It's Never Too Late to Improve Your Personal Security Posture

Mar 24, 2021 By Chrystal Taylor In SolarWinds
Security is everyone’s responsibility. That’s it. That’s the whole point. (I may be spending too much time with Leon, but it had to be said.) If you have a security team, or even just one person who is tasked with security, it’s easy for the rest of the team or department to fall into a trap, thinking there’s nothing more you need to do. You’re wrong.

Creating Custom Event Views in SQL Sentry

Mar 24, 2021 By Dexter Cox In SolarWinds
If you’re using SQL Sentry regularly, there’s a great event management feature that provides a lot of value for our advanced users. I often find the SQL Sentry Event Calendar isn’t being used as often as it once was. The Event Calendar lets you view historical and future events, drill down into event failures, and reschedule jobs using drag and drop all from within the SQL Sentry desktop client. In addition, you can create custom views of events you need to reference frequently.

Enterprise IT Cost Containment-A Series

Mar 23, 2021 By Leon Adato In SolarWinds
H.L. Mencken once famously wrote, “…there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.” More than just a pithy way to frame the entire concept of “cost containment” (whether network-specific cost, the broader category of IT, or the cost of anything else, to be quite honest), it’s an integral aspect of what I’ll be proposing in this and subsequent articles in this series.

Aggregating Application Logs From EKS on Fargate

Mar 22, 2021 By Jillian Rowe In SolarWinds
Today we’re going to talk about logging with Kubernetes on AWS using CloudWatch and SolarWinds® Papertrail™. We’ll cover setting up Papertrail, installing and configuring the rKubeLog package, viewing the logs in the Papertrail event viewer, and cross-checking those logs with the ones we see with kubectl. From there, we’ll set up a few different alerts.

What Does Server Monitoring Mean in 2021? A Look at Modern Server Options and How to Monitor Them

Mar 22, 2021 By AppOptics In SolarWinds
A few years ago, monitoring was simple. We had all our servers somewhere in the data center; we just had to install a monitoring tool and gather all the data from every server. Things changed when we started moving to the cloud and then to containers. Today, we often need to monitor a variety of different sources. A “server” can be a physical machine, virtual machine, container, or even a serverless application. Therefore, our approach for monitoring needs to change.

Building Service Strength in a Unified ITSM Platform

Mar 22, 2021 By Liz Beavers In SolarWinds
Heading to the gym, you have access to so many amenities in one place: cardio equipment, private studios, a pool, free-weight area, a basketball court. Imagine if those conveniences were located at separate facilities, forcing you to have separate memberships and make different trips to achieve a well-rounded workout – it doesn't bode for the best experience. In a different context, think about your employees' experience as they search for answers across multiple platforms for service providers.

Secure by Design | Securing the Software Development Build Environment

Mar 18, 2021 By SolarWinds In SolarWinds
The recent SUNBURST cyberattack on the SolarWinds software build environment is a concerning new reality for the software industry, representing the increasingly sophisticated actions by outside nation-states on the supply chains and infrastructure on which we all rely. SolarWinds is committed to sharing our learnings about this attack broadly given the common development practices in the industry and our belief that transparency and cooperation are our best tools to help prevent and protect against future attacks.

Mar 18, 2021 By Liz Beavers In SolarWinds
Buying a home requires thoughtful planning and takes a significant amount of time and resources. Beyond your list of must-haves, you’ve likely kept tabs on houses of interest to you, the state of the market, how safe the neighborhood is, and more. Another factor in your decision is how the house is equipped to grow with you—will it continue to meet your needs in the next five years? It’s critical to establish a sound foundation that works for you today and in the future.

Effective Technical Writing Is Essential for Your Organization's Success

Mar 18, 2021 By Melissa Connors In SolarWinds
"No one likes documentation", chirped the little blue birds. The bird quotes in the image above are all taken from real tweets and are listed below for accessibility: I can't argue with "liking to write documentation" being a rare skill, since so many people are vocal about disliking it. That tweet might prove to be true, in which case, technical writers should simply be more appreciated for the rare gems that they are. In this blog post, however, I’m going to explain.
