Have you ever been in a situation where something in your Icinga configuration did not work as expected and you ended up doing small changes and reloading Icinga over and over again? This can be especially tricky with apply rules and filters if they don’t match the objects you hope for. This post will show you how you can use the Icinga Script Debugger in this situation to get an interactive console in the context where the apply rule or filter is evaluated.

Whether this is the third time you are looking at the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK® evaluation results or your first, you may be asking yourself: what was unique about this year’s evaluation? Well, let’s first start with: who is MITRE Engenuity? They are a tech foundation that collaborates with the private sector on many initiatives — most notably cybersecurity — and in recent years have become synonymous with cyber threat evaluations.

With everything going on in the world, it seems like a lifetime ago that we started talking about the Splunk Operator for Kubernetes, which enables customers to easily deploy, scale, and manage Splunk Enterprise on their choice of cloud environment.

Experts predict that by 2025 we’ll have more than 75 billion connected devices, a number almost triple that recorded in 2019. With networks becoming far more dynamic and complex than ever before, the ability to find IP addresses on the network is essential. As well, people are connecting to company networks with an ever-increasing number of devices, leading to increased risk not only in security but also in maintenance and management.

The shift to remote work changed the way IT teams collaborate. Instead of walking over to a colleague’s desk, co-workers collaborate digitally. Looking forward, many companies will continue some form of remote work by taking a hybrid approach. Root cause analysis in IT will always require collaboration as teams look to improve service availability and prevent problems. Sitting in front of the same screen and looking at the same data makes it easy to discuss problems.

We set out with a plan this year to nurture and grow our developer ecosystem. In 2020, we launched our Template Library to empower joint users of LogDNA and our partners to have an out-of-the-box logging experience from every layer of their stack. As the use of these templates has grown, users have told us that they save them time from manually creating Views, Boards, and Screens, and helps them gain insight from their logs much quicker.
