We are constantly working to make Icinga even better by adding new useful features. We will be releasing Icinga Web 2 version 2.9.0 very soon. This version will have many new interesting features. One of these functions gives you the option to change the theme mode to Dark, Light or Auto. The default Icinga theme will come with all three modes and will use Dark as the default theme mode. You can change it at any time in the account preferences.
Many organizations have made the shift to the cloud in recent years, and many more are planning to or are just starting their cloud migration journeys now. However, some organizations struggle to realize value from this move. The benefits of cloud are clear: it’s flexible, scalable, and has a low cost of entry. But cloud can also bring complexity—creating new interdependencies, more services to manage, and more data and signals to monitor.
Microsoft recently reported two widespread cryptomining attacks targeting Kubeflow, a popular cloud-native platform for machine learning (ML) workloads on Kubernetes. Attackers targeted Kubeflow installations using either the Kubeflow central dashboard interface or Kubeflow Pipelines interface for scheduling crypto-mining workloads.
NagiosXI is the proprietary heir of one of the best-known tools in IT to monitor systems without a license, that is, as a free product. As a free product, Nagios (without XI) is a product that is almost 20 years old and suffers from many shortcomings, but for many years it has been the standard among “free” products and it fulfilled its role in those cases where the budget was quite short or the features needed were just a few.
Today, we released our second annual Observability Maturity Community Research Findings report. This year-over-year report identifies trends occurring in the observability community that we use to further develop our Observability Maturity Model. Our goal in running this annual report is to understand community perceptions and awareness of observability, how engineering teams are approaching observability, and mapping an observability maturity model that reflects current research findings.
I hate reinventing the wheel once I find a good setup. On top of that, I dislike searching for all the links I used to come up with the “ultimate setup” for different services. So, I decided to outline for myself (and for you of course) my default setup when I deploy on Elastic Cloud to set myself up for success and automate insight for the future. Most of my setup steps make monitoring accessible or automate various warnings to myself.
The pandemic upended business for many or at the very least cast a grim shade of uncertainty, so, as many took to working from home, they also were commissioned with cutting waste. Among the biggest sources of misspend in 2020 – cloud services. And remote work may have actually spurred the problem, as organizations migrate more applications to the cloud to support these workers.
As organizations increase their cloud footprints, it becomes more and more important to implement access control monitoring for as many resources as possible. In previous playbooks, we have shown examples of AWS and Azure account monitoring, but the series would not be complete without also supporting Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
