Maps have been related to the management and monitoring activities of IT platforms for a long time. Years ago, when there were no tools available to generate the graphical vision we call maps, the documentation of the device that made up the platform was usually carried in tables and diagrams where the existence of the components, their characteristics and relationships were recorded.
Like any other creation in progress or in the making, serverless applications, need to be tested and monitored. How else would you know if what you’ve created is providing desired results? Before putting your “newborn child” out into the world, you must make sure that it’s ready for the world. Software or even hardware of any sort will first be tested before it goes to mass production, and the same goes for your serverless applications.
Jaeger was built from day 1 to be able to ingest huge amounts of data in a resilient way. To better utilize resources that might cause delays, such as storage or network communications, Jaeger buffers and batches data. When more spans are generated than Jaeger is able to safely process, spans might get dropped. However, the defaults might not fit all scenarios: for instance, agents running as a sidecar might have more memory constraints than agents running as a daemon in bare metal.
451 Research analyst, William Fellows, recently authored a Market Impact report titled, OpsRamp is breaking new ground for IT operations management. The report analyzes our latest platform features and innovations for hybrid cloud management use cases.
As mobile and IoT deployments play an increasing role in enterprise networks, organizations are looking to more appropriate architecture—such as edge computing—to relieve their security and device management burdens. Edge computing is still in its relative infancy, and the platforms and services needed to orchestrate edge deployments are evolving themselves. In this article, we’ll be looking at some of the issues and available options.
Filters, the mechanism for allowing and denying events to be handled, have been given a refresh in Sensu Go. These new and improved JavaScript filters give you a way to express business logic through filtering, giving you more awareness of your environment, reducing alert fatigue, and improving performance. In this post, I’ll share what’s new with filters, using examples in Sensu Go. (If you haven’t already, you can download it here.)
Our Real User Monitoring (RUM) product gathers performance data from actual user experiences from all around the globe for enabled pages. For 2018 that meant we collected data from thousands of worldwide users. In this blog, we take a look at the users’ browser choices, the page performance as experienced by the users, and their choices in device types.
The threat landscape has become increasingly diverse and the systems used to attack are more sophisticated than ever before. In 2018, enterprises and organizations of all sizes and across all industries faced serious data breaches (information leaks were experienced by Aadhar —1.1B users; myFitnessPal —150M; Quora—100M; Facebook—29M and many more). One of the biggest victims was Marriot.
