requesting the SAP Security Notes that SAP doesn’t apply proactively.

SAP Security Patch and Vulnerability Monitoring Guide

Avantra monitors SAP security patch status across entire landscapes, checking each newly published SAP HotNews note against every managed system and tracking which systems still need it. It covers the patch side of SAP vulnerability management, which is a different job from code-level vulnerability scanning.

When you have a question, not a dashboard to build: the Metrics explorer and recording rule templates

Dashboards answer the questions you knew you would ask. The other kind — “is it only this server, or all of them?”, “since when?”, “what does memory look like on the ones that restarted?” — used to start with creating a dashboard, adding a widget, picking a metric, and deleting the whole thing afterwards. Bleemeo now has a page for those questions. It is called Metrics: you write a PromQL query, run it, and look at the answer.

VictoriaLogs Has Now a Long Term Support (LTS) Release

VictoriaLogs now runs in production everywhere, and many teams running it have told us the same thing: everyone wants new features, but it’s hard to keep upgrading their logging backend every few weeks. They want the mix of stability and up-to-date security that only LTS releases can satisfy. We’re happy to announce the first Long Term Support (LTS) release of VictoriaLogs: v1.52.1. This is the start of a new v1.52.x LTS line.

Dismantling Datadog's Monolith with Agentic AI - Developer Track

AI can write code, but how does it do with a large, organically built codebase with years of development? Datadog’s monolithic webapp had significant scale and support challenges, so we knew the time had come to break it up. But when the code has been written, revised and tweaked so many times (as we keep adding new features and capabilities), by so many teams, that becomes much harder.

New in Obkio: Share Your Network Diagnosis and Show Your ISP Exactly What's Wrong

You know the conversation. Calls are choppy, users are complaining, and Obkio shows packet loss on the path to your ISP. You open a ticket, and they reply, "Everything looks fine on our end."

With one click, you can create a read-only link to any Network Monitoring Session and send it to anyone.

Putting Amazon ECS on the map

Say "ECS" and most people picture serverless containers: no nodes to manage, and nothing underneath you are allowed to touch. For an eBPF-based agent that is a dead end. There is no host to run on, no privileged containers, no kernel to attach to. But ECS is not always serverless. With the EC2 launch type you bring the nodes and ECS brings the scheduler: task definitions, services, rolling deployments, daemons, placement.
