Looking back at the unprecedented challenges we faced together in 2020, we’d like to extend our thanks to the community of people who have continued to work towards Netdata’s mission of simplifying monitoring and troubleshooting for everyone. Let’s review some of this year’s highlights.
During a re:Invent keynote on Dec. 15, Amazon announced its AWS Managed Service for Prometheus. The service is built using the CNCF’s Cortex project, the open source, horizontally scalable Prometheus-compatible project that I started with Julius Volz over four years ago. I’d like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to the Prometheus-as-a-Service club! We think you’ve made a good choice choosing Cortex, and see this as a massive vote of confidence in the project.
API tests are key to ensuring your applications receive and respond to requests efficiently. For example, a slow API endpoint or an unexpected timeout in processing a request can significantly affect user experience, so API tests can help you monitor the performance of your endpoints and the overall health of your applications.
Without unified visibility across your entire stack, it can be difficult to investigate backend dependencies when troubleshooting frontend issues, or to track the source of database failures that originate from bad browser requests. Full-stack visibility gives you the insight you need to pinpoint and resolve incidents quickly.

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.
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).
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.
With more people working from home due to the COVID-19 crisis, businesses of all sizes need to know when their employees are working. You need an effective way to track working hours and know what your employees are doing while they are working. One effective way to do this without having to invest in an expensive online time tracking system for employees is by using server monitoring software and file monitoring software.
