This article was written by Codebase, a UC Berkeley student organization. Hello InfluxData community! We are a team from Codebase, a UC Berkeley student organization that builds software projects for high-growth tech companies. This past semester, the eight of us had the incredible opportunity to work with InfluxData to add cloud-controlled configuration management features to Telegraf.
Even before new hybrid workforce models, many companies already moved a lot of services to the cloud. COVID-19 digital transformation strategies instantly increased the number of access points and endpoints. This led to a rapid increase in event log data followed by all kinds of other issues -- performance, availability, security, and ultimately increased IT costs amongst other things. A centralized log management solution for your cloud environment can help you manage the above and more.
As government agencies accelerate migrating their operations to the cloud, they need to adhere to strict compliance and security standards. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) provides the standard that these agencies—and their private-sector partners—must meet to work and manage federal data safely in the cloud.
Monitoring is a major part of a Managed Service Provider or MSP. After all, it emerged as remote management and monitoring (RMM) of servers.

Managed service providers take care of all the IT infrastructure of their clients.
In this article we explore the basics of monitoring Amazon Web Services (AWS) by feeding metrics to Grafana through Hosted Graphite’s agent and also through Hosted Graphite’s AWS add-on. This will allow us to monitor metrics from applications and servers hosted in AWS with clarity and depth. This article assumes you have created a Hosted Graphite account.
As part of my job as a tech evangelist and a pre-sales engineer here at SquaredUp, I often find myself talking to a lot of people. And understandably, when you as a consumer are trying to evaluate a product that you may potentially invest in, it’s only natural that you want to compare different products and decide which one’s better and/or offers more value for money and why.
Syslog takes its name from the System Logging Protocol. It is a standard for message logging and has been in use for decades to send system logs or event messages to a specific server, called a Syslog Server.
In a previous post, we went through a few input plugins like the file input plugin, the TCP/UDP input plugins, etc for collecting data using Logstash. In this post, we will see a few more useful input plugins like the HTTP, HTTP poller, dead letter queue, twitter input plugins, and see how these input plugins work.
The Raspberry Pi is a popular and inexpensive device that comes in many shapes and forms. It’s a popular hobbyist tool that is generally purchased to run all kinds of software experiments on. But make no mistake, even though a Raspberry Pi comes in a tiny form factor, it’s a fully functional computer!
