It’s been literally years now that I have been first tangentially, and then intimately involved with the project that has become InfluxDB 3.0. I started using it so early that one of the DataFusion upstream developers literally calls me “User0” … a moniker of which I am not-so-secretly proud.
Digital employee experience has become a hot topic for organizations. And understandably so, considering that 65% of employees say that they would be more productive if they had better technology at their disposal. But to secure the investment, you need to lay out how your organization can benefit in both the short — and long-term.
Over the last five years, there has been a constant push to move infrastructure to the Cloud, which accelerated further during the pandemic. It is becoming clear that for a proportion of organisations, the Cloud is not always the best route and that an on-premise (also known as on-prem, on-premises) or a hybrid model is most beneficial. On-premise relates to where IT infrastructure is located; this can be physically in a building, usually in a server room.
Port monitoring is a necessary measure to make sure your network is running at an optimized level. For those unfamiliar with New England, many villages and cities began as fishing towns. These communities still do business on the sea, with multiple companies shipping out their products on massive boats. How do these boats gain access to the towns to continue doing business in them?
Event logging for Microsoft Windows provides a standard, centralized way for applications and the operating system to record important software and hardware events. The event-logging service (eventlog) stores events from various sources in a single collection called an event log. The system administrator can use the event log to help determine what conditions caused the error and the context in which it occurred. TechTarget have an excellent overview of Windows event logs available.
Alert fatigue is a serious issue that affects numerous professions, especially in the IT industry. It can lead to neglecting critical events and delaying response times. IT teams need to continuously monitor their systems and applications to avert possible downtime and keep operations running smoothly. However a high number of incoming alerts inundating these teams can make them less responsive. The ramifications of such disregard can severely affect the efficiency and dependability of IT teams.
During my recent work on extending our GitLab packaging capabilities, I came across various types of tokens that can be used to authenticate users, services, and pipelines while using GitLab CI/CD. Each token has its unique features and use cases that can help ensure the security and integrity of your GitLab environment. By understanding the features and use cases of each token, you can leverage them to enhance your GitLab CI/CD workflows and ensure the security of your GitLab environment.
Catastrophic failures — such as a security breach or a complete outage leading to an unavailable product or service — are classified as Sev0 incidents. On a severity scale of 1–3, Sev0 is dire. It brings business to a complete standstill and may lead to loss of revenue and a damaged reputation. A Sev0 incident usually has no quick workaround; it requires a coordinated effort beyond the engineering team to diagnose, correct, and manage.
