New in Grafana 7.0: Data transformations for all visualizations that support queries

Among the many new features introduced in Grafana 7.0, one of the most exciting ones is transformations. The concept of data transformation is not new to Grafana, but prior to Grafana 7, it was fairly rigid and available only in the Table panel.

IT and OT Convergence

OpsRamp and Mystic River are joining forces to bring you this interactive webinar. Can we create gateways between IT and OT? IT/OT convergence has been defined as the integration of information technology (IT) systems used for data-centric computing with operational technology (OT) systems used to monitor events, processes and devices and make adjustments in enterprise and industrial operations. But what this will look like and what is the new role of IT operations management? What is changing in IT and OT to align these worlds? This Tech Talk features our partner Mystic River Consulting, a firm with proven, repeatable service delivery methodologies and a proprietary platform that drives transformational IT project results, at a game changing speed. We’ll discuss the convergence of IT and OT and dive into a demonstration to show what’s possible with OpsRamp. Also, follow us on social media channels to learn about product highlights, news, announcements, events, conferences and more -

Taming Legacy Code With Characterization Tests

Developers make fun of legacy systems because we're scared of them. We're afraid that the tiniest change will cause the app to break in unexpected ways. We're afraid we won't realize it until a customer complains. One way to combat this fear is through testing. In this article, José Manuel shows us how to retrofit legacy systems with acceptance test suites so we can maintain them with less fear and more confidence.

Top 4 must-monitor API Gateway metrics

Marc Andreessen famously said, “Software is eating the world.” Dr. Steve Willmott subsequently retorted, “APIs are eating software.” This is because API based architectures are enabling companies to get away from monolithic architectures and move to microservices. Innovative, disruptive companies like Netflix, Airbnb, Uber, Square, and Slack all build their infrastructure and technology using APIs.

CFEngine in a High Performance Computing environment

In High-Performance Computing (HPC) uptime and performance are very important. HPC is an area of computing that often focuses on research and development, supporting teams with extremely complex problems they need to solve, and heavy computation mathematical problems, such as protein folding for vaccine development. To achieve this, HPC systems rely on high performance, the equipment is expensive, and the average customer has very high demands.
