Jupyter Notebooks are wonderful because they provide a way to share code, explanations, and visualizations in the same place. Notebooks add narrative to computation. The cells compartmentalize steps and reduce the fear or hesitation associated with editing code. In this way, notebooks act as an invitation for experimentation. Today, I want to extend that invitation and apply it to InfluxDB. In this post, we’ll learn how to query our system stats data from InfluxDB v2.0 using Flux.

Remember when you wanted great alerts, so you read our past two blogs about cyclical statistical forecasts and anomalies? Hopefully, the techniques in those blogs gave you some great results. Here we’re going to show you another way of finding anomalies in your data using a slightly different technique.

Over the past 24 months or so, I have been studying investing/trading while also working to become more proficient with Splunk. I like to combine activities and gain momentum, so I decided stock market and economic data would be the perfect way to dig deeper into Splunk and hopefully improve my investing/trading. In the beginning, I only looked at it as a way to learn more about Splunk while using data that was interesting to me.

In so many ways, speed is a security analyst’s best friend. From threat detection to containment to response – the faster you are, the more secure your business will be. It’s exactly why metrics like dwell time, MTTD (mean time to detect) and MTTR (mean time to respond) exist. It’s a barometer for the strength of your organization’s security, and a gauge of success for any good security team.

Early last year, we launched the Integration Platform to enable any developer to easily create integrations and workflows on top of Sentry. As we continue to build out the platform, we want to give developers visibility into how their integrations are doing. With that, we present the Integration Dashboard!

Properly monitoring the health and performance of Docker containers is an essential skill for solo developers and large teams alike. As your infrastructure grows in complexity, it’s important to streamline every facet of the performance of your apps/services. Plus, it’s essential that the tools you use to make those performance decisions work across teams, and allow for complex scaling architectures.

Breadcrumbs can help you debug client-side JavaScript applications, and are available to all Honeybadger customers as of today. One of the things that makes fixing JavaScript errors so difficult is that everything happens on the client-side. When an obscure error happens in a callback, you often lack the context to reproduce it. If the error is critical, you may even resort to deploying debug code to get more information about the events leading up to it.

As engineering teams grow, obvious difficulties arise. It’s simple math. You can’t keep up with everyone, and everything, in the same way as you did when the team was small. To maintain the high level of impact you’ve always had, your ways of working need to change.

A domain in “Registrar Lock” status means the registrar for that domain has locked the domain to prevent any unauthorized domain transfers / changes. Our domain monitor can check domain expirations but did you now you can also check domain locks?

Asset management is not just about collecting inventory, it’s about how we document, track, and control every IT asset. Below are five key benefits that every IT asset management system should provide. IT asset management dashboards provide complete visibility into every system within an organization. The knowledge that is provided from IT asset reports can be used to make informed decisions about IT strategy and IT asset acquisitions.
