When drift happens within a database, it can occur at a couple of different levels. Drift refers to entities—tables, views, or even data—out of synchronization with each other. This could be a difference in schema structure, data, or even operational metadata like permissions. Often, drifts happen between two different environments like development and staging databases.

If you’re anywhere in the Queensland region of northern Australia, look out. There’s an eight-foot-nine-inch-long (2.65 meters) crocodile, deceptively named Danny-Boy, who might be looking for a snack. Specifically, if you’re anywhere near -12.975388, 141.987344, you should stay on your toes. That’s the last place Danny-Boy was sighted. So unless you want your pipes to be calling, keep your eyes peeled.

JFrog Security research teams are constantly looking for new and previously unknown vulnerabilities in popular open-source projects to help improve their security posture. As part of this effort, we recently discovered a potentially critical vulnerability in HAProxy, a widely used open-source load balancer proxy server that is particularly suited for very high traffic web sites and used by many leading companies.

Most developers and administrators think that adding a CDN-hosted static file improves performance. A CDN's fast edge servers cache content and deliver it based on the user’s geolocation. These cached servers are faster than a traditional single hosting server, and developers have received the benefit of convenience.

Today we are happy to announce the release of Icinga for Windows v1.6.0, which we already demonstrated on YouTube last week. This is one of our largest releases so far, as we improve the entire usability, flexibility, and security of Icinga for Windows.

A variance analysis report is used to measure actual performance against your budgeted or planned performance. From a finance perspective, it’s essentially a way to measure your organization’s planning effectiveness. While there are a number of reasons you might be surprised by your variance analysis, it can be a signal that something went wrong along the way and you have not been collaborating with your team, are using the wrong tools, or have ineffective processes.

Today we will talk about one of the most versatile elements that Pandora FMS Enterprise offers us for monitoring distributed environments, the Satellite server. It will allow you to monitor different networks remotely, without the need to have connectivity directly from the monitoring environment with the computers that make it up.

Ensuring a seamless customer experience is a growing challenge for digital technology providers. Yet, as functionality and a customer base scale, predictability can become challenging.

Security testing is a key component of software quality. A program may meet functionality and performance requirements, but that does not guarantee security. In this blog post I will present different security testing methods and provide a few tips for conducting a more secure code review. But first, let’s understand what software security is intended for.

The journey to becoming cloud-native comes with great benefits but also brings challenges. One of these challenges is the volume of operational data from cloud-native deployments — data comes from the cloud infrastructure, ephemeral application components, user activity, and more. The increased number of data sources does not only increase datapoint volume – it also requires that monitoring systems store and query against data with higher cardinality than ever before.
