Think Like a Query with Pablo Loaiza - Customer Brown Bag - April 24, 2025

Join us as we discuss how to approach real-world questions, translate them into queries, and refine them for maximum efficiency. Hands-on examples teach you how to filter effectively, compare historical data, correlate events, and troubleshoot common challenges.

Part 2: Solving the Top 10 Problems with Vulnerability Management

Once again, we're back with all the answers. Traditional vulnerability management comes with many pitfalls, and we're counting down the solutions to all the problems you might be running into. Ivanti's Chris Goettl and Robert Waters break down the back five on our list: a periodic approach to remediation, poor prioritization, lack of business context, overreliance on patch management, and poor metrics and reporting.

Introducing the Causely data source plugin for Grafana

Endre Sara is a Co-Founder of Causely, where he’s building a causal reasoning platform to continuously assure service reliability and eliminate human troubleshooting. Previously, Endre was VP of Advanced Engineering at Turbonomic and a VP at Goldman Sachs. At Causely, we believe observability tools shouldn’t just collect more data—they should enable you to understand it.

CloudTrail Pricing Guide: Save On AWS Logging

Logging and auditing activity across your AWS environment is a must for security, governance, and compliance. Yet, between management events, data events, and optional insights, it’s easy to overspend on tracking activity without realizing it. In this guide, we’ll break down CloudTrail pricing in plain terms and see what impacts your final bill. We’ll also share immediately actionable ways to keep your CloudTrail costs in check without sacrificing full observability.

Tracking Azure Elastic Jobs using Redgate Monitor

Redgate Monitor has long helped data teams and DBAs keep track of SQL Agent Jobs. Now, with version 14.0.53, it extends that visibility to Azure Elastic Jobs, giving you a centralized view of all your scheduled tasks, whether they run on SQL Server, Azure SQL Managed Instances, or Azure SQL Databases.

Breaking Down Silos with Correlation and Context

In modern IT environments, data is abundant, but clarity is rare. Enterprises deploy dozens of monitoring tools to collect metrics, events, and logs from across the network, yet when something goes wrong, teams still scramble to connect the dots. Why? Because these data streams exist in siloes, isolated by format, source, or system.

Why you need Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM)

A few decades ago, monitoring your application was simple—everything ran on-premises, and performance issues were easier to pinpoint. But today, applications are built on globally distributed services, running across internal and external systems in the cloud, all connected through the Internet. In a world where the Internet is now your network, traditional APM (Application Performance Monitoring) isn’t enough. It only focuses on code and infrastructure, leaving critical blind spots that impact performance, availability, and user experience.

PostgreSQL vs. AlloyDB Omni: understanding the differences

AlloyDB Omni is more than just a re-implementation of PostgreSQL, and understanding how it is similar – and how it differs – from open source PostgreSQL is a valuable exercise.
