Today you likely have one or more legacy APM (Application Performance Monitoring) solutions. You are moving from a monolithic architecture to microservices, and you are accelerating your journey to Cloud, and you need to deliver at speed with scale and quality to your customers. Sadly, visibility into these results are limited to each of these solutions and their interfaces.

The Splunk Dataflow template is an indispensable tool that allows Google Cloud customers to easily engineer a horizontally scalable and fault-tolerant logging export pipeline into Splunk® Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform™.

Canary deployment is a risk mitigation strategy for software releases. it allows applications developers to limit the damage caused by the release of faulty software updates and roll back such faulty updates quickly and safely without compromising the entire software assets.

Here’s a direct quote from an IT Manager I spoke with recently: “We’ve been using virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for a large percentage of employees for a few years now, but between you and me, it’s been a mess.

So you’re interested in time series databases, and you decided to explore InfluxDB Cloud or InfluxDB v2. Perhaps you just created a free account or downloaded the binary, and now you’re playing around with the InfluxDB User Interface (UI) and learning Flux. The hardest thing for beginners to understand are the return results from a Flux query or Annotated CSV.

You’re likely familiar with local debugging—the ability to go through your code line by line to find and eliminate bugs. However, with the ever-increasing complexity of development environments, working efficiently with remote systems is becoming more necessary. In this case, “remote” can mean any machine you don’t have native OS-level access to, such as Virtual Machines, Docker containers, and entirely separate devices accessed over the network.

When we detect something wrong with your site (it is down, a broken link is detected, the certificate is invalid, ...), we can notify you via one of the many notification channels we support. One of those channels is Pushover, an excellent service to send native notifications to mobile devices. We have supported Pushover since we launched a couple of years ago. Now, we've added a nice option that several of our users we're asking for: setting the priority.

The past year has been significant for continued development of both DevOps practices and new developments across the open source community. To that end, Logz.io is moving forward with renewed support for the Fluentd log shipper. This new proxy will serve as an alternative to Filebeat and Logstash, which recently moved away from open source licensing. Additionally, this integration utilizes an HTTP proxy instead of the SOCKS5 proxy necessary for Filebeat.
