In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Configuration Guide for Logger
Forwarding Connector for HP OM
This guide provides information on installing and configuring the Logger Forwarding
Connector for HP OM. This software supports Logger versions 5.0 and 5.1.
ArcSight Logger is a log management solution that is optimized for extremely high event
throughput, efficient long-term storage, and rapid data analysis. Logger receives and
stores events; supports search, retrieval, and reporting; and can forward selected
events.The ArcSight Logger Forwarding Connector allows you to send these event logs
from Logger to the HP Operations Manager (HP OM).
HP Operations Manager (HP OM) provides comprehensive event management,
proactive performance monitoring, and automated alerting, reporting, and graphing for
operating systems, middleware, and applications. It is designed to provide service-driven
event and performance management of business-critical enterprise systems, applications,
and services.

Sending Events From Logger to HP OM
ArcSight Logger sends events to the Logger Forwarding Connector using CEF Syslog, then
forwards the events to HP OM via SNMP. A Logger forwarder must be created to send these
events. For instructions on how to create a forwarder to send the events, see “Creating a
Forwarder to Forward Events” on page 10.
HP OM uses an SNMP interceptor policy to allow ArcSight events to be accepted within the
HP OM environment. For instructions on how to create an SNMP interceptor policy, see
“Creating an SNMP Interceptor Policy” on page 11.
Installing the Connector
Before you install the connector, make sure that the ArcSight products with which the
connectors will communicate have already been installed correctly (the ArcSight Logger, for
example) and you have assigned appropriate privileges. For data security, ArcSight
recommends that you install the connector and the HP Operations Agent on the same
system.
1 Download the ArcSight executable for your operating system from the ArcSight
Customer Support Site.
2 Start the ArcSight Installer by running the executable.
Follow the installation wizard through the following folder selection tasks and

11 Click Finish.
12 Click Done.
Logger Forwarders
Logger forwarders allow you to send all events, or events which match a particular filter,
to another destination, in this instance, to HP OM. However, the ability to define a different
filter for each forwarder allows Logger to divide traffic among several destinations or limit
the events sent to a single destination. For example, because Logger can handle higher
event rates, it might be used to forward events to another HP OM management server
and/or an ArcSight ESM Manager. Forwarder query filters make it possible to split the flow
between the different devices, using one forwarder for each.
Logger forwarding uses several forwarder types, but the Logger Forwarding Connector
operates with UDP and TCP forwarder types only.
UDP Forwarders forward events as User Datagram Protocol messages, such as
Syslog format datagrams.
TCP Forwarders forward events as Transmission Control Protocol messages.
10. Configuration Guide for Logger Forwarding Connector for OM
10 ArcSight Confidential
Creating a Forwarder to Forward Events
In order to successfully forward events from Logger to HP OM, a forwarder must be
created. To do so, complete the following steps within the ArcSight Logger web application.
1 Click Configuration from the top-level menu bar.
2 Click Event Input/Output in the left panel.
3 Click the Forwarder tab, then click Add. The Add Forwarder page appears.
4 Enter a name for the new forwarder and choose either “UDP Forwarder” or “TCP
Forwarder”.
5 Click Next.
6 The Edit Forwarder page appears.
7 Within the Query field, create a query to filter the events sent to HP OM, or leave the
default, NONE, to send all events.
8 Continue to fill in the remaining parameters, ensuring that the Ip/Host field contains
the correct Logger Forwarding Connector IP address and that the Port number
matches that of the connector.
9 Click Save. The following page appears.
10 New forwarders are initially disabled, so click the disabled icon ( ) to enable the new
forwarder.
The forwarder is now enabled.
11 Start the Logger Forwarding Connector.
For more detailed information on Logger forwarders, see the ArcSight Logger
Administrator’s Guide.
Whichever forwarder type you choose, it must match that of the
SmartConnector protocol chosen during installation.
Wait a few minutes after enabling a forwarder before disabling it. Likewise,
wait before enabling a forwarder that has just been disabled. Background
tasks initiated by enabling or disabling a forwarder can produce unexpected
results if they are interrupted.

