Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Web Apps (EWA) is a Portal built within Sharepoint with .Net, transactions are initiated in EWA and passed to Nav which then saves the transaction information in Nav tables.
EWA configuration information is also saved with Nav tables. Nav pages provide a view of configuration and transaction data for modification and further processing.
Besides initiating new transactions in EWA, a user is able to view PO’s created from Requests, as well as invoices, receiving and payment documents.
Four different procurement related documents are created from EWA; PO’s, PI’s for trade vendor, PI’s for employee vendor & receiving documents.
Through configuration rather than customization EWA can limit what a user is allowed to access and process.
The approval process is a non-Nav workflow available to EWA users rather than limited to Nav users. A Nav only ‘approval process’ exists but has less configurability than the EWA approval process
Since approx. 2013-09 EWA has allowed for the configuration of a purchase request processing automation to convert a request into a PO and email that PO to the vendor, where both PO creation & email are the designed process, rather that PO creation only.
By learning the Purchase Request process, users will find Payment & Expense Request process very similar for request entry, submission and approval
Tender Process can be part of this cycle but will not be part of this presentation, refer to Procurement Process v 3.6 Setup and User Guide. In brief, the EWA will be configured to enable use of a ‘misc quote vendor’ on P&P Setup for use on quotes being sent to new vendors. An EWA user will submit a purchase request for approval, which when processed in the Request Inbox is converted into a Quote. Quotes will then be cancelled or converted into a PO and sent to the vendor.
Procurement transactions are initiated and approved by non-Nav users (EWA only users), thereby expanding the procurement user base to occasional operations staff.
Once approved, the request is reviewed for completeness by a Nav user, the Purchaser/Buyer, which is then converted into an order or invoice as appropriate.
EWA users have a view from the EWA to the processing status of their request at all stages up to and including payment to the vendor, allowing self service investigation for internal and vendor inquiries.
AEP Setup is a combination of information only fields such as intranet web address and processing master data such as the AEP User number series. Refer to Base Portal Setup and Admin Guide v 7.01.
In addition to Boolean fields to enable enable HR Portals, there are AEP Menu Controls to define specific AEP page group & page controls. Menu Controls are assigned to AEP User Profiles to limit how much of the portal functionality is made available to AEP users. Each AEP User is assigned a AEP Profile.
Standard Altus User Guides can be saved in Sharepoint Document libraries providing online reference material. These guides can be modified or replaced as required to suit the organizations requirements
Within the Expense Types, comment fields are populated to provide additional user help.
This fasttab provides processing options via configuration to match the organizations workflow requirements. For details refer to the previously mentioned setup and admin guides. Fields also control EWA field caption/labels.
For details refer to the previously mentioned setup & admin guides
Expense types are used to default information into the request, which will become the detail lines of a PO or PI.
By focusing on the processing needs of the full range of EWA users, groups of expense types can be created, grouped and then assigned to specific users to support ease of entry of transactions. Depending on the user, ease of entry may mean few but flexible/open expense types to allow the user to use their judgment to enter appropriate document information. Other users will not be required to know the ‘accounting/back office’ information to allow a request to be fully completed and approved for processing.
An expense type may be made available to each of purchase, payment and expense requests, or limited to just one type.
As an administrator, initial setup effort can remove a great deal of data entry effort from users and increase the accuracy of processed data, by in effect creating a vendor’s product catalogue within a group of expense types.
For EWA purposes, you are not required to enter a budget amount for each GL Income Statement account. If for operating control purposes a manager is permitted to spend a portion of a budget in any of two or more accounts so long as the total spend is within budget, then this group of accounts is assigned a common budget category value.
The ‘start date’ of a budget supports the staging of budget information in advance of the in-use date. EWA compares the request posting date to the ‘calculation start date’ to determine the appropriate ‘budget’ to apply to the budget checking function.
EWA does NOT support a ‘hard stop’ on over budget transactions. For reporting purposes you may enter/upload the budget in monthly amounts or as one annual amount, but EWA uses the calculation start and end dates to determine the total budget available for the dimension-account combination. By having 12 rows for each fiscal year where each row is a monthly start-stop set, you will see over budget warnings sooner than a single full year start stop range. Further, each single month start-stop record could hold a single month budget amount or the year to date budget amount.
It is possible to assign one budget code to purchase request GL budget, a second to GL Setup current budget and a third to the Data Set definition used by financial analysis. EWA has only the first 6 dimensions to use for budget verification. Users would need to be aware of the business reason for assigning different budget to each configuration area
EWA for budget verification makes use of only the first 6 dimensions defined on GL Setup, requiring planning of the request approval workflow before finalization of GL configuration. It is unlikely that more than 2 or 3 dimensions will be used by the approval thresholds, but they must be placed among the first 6 dimensions.
When two or more dimensions (department & project) are included on a single transaction, one dimension value can be assigned as the approval threshold value override
Once thresholds have been defined, a fast link to view is via dimensions
EWA only uses dimensions and dimension values to support an approval workflow. Only Expense Requests provides the option to use the employee’s assigned manager in place of the dimension values in the transaction.
The default approver is optional, as is the option to provide one or more alternate approvers.
The amount represents the minimum amount for the threshold.
If a transaction amount exceeds one or more thresholds, each approver in the lower thresholds must approve the transaction prior to the request advancing further.
A ‘manual’ workaround to allow a skip of the lower threshold approvers is to assign the top level approver as a first level alternate, allowing the user to override the default approver.
The sequence and amount of budget approvers must be set to zero, meaning a second budget approver will ‘see’ the transaction as ready for their approval at the same time as the first budget approver
Due to the nature of the soft-edit on over budget transactions, the budget approver has the option to approve or deny, then to transfer or adjust the budget amounts to offset the over budget situation after posting the transaction, or to approve and leave the account as over budget.
Administration of user security is minimized through the use of Profiles
Two or more users can share a profile where they share a set of Expense types and Vendors, but each require their own unique department codes.
Security profile dimension values allow use of standard Nav filter conventions
The AEP User security profile values either override or append to the profile values
In addition, an AEP user can assign one or more individual dimension combinations that could be outside the dimension filters of the profile or user security values
Permissible ‘delegate to’ values are defined on the user card. The ability to delegate outside this list is also configurable.
Data sets are defined elsewhere, then assigned to users (but not to profiles)
Where a user replaces another user as a result of staffing changes, a mass change of approval threshold assignments is managed on the user card
Administration of user security is minimized through the use of Profiles
Two or more users can share a profile where they share a set of Expense types and Vendors, but each require their own unique department codes.
Security profile dimension values allow use of standard Nav filter conventions

A data set has predefined columns of actual, commitments, budget and remaining budget,
Data set rows can be defined as either accounts or a dimension
Users can drill into the results to see the details making up each value (actual, budget or commitment), for actuals originating from purchase invoices, users can see whether the payment has been posted and also when the payment was cashed.
