From time to time throughout my career, I have been involved in projects with dramatic releases when we built and delivered something very new and very special. The release of InfluxDB Cloud, powered by IOx (referred to as “InfluxDB IOx” for short below) absolutely meets those criteria. I want to explain my personal views of why this release is so impactful and why I am so excited to be part of it.
In today’s data-driven economy, data is the lifeblood of any business. A catastrophic data loss event can cause irreversible damage to an organization’s reputation, financial stability, and business continuity. This #WorldBackupDay, we’re reminding organizations worldwide of the importance of backing up their data and having a robust recovery plan in place through our campaign #AlwaysHaveAPlanB. In terms of data recovery, having a plan B means simply having a backup plan.
Maintenance is a critical aspect for organizations, especially those that possess a considerable number of valuable assets. The primary objective of maintenance is to enhance the longevity of assets and prevent unexpected failures. Unanticipated equipment failure can be more costly than scheduled maintenance, which is why regular maintenance is essential. Equipment downtime negatively impacts the productivity of the organization.
Modern enterprise IT infrastructures are complex beasts. They grow and morph organically over time and have likely undergone one, if not more, significant point-in-time transformations.
When coupled with a network observability platform, device telemetry provides network engineers and operators critical insight into cost, performance, reliability, and security. Learn how to create actionable results with device telemetry in our new article. For cloud network specialists, the landscape for their observability efforts includes a mix of physical and virtual networking devices.
Code Mappings connect errors to the source code in a repository. And since errors can have paths that are different from the tree structure of the repository, Code Mappings determines the accurate path through a combination of a repository URL and a path transformation. Sentry uses Code Mappings to serve issue context on the issue details page.
Even though testing is a part of the patch management lifecycle, sometimes bugs manage to slip through the testing stage and aren’t caught until after implementation. When this occurs, a new patch can actually break or alter software instead of fixing or updating it. This situation is known as software regression, and it has a significant impact on IT teams and MSPs around the globe.
Patch management is a critical process within IT environments, and servers are one of the many types of endpoints that need software patches. Server patching, in particular, is crucial to ensure that your servers are optimally functioning and don’t go down unexpectedly. Let’s dig into what server patching is, why it’s so necessary, how server patching works, and keys to proper execution of server patch management.
