As corporations grow, the need to organize user data and assets into a hierarchical structure becomes critical to to simplify storage access of those assets. LDAP enables organizations to store, manage, and secure information about the organization, its users, and assets. In this guide, we’ll explain what LDAP is, its uses, and how it works.
To understand the impact that stovepipes have on incident response, one need look no further than the 9/11 terrorist attacks that occurred in the United States. The CIA, DoD, and FBI all knew about the Al Qaeda terror threats before the planes hit the World Trade Center, but the 9/11 Commission found that a lack of data and intelligence sharing among the agencies limited each agency’s understanding of the looming terrorist threat; thereby, limiting their incident response.
COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers have collectively agreed to release 12 billion vaccine doses globally in 2021, according to McKinsey & Company research, provided they all pass clinical trials. However, turning those vaccines into vaccinations is a colossal undertaking that requires significant coordination. In January, we announced our Vaccine Administration Management (VAM) solution to simplify that effort.
Managing IT infrastructure is impossible without proper monitoring solutions and tools. Monitoring requires regular checks on the status, and the best way to gather details would be in the form of reports. Advanced IT monitoring solutions provide an automatic diagnosis of performance and availability issues across your IT network; manual interventions help optimize the process. Manual interventions make sure you don’t miss out on any warning signs before reaching the critical points.
AWS Fargate is a technology that you can use with Amazon ECS to run containers without having to manage servers or clusters of Amazon EC2 instances. With AWS Fargate, you no longer have to provision, configure, or scale clusters of virtual machines to run containers. This removes the need to choose server types, decide when to scale your clusters, or optimize cluster packing. In short, users offload the virtual machines management to AWS while focusing on task management.
In this article, we are going to look at the architecture of Apache ActiveMQ and how to monitor critical metrics of ActiveMQ using Hosted Prometheus and Hosted Grafana. If you would like to follow the steps in this blog, make sure to sign up for the MetricFire free trial. You can use Graphite and Grafana directly from our platform. MetricFire is a Hosted Graphite, Grafana and Prometheus service, where we do the setup and management of these open-source tools so you don’t have to.
Like many companies, we have a Hack Week at Sentry. In 2017, we coded an app which blared entrance music for anyone who stepped foot in our office. In 2019, we encouraged folks to be nice on the Internet. Noble causes, sure, but for this year’s Hack Week I was determined to advance a cause near and dear to my cold British heart: dark mode.
To prevent failure and minimize downtime, it’s important to make sure your infrastructure and applications are observable. But, just getting to the point of observability isn’t enough. You need to be able to use the data that comes with observability — ideally in a way that helps your team troubleshoot more quickly and minimize or prevent downtime.
The rapid pace of updates and upgrades to operating systems, software frameworks, libraries, programming language versions – a boon to the future of fast-paced software development, has also come to slightly bite us in the back because of having to manage these very many dependencies with their different versions across different environments.
