Calico was designed from the ground up with a pluggable dataplane architecture. The Calico 3.13 release introduced an exciting new eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) dataplane targeted at those ready to adopt newer kernel versions and wanting to push the Linux kernel’s latest networking capabilities to the limit.

Today, we are excited to share the first in a series of Employee Experience (EX) focused eBooks, helping you understand how Catchpoint can be used to ensure you get the best digital performance for your employees. In this eBook, we focus on five use cases, demonstrating through examples, how to best utilize digital experience monitoring for G Suite.

Pandora FMS has become well known as a reliable, flexible advanced network monitoring solution. It allows businesses of all sizes to monitor and manage network and hardware issues in real time, and integrates all of the monitored terminals, servers, and other entities into a centralized system. These features mean that Pandora FMS has become the go-to choice for small businesses looking to deploy advanced network monitoring technologies for the first time.

This post is the third in our Kubernetes observability tutorial series, where we explore how you can monitor all aspects of your applications running in Kubernetes, including: We’ll discuss using Elastic Observability to perform application performance monitoring (APM) with the Elastic APM.

Customers regularly ask me what types of data sources they should be sending to their SIEMs to get the most value out of the solution. The driver for these conversations is often because the customers have been locked into a SIEM product where they have to pay more for consumption. More log data equals more money and, as a result, enterprises have to make a difficult choice around what log sources and data are what they guess is the most important.

Keeping a server running optimally on a consistent basis involves managing multiple system elements simultaneously. Automated scripts and specialized software can handle the tasks your server needs to complete on a daily basis—but when one of these experiences an error, it can throw the entire system off.

Solutions for challenging technical problems shouldn’t result in a whole set of new ones. Sometimes, we make things harder on ourselves by choosing the new hotness to tackle technical problems (such as scaling infrastructure). We may be solving our problem in an interesting and fun way, but we bring on more complexity (and more problems) as a result of that technology choice.

Pitney Bowes, a global package delivery giant, has been hit by a second ransomware attack in less than seven months, according to ZDNet. Those responsible for the attack have released screenshots portraying directory listings from inside the company’s network. What is Maze ransomware and what makes it so special?

Log messages help us to understand data flow through applications, as well as spot when and where errors are occurring. There are a lot of resources for how to store and view logs for applications running on traditional services, but Kubernetes breaks the existing model by running many applications per server and abstracting away most of the maintenance for your applications. In this blog post, we focus on log management for applications running in Kubernetes by reviewing the following topics.

iPod to iPhone. Breaking Bad to Better Call Saul. Super Mario to Mario Maker. Leaders don’t rest on their laurels. That’s what motivated us to create Performance, our new code monitoring offering: to build off our core functionality and toward the demands developers face, both today and in the future.
