Hi, I’m Owen, one of the Loki maintainers, and I’m putting proverbial pen to paper to convince you why Loki is important. And this isn’t because it scales (it does) or because I work at Grafana Labs (I do). It’s because of the oft-overlooked and underrepresented organizational benefits. Organizational benefits?! What is this, some sort of cult? Why are you avoiding the technicals? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now, hold on. The technicals are still valid.

Working with Serverless computing is like riding an electric bike. You get speed, flexibility, automatic assistance to scale with ease. Development is usually hassle-free because you can focus on code and only pay for usage of the service. Except when your users hit an error. Debugging that issue feels like your bike’s battery just died while climbing a steep hill.

Watching too many movies might give you the impression that cyber attacks are launched by well-funded masterminds able to control the internet at their whim. But really, successful attacks can be as simple as disguising some malicious software as a link to an often-used site, and tricking people into clicking it, known as phishing. The result is that many cyber attacks are carried out by taking advantage of unsuspecting end users.

Today we will talk about exporting data (such as hosts and services) from Icinga Web 2 into various formats.

Technology is evolving exponentially, and with it the size of the data that needs to be saved increases and the great need to access them quickly, easily and, above all, from anywhere. Every day that goes by, the use of cloud becomes even more essential for companies. For that reason, cloud computing services have started to emerge in order to meet these needs. Among them, Azure.

In today’s world of remote workers and distributed teams, a seamless digital user experience is the most significant aspect driving productivity and collaboration and Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) allows an enterprise or service provider to optimize the performance of critical cloud productivity and collaboration tools, for a smooth user experience.

Log files are infamous for being “noisy”. Without the right management solution, trying to find a specific piece of information or using them to reproduce a critical error is a complex undertaking. If you’re working with CI/CD, how do you attribute new errors to a particular release? How do you investigate those errors and make sure that your customers aren’t being impacted? Faster releases mean shorter development and testing cycles before new code reaches production.

Microservices and distributed architectures have become the norm for building modern day applications. While the cloud has made it easier to deploy and scale microservices, it has opened up a complex set of problems for DevOps by virtue of the sheer volume of interactions between those services.
