AWS Configuration for the Cribl Pack for SentinelOne Cloud Funnel

In the blog titled “Streamline Endpoint Data with Cribl Pack for SentinelOne Cloud Funnel” we dove into the Cloud Funnel data, its relevance in the modern SOC, and how Cribl Stream transforms the data while addressing visibility gaps. We left the AWS-specific details to this blog for those not yet familiar with configuring AWS S3 buckets, SQS Queues, and Identity and Access Management (IAM).

Importing your Cloudwatch Metrics into Prometheus

Cloudwatch is the de facto method of consuming logs and metrics from your AWS infrastructure. The problem is, it is not the de facto method of capturing metrics for your applications. This creates two places where observability is stored, and can make it difficult to understand the true state of your system. That’s why it has become common to unify all data into one place, and Prometheus offers an open-source, vendor-agnostic solution to that problem.

See how reliability management enhancements expand your SLO value

When we announced the general availability of reliability management in Sept 2022, you saw how crucial this functionality was for the digital customer experience. Unique insights from users helped to improve the experience and usability that we’ve incorporated into our latest release.

Introducing OpenTelemetry Support: Take Action on Your Observability Data

As an open source company that grew out of a side project in 2008 to an application and performance monitoring platform (APM) used by over 3.5 million developers, Sentry is committed to open source and the community of developers maintaining and building in the open. Similarly, we take a public approach to building our software, which is why it’s a natural extension of our values to announce our support for OpenTelemetry (or OTel), the leading open standard for observability.

Get notified on Azure app registration client secret expiration!

Azure AD app registration identities are used to provide access to specific resources in Azure. We use some App Registrations in Azure, for example, the security concerns, many organisations dislike enabling users to build Azure Active Directory (AAD) and Service Principals (SP). Building a manual process, on the other hand, might be a bottleneck and a time sink. However, you can build an Office365 form for users to request AAD application registration.

What is data hygiene, and why is it important?

Data hygiene is a critical but often overlooked concept for businesses of all sizes. Think of any activity that involves the use and storage of data, like customer relationship management (CRM), marketing automation, customer service, or analytics; then add in trends like increasing regulations and customer expectations around privacy. Data hygiene needs to be on the top of your list when you’re managing customer relationships across multiple channels.

Monitor any SQL metrics with Netdata (and Pandas )

We recently got this great feedback from a dear user in our Discord: This is great and exactly what we want, a clear problem or improvement we could make to help make that users monitoring life a little easier. This is also where the beauty of open source comes in and being able to build on the shoulders of giants - adding such a feature turned out to be pretty easy by just extending our existing Pandas collector to support SQL queries leveraging its read_sql() capabilities.
