Students throughout the U.S. faced massive technology and connectivity gaps before the pandemic. Now, with COVID-induced remote learning, the situation is more urgent than ever. Many students cannot afford internet connectivity. Many don’t have personal laptops or tablets. And school districts are struggling to obtain the resources needed to support students who are now dependent on distance learning.
Last month we announced InfluxDB IOx (pronounced: eye-ox), a new Rust and Apache Arrow based core for InfluxDB. While InfluxDB IOx is a columnar database built on top of object storage, that’s only part of its role. In addition to query functionality, one of the big goals of InfluxDB IOx is to help manage the data lifecycle for time series data. This post will cover the design for how InfluxDB IOx plans to manage that data lifecycle.
This blog is part two of Splunk's Sunburst Backdoor response aimed at providing additional guidance to our customers (you can read part one, "Using Splunk to Detect Sunburst Backdoor," by Ryan Kovar). In this blog, we’ll cover how to ingest threat indicators to combat Sunburst Backdoor in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES).
The news of the “Sunburst Backdoor” malware delivered via SolarWinds Orion software has organizations choosing to shut down Orion to protect themselves. This includes several U.S. government organizations following the recent CISA guidance. If you are considering a similar response in your own environment, a critical next step is quickly restoring the lost visibility to the health and operations of your infrastructure.

Website, web application, and API performance is everything. Many factors contribute to performance, such as network latency, use of performance-enhancing practices (use compression), minimizing server requests, and the strength of responding servers and their supporting infrastructure. If server performance is slipping due to load or age, you can find the signs in your reports.
Many of our customers rely on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Well-Architected Framework as a guide to build safe, secure, and performant applications in the cloud. AWS offers the Well-Architected Review (WAR) Tool as a centralized way to track and trend adherence to Well-Architected best practices. It allows users to define workloads and answer a set of questions regarding operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization.
Sematext Logs is a Log Management-as-a-service. Think of it as your own central location for logs in the cloud.
