Digital transformation is accelerating at a staggering pace. Consider these statistics. In December 2019, Splunk partner Zoom had 10 million monthly active users. By the end of last year, that number was estimated to be closer to 300 million. It was part of an explosion of technological growth replicated across many industries and businesses in 2020. As Splunk CEO Doug Merritt said.

I believe that the evolution to hybrid cloud is inevitable. Not because it’s grabbing headlines, but because it mirrors the industry’s history of new technology adoption. Take the evolution of virtualization, for example. Going back 20 years give or take, virtual machines popularized by VMware, KVM, and Hyper-V started to gain traction.

Picture yourself flying first class. You board the plane first, you get champagne, and you feel as though you’re the most important. Why not treat your APIs the same way? In this talk, FireHydrant CEO and Co-Founder, Robert Ross (a.k.a @bobbytables) shares why putting your APIs first can be a game-changer for your business and how this mindset shaped the way FireHydrant was built.

Monitoring Redis, the open source in-memory data platform, is complicated enough when you are hosting your Redis instance on just a single server. It gets even more complex when you build a Redis cluster that consists of multiple nodes and distribute your data across them. But as long as you know which metrics to prioritize and how to collect them, Redis monitoring is feasible enough. This article offers an overview of how to monitor the state of Redis database clusters.

At Sumo Logic, our belief is that security operations is no longer a human scale problem. We need tools and technologies to aid our defenders and responders to be able to process, investigate and respond at machine speed. Our vision for modernizing security operations to deal with threats at machine scale has always encompassed more than just SIEM.

With InfluxDB you can use Tasks to process data on a schedule. You can also use tasks to write custom alerts. However, sometimes your task will fail. In this TLDR, we’ll learn how to debug your task with the InfluxDB UI and the InfluxDB CLI.

The hybrid workforce is here to stay. With that in mind, you should start putting more robust cybersecurity controls in place to mitigate risk. Virtual private networks (VPNs) help secure data, but they are also challenging to bring into your log monitoring and management strategy. VPN and firewall log management gives real-time visibility into security risks. Many VPN and firewall log monitoring problems are similar to log management in general.

In this post, I will show you, how to monitor your IoT device in just 2 simple steps.

To many businesses, the pace of innovation and speed to market has been hindered by the legacy infrastructure. This is mainly due to the closed structures and inflexible old-school architectural formats that they follow. The decades-old infrastructure hesitates to scale up with the growing business demands and realize advanced cloud-based technologies.
