If you've been familiar with FireHydrant previously, you've probably started to notice some strange things going on with the FireHydrant brand over the past several months. New pages? New content? New messaging? New colors? Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, we've been making some changes!
Currently, there is no official InfluxDB C language client library. Fortunately, I wanted to do exactly that for capturing Operating System performance statistics for AIX and Linux. This data capturing tool is called “njmon” and is open source on Sourceforge. So having worked out how and developing a small library of 12 functions for my use to make saving data simple, I thought I would share it. I hope it will prove useful for others.
It’s 2021 and somehow, I’m still trying to convince people that content is one of the biggest revenue drivers there is. Back in 2017, there was an influx of “content is king” and “why content is important” blogs on LinkedIn and Medium, but it seems little notice has been taken in the years that have followed.
Network administrators are responsible for the day-to-day operation of computer networks at organizations of any size and scale. Their primary duty is to manage, monitor, and keep a close watch on the network infrastructure to prevent and minimize downtime. Managing a network includes monitoring all the network components, including Windows devices. In any Windows network, the desktops, servers, virtual servers, and virtual machines (VMs), like Hyper-V, run on the Windows operating system.

This means Logz.io users get to leverage log shipping and collector options within the rich ELK ecosystem. So how do you know which log shipping technology to use?
If you’re a RabbitMQ user, chances are that you’ve seen queues growing beyond their normal size. This causes messages to get consumed long after they have been published. If you’re familiar with Kafka monitoring, you’ll call it consumer lag, but in RabbitMQ-land it’s often called queue length or queue depth.
New Relic is one popular for SaaS-based Application Performance Management capable of providing you with a flexible and dynamic approach to monitoring. It is considered to be effective but some may feel it is not cost-effective for small-meidum-size businesses and comes with a very high learning curve. If you want an APM that you can get started quickly, requiring minimal training or experience, New Relic may not be for you.
