Gathering logs that contain IP addresses are quite common across your infrastructure. Your firewalls, web servers, wireless infrastructure and endpoints can contain IP addresses outside your organization. Having additional data on those logs that gives you the Geolocation of the IP address helps in your investigations and understanding of your traffic patterns. For Example, if you can see logs on a World Map, you know if you are communicating to a country you don’t normally talk to.
If you’re an Android user, relying on data from your cellular provider is one way of avoiding the risks of free public Wi-Fi – especially if you don’t have the tools or services necessary to give you full protection.

In this article I will highlight the 6 key docker commands I use on a daily basis while using Docker in the real world. By no means is this an extensive list of commands, I kept it short on purpose so you could use it as a quick reference guide. I’ve also omitted the topic of building images and the commands that are associated with that.
Mattermost is well-known as a flexible, open source messaging platform. But what makes it even more useful is its ability to automate connections with bots and webhooks and to link up to external applications. These automations and connections are known as integrations. Many integrations are available off-the-shelf through the Integrations Directory. But there are lots of ways to create your own.
