Cribl Stream Demo with Max Weber

Join Cribl's Ed Bailey and Max Weber, Senior Detection Engineer, for a fun discussion about the challenges of detection engineering and how Max is solving these problems every day. We will discuss the current state of detection engineering, why data engineering is a prerequisite for better detection engineering, and what Max would like to see to help drive better outcomes. Max will demo Cribl Stream and show how his data engineering skills drive better detections.

Improving Trace Data For Azure Virtual Desktop

The Microsoft infrastructure makes collecting network traces more complicated. Network traces (tracert) inside and out of the Azure Virtual Desktop virtual machine are valuable when diagnosing support issues or when an end-user calls up complaining of poor Azure Virtual Desktop performance. The following information should help improve the collection of network traces and trace data, which will aid in diagnosing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure connectivity.

ServiceNow Integration

In this video, we'll be covering the benefits of the ServiceNow integration. We'll also go through the configuration process allowing you to follow along and quickly configure this integration. The integration will allow you to automatically create and resolve incidents based off of alarms triggered in Exoprise. With incidents being sent to ServiceNow, you can begin automatically assigning incidents to the correct teams based off of criteria or automatically escalating issues that have not been addressed yet.

How To Profile and Optimize Telemetry Data: A Deep Dive

We recently had the privilege of presenting our telemetry data pipelining platform at Cloud Field Day. Today, we'd like to share a recap of our demo with you. In this demo, we explore the transformative potential of data profiling, telemetry pipeline optimization, and incident response. Foundationally, we follow an Understand, Optimize, and Respond workflow.

Choosing Azure Database Services - What are the options?

Microsoft Azure offers a choice of relational and non-relational database services to support a wide range of application needs and demands. Built-in intelligence helps automate management tasks like high availability, scaling, and query performance tuning to provide users with services that ensure applications are always available and performant. Many services offer essentially limitless database scale and SLAs (Service Level Agreements) usually range between 99.9-99.999% availability.
