Community Client libraries are back with InfluxDB 3.0. If you would like an overview of each client library then I highly recommend checking out Anais’s blog on their status. In this two-part blog series, we do a deep dive into the new Python Client Library and CLI. By the end, you should have a good understanding of the current features, how the internals work, and my future ideas for both projects.

As a leader in IT, the question of whether or not it makes sense to adopt a dedicated software troubleshooting solution probably comes up from time to time. If it's happened in your organization — no worries — you're not alone. Many teams wonder if their current tools, such as an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) solution or a suite of open-source solutions are sufficient.

In a recent cyber attack that sent shockwaves through the security community, a group of hackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2023-35078, in Ivanti's Mobile Endpoint Management software (EPMM), compromising several Norwegian government agencies. The breach, which targeted twelve government ministries, has raised concerns about the potential risks faced by thousands of other organizations that might be vulnerable to similar attacks. Keep reading to understand the extent of the exploit.

Welcome to the 27th edition of our monthly product newsletter - SigNal 27! Our team shipped the much anticipated Trace and Logs Explorer. With the new Trace Explorer page, SigNoz is the most powerful open-source distributed trace product out there. Let’s dive in to see what humans at SigNoz were up to in the month of July 2023.

Keeping up with the speed of business requires the right tools and tech. You expect efficiency gains when moving to and from the cloud, but risks and visibility gaps happen when resources are monitored by separate tools and teams. And since on-premises infrastructure is likely managed by dedicated IT teams and monitoring tools, you can’t clearly see if migrated resources perform correctly. The results involve disconnected visibility, tool sprawl, and increased MTTR.

Unfortunately, no Logic App connector can make the bridge to RabbitMQ, which makes this integration challenge a little bit more complicated. However, we have the ability to create an Azure Function by using the RabbitMQ trigger for Azure Functions to overcome this limitation. The purpose of this POC is to receive a message in a RabbitMQ queue, and that event triggers an Azure Function, which fires a Logic App.

Fastify is a cutting-edge web framework for Node.js that offers exceptional speed and efficiency. With its extensible plugin system, support for asynchronous programming, and focus on minimalism, it is an ideal choice for backend developers developing Node.js applications. But even the most performant web applications can encounter issues that are difficult to debug without the proper tools in place. We will explore how to use AppSignal for a Fastify application.

In the fast-paced high-tech industry, efficient incident management is a critical factor in maintaining brand reputation, employee morale, and most importantly, your bottom line. Good practices can result in reduced downtime, increased learning opportunities from incidents, and an enhanced reputation among both the engineering community and customers. But quantifying the true cost of incidents has always been a challenge — until now.

Oh, I beg you, can I follow? 🎶 Now you can, but don’t have to. Let’s see what’s new. Hi folks! Even the sizzling summer can’t stop our groove. We’ve been busy mixing up some cool updates just for you!

Honeycomb's Refinery is a tool that customers can use to help manage the volume of their telemetry. It's rare to have too much telemetry—it's not often that someone says "I wish I didn't have all this information!" However, telemetry is data, and data is not necessarily information—particularly when you’re drowning in it. Honeycomb's query engine is so fast and powerful that many customers can send us all their telemetry.
