In this article, we will show how it’s easily possible to monitor AWS Fargate with Sysdig Monitor. By leveraging existing Prometheus ingestion in Sysdig, you will be able to monitor serverless services with a single-pane-of-glass approach, giving you confidence in running these services in production.

Nathan Foreman, our solutions superstar here at Cookdown, shares his knowledge on how to successfully blend data sources to create a beautifully populated CMDB, as well as tips on how to customise and maintain data quality. Nathan talked us through the process of using ServiceNow’s out of the box Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE) to ensure a smooth integration of a multi-source CMDB.

Running your software on dynamic infrastructure means that your monitoring platform needs to change dynamically. Variables let you reuse a single dashboard for all your services. Select the service you want to inspect from a drop-down menu, and watch panels update to only show you metrics from that service. Grafana lets you create dynamic dashboards using template variables. Any variables in your queries interpolate the current value of the variable before the query is sent to the database.

Have you ever lost power to a server? Did it ever reboot on its own? Wouldn’t it be nice to prevent power outage to IT devices? If this is something you’ve experienced in the past, there are ways to simplify power monitoring and avoid some of the outages that can be caused by power issues. This article will focus on using power consumption data from a rack power distribution unit (rPDU) and how to simplify the process.

The military has invested significant time and money implementing edge computing on the battlefield. The Army’s efforts to leverage the tactical cloud to process data on the edge gets information into soldiers’ hands more quickly, allowing them to make decisions in near-real time. But these benefits come with significant challenges, particularly regarding security. The more endpoints, the larger the potential attack surface and the greater the risk.
