Splunk Operator 1.1.0 Released: Monitoring Console Strikes Back!
The latest version of the Splunk Operator builds upon the release we made last year with a whole host of new features and fixes. We like Kubernetes for Splunk since it allows us to automate away a lot of the Splunk Administrative toil needed to set up and run distributed environments. It also brings a resiliency and ease of scale to our heavy-lifting components like Search Heads and Indexer Clusters.
Intro to Flux Data Structure
Flux is the native data language for the InfluxDB platform. Here, Scott Anderson discusses the 'stream of tables' concept, how that relates to Flux's data structure.
Intro to Flux Functions
Functions are the building blocks of the Flux scripting language. Here, Scott Anderson describes what Flux functions are, how they work, and how to use them.
Optimizing Flux Queries for InfluxDB
Flux Queries are scripts that let you work with your data in InfluxDB. Here, Scott Anderson provides some tips for optimizing Flux queries, so that your data and applications are more performant.
Intro to Checks and Notifications
The InfluxDB platform provides several different types of checks and notifications to keep you informed about how your application is functioning. Here, Zoe Steinkamp outlines the key concepts behind checks and notifications in InfluxDB.
Checks and Notifications in Action
In another video, Zoe Steinkamp discussed what checks and notifications in InfluxDB are. Here, she uses a real world example to demonstrate how and when to use the different types of checks and notifications available in InfluxDB.

How to Write a Custom Terraform Provider Automatically With OpenAPI
So you’ve just been tasked with creating a Terraform Provider (or maybe upgrading an existing one). As you do your research to prepare for the project, you slowly begin to realize, “well this looks like I’ll just be developing a Terraform specific wrapper for a client of my API.” It’s not particularly difficult, but it seems tedious. Is there a better way to build this? Maybe something that can be modular and automated? A way that’s actually stimulating to implement?
