Experts predict that by 2025 we’ll have more than 75 billion connected devices, a number almost triple that recorded in 2019. With networks becoming far more dynamic and complex than ever before, the ability to find IP addresses on the network is essential. As well, people are connecting to company networks with an ever-increasing number of devices, leading to increased risk not only in security but also in maintenance and management.

The shift to remote work changed the way IT teams collaborate. Instead of walking over to a colleague’s desk, co-workers collaborate digitally. Looking forward, many companies will continue some form of remote work by taking a hybrid approach.

In 2020, we launched our Template Library to empower joint users of LogDNA and our partners to have an out-of-the-box logging experience from every layer of their stack.

In this series, we’ve introduced key HashiCorp Vault metrics and logs to watch, and looked at some ways to retrieve that information with built-in monitoring tools. Vault is made up of many moving parts, including the core, secrets engine, and audit devices. To get a full picture of Vault health and performance, it’s important to track all these components, along with the resources they consume from their underlying infrastructure.

In Part 1, we looked at the key metrics for monitoring the health and performance of your HashiCorp Vault deployment. We also discussed how Vault server and audit logs can give you additional context for troubleshooting issues ranging from losses in availability to policy misconfiguration. Now, we’ll show you how to access this data with tools that ship with Vault.

Keeping digital services reliable is more important than ever. When something goes wrong in production, on-call teams face significant pressure to identify and resolve the incident quickly – in order to keep customers happy.

When Grafana Labs CEO and co-founder Raj Dutt announced to the team that the company would be relicensing our core open source projects from Apache 2.0 to AGPLv3, he opened the floor for discussion and encouraged anyone who had further questions to reach out. We believe in honesty and transparency, so we collected hard questions from Grafanistas, and Raj answered them for this public Q&A. The time felt right. As I’ve said publicly before, I’ve been thinking about this topic for years.