ArcSight Confidential 11
Creating an SNMP Interceptor Policy
An SNMP interceptor policy is a type of HP OM policy, with rules, conditions, and actions.
Rules define what a policy should do in response to a specific type of event. Each rule
consists of a condition and an action. SNMP interceptor policies monitor SNMP events, and
can start actions when an SNMP event contains a specified character pattern. The Logger
Forwarding Connector sends security events as SNMP traps to an HP OM SNMP interceptor
policy that you will create.
SNMP interceptor policies can be configured on either HP OM UI, HP OM for Windows, or
HP OM for UNIX or Linux. ArcSight provides a template interceptor policy for use in
creating your own customized SNMP interceptor policy. This template policy should be
customized and enhanced to satisfy different needs and requirements with HP OM's
powerful policy edit features. You can upload the ArcSight SNMP interceptor policy
template to HP OM for Windows (using the ovpmutil command line tool) and to HP OM for
UNIX or Linux (using the opcpolicy command line tool).
Uploading Interceptor Template
After you have completed the connector installation, navigate to
$ARCSIGHT_HOMEcurrentuseragenthpompolicy. This folder provides policy
files as a basic SNMP interceptor template.
Using Operations Manager for Windows
Copy the hpompolicy folder from
$ARCSIGHT_HOMEcurrentuseragenthpompolicy to the destination HP OM for
Windows machine's C:temp directory. Then use the following command to upload the
policy:
"%OvBinDir%ovpmutil" CFG POL UPL "C:temphpompolicy"
You should receive the following messages:
Root policy group "for ArcSight Integration" uploading:
Policies upload completed successfully.
For descriptions of specific HP OM commands, refer to the HP Operations
Manager online help and documentation.
12. Configuration Guide for Logger Forwarding Connector for OM
12 ArcSight Confidential
Using Operations Manager for UNIX or Linux
Copy the hpompolicy folder from
$ARCSIGHT_HOMEcurrentuseragenthpompolicy to the destination HP OM
machine's /tmp directory. Then use the following command to upload the policy:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/utils/opcpolicy -upload
dir=/tmp/hpompolicy/"ArcSight Events"
You should receive the following message:
Operation successfully completed.
Deploying the Policy
Once you have created your customized SNMP interceptor policy, deploy or assign the
policy through the HP OM for Windows or HP OM for UNIX or Linux Administration UI. For
details, refer to the HP Operations Manager online help and documentation.
The systems that send the SNMP traps to the logger must also be set up as nodes in HP
OM, because HP OM discards messages from unknown systems. Set up an external node or
an SNMP node. For details, refer to the HP Operations Manager online help and
documentation.
Also, configure the HP Operations Agent for SNMPv2 by setting the
SNMP_SESSION_MODE variable using the ovconfchg command line tool. Refer to the
HP Operations Manager or HP Operations Agent online help and documentation for more
information.
Troubleshooting Tips
Duplicate Events
If there appear to be duplicate events forwarded to the HP OM console:
1 Check and modify suppression options as needed.
2 If, after modifying suppression options, there still appear to be duplicate events, check
the Custom Message Attributes (event details and data), and apply rules to
differentiate the events.
Refer to the HP Operations Manager online help for details.
Dropped Events
If you notice that some events forwarded from ArcSight ESM/Logger are dropped, verify
whether the Agent Severity is set correctly in those events. The default SNMP interceptor
policy provided by ArcSight in the connector distribution has rules to pick up and forward
SNMP Traps from ArcSight ESM/Logger based on the Agent Severity. Events that do not
have Agent Severity set are dropped and not forwarded by the SNMP interceptor policy. If
the dropped events are correlated events from ESM, make sure that the rules on ESM are
set for the correct Agent Severity in the correlated events they generate. If the dropped
events are normalized events from devices, then verify that the originating connector that
For descriptions of specific HP OM commands, refer to the HP Operations
Manager online help and documentation.
13. Configuration Guide for Logger Forwarding Connector for OM
ArcSight Confidential 13
has normalized the event has mapped the Agent Severity correctly from the Device
Severity. If the originating connector (that is not setting the Agent Severity) is a
FlexConnector, review the mappings and map all of the device severities to one of these
Agent Severity values: Low, Medium, High, or Very-High. If the connector is a supported
connector, contact customer support.
Adjusting the Event Processing Rate
The default event processing rate for forwarding events from Logger to HP OM is 50 eps.
If this rate proves excessive for your system, HP OM may queue some incoming events and
affect the rate at which these events are processed.
If this occurs, you can adjust the rate at which events are forwarded to HP OM. To do so,
you will need to change the event processing rate within your XML properties file.
To adjust the event processing rate,
1 Stop the currently running SmartConnector from operating.
2 From a Windows command line, access your XML properties file using the command
cd %ARCSIGHT_HOME%/current/user/agent
3 Use WordPad or any XML Editor to open the .xml file for your HP OM destination,
similar to the example below:
0Ajv5S8BABCAAeabNXP5Rw==.xml
4 From within the .xml file, search for the following:
ProcessingSettings.ThrottleRate="50"
This value controls the current processing event rate, and has a default value of
50 eps.
5 Change this value to the desired rate of events per second. For example, to lower the
rate of events to 10 eps, change the value after the string to 10:
ProcessingSettings.ThrottleRate="10"
6 Save the .xml file and exit the XML editor.
7 Restart the SmartConnector.
If there are multiple destinations, repeat the steps above to change the
rate for each destination, as required.
