Dynamic presentations with Canvas

Canvas is data visualization and presentation tool that sits within Kibana. It allows us to pull live data directly from Elasticsearch and combine it with colours, images and text in order to create dynamic and visually appealing presentations. This talk will cover the basics of building your first presentation based on the live data from Elasticsearch. If you enjoy immersing yourself in the creative process while applying your technical skills, you should join us for this talk.

Elastic Observability Engineer Training Preview: Structuring data

Hello! This session will be delivered virtually by Tamara Rosini and Lutf Ur Rehman, Education Engineers at Elastic. They will guide us through the new Elastic Observability Engineer course while providing tips on how to structure data properly as an observability best practice. Properly parsing and structuring your data is an important first step in building an efficient and effective observability solution using the Elastic Stack. Effectively indexing and structuring data into Elasticsearch is critical for establishing efficient search criteria and effective results.

GrafanaCONline: Grafana plugins

With Grafana 7.0 we are graduating our packages for Plugin Developers to a beta stage. These packages (@grafana/ui, @grafana/data, @grafana/runtime and last but not least @grafana/toolkit) are aimed to simplify the developer experience for those who wish to extend the Grafana platform. In this webinar I’ll present key ideas behind these packages and the way how you can use them to build for the Grafana Platform and create consistent experiences for the audience of your plugins.

GrafanaCONline: Chrome browsing data to Grafana - as you browse

Chrome Devtools is used by all web developers to debug and inspect network traffic. Sometimes the page loads sluggishly, and then you open Devtools and reload the page, and the problem is gone. What if you wanted to know how well the site performs, for example, when you click six pages? While it is possible to keep the tab open at all times, it is hard to see the big picture from the data in the network tab. This is a wonderful use case for time series and Grafana! In this presentation I will show how to get the same data visualized in Grafana in near real time (1s delay) without opening the Devtools at all.

How to Monitor for Unauthorized Changes to Your Linux Packages With SCM

Packages keep your Linux servers up to date and running smoothly. Yet if someone tampers with the packages getting deployed to your server, you could have serious performance issues, expose your organization to harmful viruses, or open it up a new vulnerability. Keeping an eye out for what packages are deployed, the package sources, and how they're changed could help prevent or alert you to an issue. In this video, we'll show you how to gain visibility into your Linux packages and track how they're changing over time.

Schedule Security Scans in Rancher 2.4

Rancher 2.4, the latest release of Rancher’s Kubernetes management platform, includes a new CIS security scanning feature.
