The Citrix Print Manager Service is part of the Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA) software which runs on a single or multi session machine. It is used for the Citrix Advanced Universal Printing Architecture. It takes care of the client printer mappings between a user client and the VDA within an ICA session. This service heavily relies on the Windows Print Spooler service which spools print jobs and handles interaction with the printer.

These days, administrators typically have to deploy multiple tools to search through all of their datasets – then they get to spend the little free time they have left over dreaming of a world where they could search multiple distributed datasets simultaneously, similar to existing web search tools. They might have one tool for Splunk, another for Elastic, and some may even still be using grep or some other cumbersome function to search non-correlated data.

The transition to distributed applications is in full swing, driven mainly by our need to be “always-on” as consumers and fast-paced businesses. That need is driving deployments to have more complex requirements along with the ability to be globally diverse and rapidly innovate.

For retail and e-commerce companies, exponential traffic spikes are a holiday season tradition that often peaks on Black Friday. And Ulta Beauty knows this all too well.

Sound familiar?

Profiling is an important tool in every developer’s toolkit because it provides a granular view into the execution of your program from your production environment. This is an important concept, as performance bottlenecks can often be very hard or even impossible to reproduce locally due to external constraints or loads only seen in a production environment. Python is one of the most popular programming languages available, and it is one of the core technologies we use at Sentry.

We’re proud to announce that we have received ISO 27001 certification. This certification is another significant milestone for Mezmo this year.

People often ask us, “What is the best query language to use with InfluxDB?” The answer to this question has evolved a bit over the years – and the current answer might surprise you.
