We’re excited to announce the third annual Chaos Conf! Given the events with Covid-19 this year, we will be holding this event fully online for the health and safety of attendees. The unforeseen impact of this virus on our lives, our businesses, and our software highlights the importance of preparing for the unexpected. Our theme for this year highlights this: Prepare for moments that matter. Chaos Conf will take place over the course of three days: October 6–8.

Nobody wants to spend hours configuring a product. It should just work. Flowmon’s customers, partners, and distributors are fortunate in having a number of presets at their disposal for speedy configuration, whether during initial deployment, adjusting the product to new circumstances, or a quick product demonstration. There is no laborious setup; the user just chooses a use case, follows a few guided steps, and lets the system set everything up.

Many attempts to simplify programming lead to visual interfaces that provide approachable settings for common tasks. These simplifications may appeal to non-developers, but they send experienced coders running for the command line. Yet, no code tools are rapidly expanding. Zapier, Integromat, and Workato are becoming more popular options and some believe developers won’t be needed for most integrations in the future.

My colleague Greg Zweig recently wrote a blog “Forget Videobombing – Worry About What You Can’t See” in which he outlined how Unified Communications (UC) assets are all too often left unsecured, making them an easy target.

You’ve been contemplating adopting a new ITSM solution for some time.

Permissions and restrictions are something used to control how much access is provided to a particular user or user group. Therefore one must first understand what is the role of a user or a group. Here, you will understand permissions and restrictions through configuring users, user groups and roles. They can either be created using configuration files or web interface. When the Icinga Web 2 is installed a default user with admin access is configured.

Your payment systems have slowed to a crawl, customers are getting impatient and abandoning their shopping carts both online and in stores, and you’re losing money every minute this problem goes on. Behind the scenes, technical responders are scrambling to resolve the issue before it impacts more customers—and before even more money is lost.

In our previous post, we introduced the concept of the Elastic Workplace Search Custom Source API as a means of adding data for which a prebuilt content source integration isn’t available. We used a simple example — a CSV file of contact information — to demonstrate the process along with the use of the associated REST API. In this post, we explore ingesting data from a more complex organizational source: Trello.
