Big data analytics help organizations use data to explore both new and improvement opportunities. Whichever cloud data platform you choose, there are two data storage technologies you will want to understand. Data warehouses and data lakes are the two dominant data solutions commonly used for defining how an organization stores, queries, analyzes, and reports on big data. This post will define what a data warehouse and data lake are, how they work, and their differences.

In this article, we will introduce you to the new Pandora FMS Roadmap for the next 24 months (June 2021 – June 2023). For its creation, we had the participation of our clients and partners, who, through a survey, helped us choose all kinds of features and their priority. It’s been really satisfying for us to complete this challenge, as it was one of those enthusiastically proposed among our closest goals.

Monitoring tools, also known as observability solutions, are designed to track the status of critical IT applications, networks, infrastructures, websites and more. The best IT monitoring tools quickly detect problems in resources and alert the right respondents to resolve the critical issues. Response teams use observability solutions to gain real-time insights into resource availability, stability and performance.

We’re happy to announce our integration with Google Meet to create incident bridges automatically. Using the power of FireHydrant Runbooks, a Google Meet can be added with fully customizable titles and agendas based on your incident details.

It is easier to perform application troubleshooting when you know that protocols are in place. For instance, knowing the core features of the application and how the application functions is already a standard. Also, you’ll need to expand the coverage like the requirements of Quality of Service (QoS). Does the application need real-time performance or does it need to move a lot of data? Are there sub-applications running on the endpoints?

Since the initial release of InfluxDB OSS 2.0 in November 2020, more than 10% of the community has successfully upgraded, and the pace of the upgrades continues at a steady rate. We have released a number of maintenance releases to address defects, expand platform coverage, and enhance the update experience based on feedback.

One of the things we needed to either adopt or build for InfluxDB IOx is a database catalog. If you haven’t heard us talk about it yet, InfluxDB IOx (pronounced eye-ox) is the new in-memory columnar database that uses object storage for persistence. We’re building it as the future core of InfluxDB. A database catalog usually contains the definitions of a database’s structure like schema and indexes.

As May draws to a close, it’s that time again to share with you the most surprising websites that went down this month. Now, I don’t like to “out” anyone but I do like to use these to emphasise that website downtime can affect any website, big or small. And ultimately, the impact is the same – potential customers gone elsewhere, higher bounce rate, lower SEO, and worst of all, lost revenue.

With the quantum leap in the adoption of remote work environments, cybercriminals are turning their attention on the security vulnerabilities in these environments. On top of this, protecting remote connections is becoming increasingly difficult because hacking techniques have become more sophisticated. At ManageEngine, we’ve designed a seven-step strategy to help ensure holistic Exchange security: Detect attacks before they cause damage.

Dashboards are a crucial tool in your monitoring arsenal, as they allow you to visualize and correlate telemetry data from across your stack in a single place. Historically, Datadog offered two dashboard types: Screenboards, for pixel-level control on a canvas, and Timeboards, for troubleshooting a specific point in time. Now, we’re excited to introduce a new dashboard layout that combines the best of Timeboards and Screenboards in a single, seamless editing experience.
