The State of Robotics - March 2021

It’s never too late to learn. As any reinforcement learning agent, we get rewarded by the new knowledge that we acquire. Likewise, we learn by doing, by rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. (Do you want a hands-on book on Reinforcement Learning? Here is my personal favourite) March has shown us great examples of this. From robots learning to encourage social participation to detect serious environmental problems, it was a learning month.

How Can I Silence Alerts?

Yes, there is the ability to silence or disable alerts in Graylog. There are times in IT environments where you know you are going to generate specific events in your network. As an example, you are patching servers, upgrading hardware components, and many other things. These types of activities are very common during maintenance windows.

Visualizing your CloudFormation Template with Stackery

Stackery can be used to create a new CloudFormation template or to quickly visualize an existing one. Code is automatically generated as you simply drag-and-drop resources on a graphical grid. The experience is much more intuitive than previous generation tools like AWS CloudFormation Designer. Stackery visualizes resources the way a human would perceive them, grouping related resources together.

HAProxy Forwards Over 2 Million HTTP Requests per Second on a Single Arm-based AWS Graviton2 Instance

For the first time, a software load balancer exceeds 2-million RPS on a single Arm instance. A few weeks ago, while I was working on an HAProxy issue related to thread locking contention, I found myself running some tests on a server with an 8-core, 16-thread Intel Xeon W2145 processor that we have in our lab. Although my intention wasn’t to benchmark the proxy, I observed HAProxy reach 1.03 million HTTP requests per second.

How we use metamonitoring Prometheus servers to monitor all other Prometheus servers at Grafana Labs

One of the big questions in monitoring can be summed up as: Who watches the watchers? If you rely on Prometheus for your monitoring, and your monitoring fails, how will you know? The answer is a concept known as metamonitoring. At Grafana Labs, a handful of geographically distributed metamonitoring Prometheus servers monitor all other Prometheus servers and each other cross-cluster, while their alerting chain is secured by a dead-man’s-switch-like mechanism.
