Welcome to Part Two of our two-part series on REST APIs. Now that you’ve learnt all about what REST APIs are and how they work, let’s have a look at how you can get the most out of your REST APIs. We will illustrate this through the example of integrating Squared Up with the ServiceNow REST API.

As we’ve rolled out Loki internally at Grafana Labs, we wanted logs beyond just simple applications. Specifically while debugging outages due to config, Kubernetes, or node restarts, we’ve found Kubernetes events to be super useful. The Kubernetes events feature allows you to see all of the changes in a cluster, and you can get a simple overview by just retrieving them: This also captures when nodes go unresponsive and when a pod has been killed along with the reason.

Hey folks, it’s that time of year again. I’m not talking about the end of summer; I’m talking about VMworld, of course! VMworld has been my jam for the last few years here at LogicMonitor, but this year I’m focused on some other cool projects hitting the market soon, including LM Exchange (you may have seen a sneak preview if you attended our inaugural user conference, Level Up).

Sentry helps developer teams build the most reliable software. Our help often manifests in two distinct forms: resolving issues in your product and ensuring that issue resolution fits seamlessly into existing workflows. We recently launched our Integration Platform, which allows developers to build publicly available tools on top of Sentry. For the launch, we built many new features, while also making it easier to use existing ones.

RabbitMQ is an open source message broker that was built to implement AMQP in 2007, and over the past twelve years has grown to include HTTP, STOMP, SMTP and other protocols via an ever growing list of plugins.

If you’re developing a management pack with custom UI and/or .NET modules you’ve gone through the steps of getting your DLL recognized by the engine and loaded as an Assembly or DeployedAssembly depending on the project (here’s an SCSM example). Durning an ongoing project constantly updating the resource mpx file to have the correct QualifiedName can be frustrating, time-consuming, and error-prone.

If you are reading this article, you’re probably familiar with syslog, a logging tool that has been around since the 1980s. It is a daemon present in most Linux-based operating systems. By default, syslog (and variants like rsyslog) on Linux systems can be used to forward logs to central syslog servers or monitoring platforms where further analysis can be conducted. That’s useful, but to make the very most of syslog, you also want to be able to analyze log data.

Website performance is how quickly the site can be displayed on the user’s Internet browser once a request is made. Keeping an eye on certain indicating factors can let you know if your website is doing well. It can also help during the development process when you are trying to optimize your website.

Microsoft Windows Azure Active Directory (Azure AD or AAD) is a cloud service that provides administrators with the ability to manage end-user identities and access privileges. When you use Office 365, Microsoft Azure, or Intune you are indirectly interacting with AAD which they use to manage all of their identities, authentication and permissions.
