Behaviour Driven Monitoring with cucumber-nagios
•
12 likes•3,656 views
Writing checks for your monitoring system is boring. You end up writing the same checks again and again, and it can be difficult to verify behavior instead of availability. Wouldn't it be useful to have a standard library of checks you could reuse across your infrastructure? it lets you write reusable behavioral tests in human-readable language.Say hello to cucumber-nagios - it lets you write reusable behavioral tests in human-readable language. As cucumber-nagios output the test results in the Nagios plugin format you can run your checks from any monitoring system that understands the format.

Monitoring web application behaviour with cucumber-nagios
Setting up monitoring for web applications can be complicated - tests tend to lack expressiveness, or and quite often they don't even test the right problem in the first place.
cucumber-nagios lets a sysadmin write behavioural tests for their web apps in plain English, and outputs the test results in the Nagios plugin format, allowing a sysadmin to be notified by Nagios when their production apps aren't behaving.
Escalating complexity: DevOps learnings from Air France 447
On June 1, 2009 Air France 447 crashed into the Atlantic ocean killing all 228 passengers and crew. The 15 minutes leading up to the impact were a terrifying demonstration of the how thick the fog of war is in complex systems.
Mainstream reports of the incident put the blame on the pilots - a common motif in incident reports that conveniently ignore a simple fact: people were just actors within a complex system, doing their best based on the information at hand.
While the systems you build and operate likely don't control the fate of people's lives, they share many of the same complexity characteristics. Dev and Ops can learn an abundance from how the feedback loops between these aviation systems are designed and how these systems are operated.
In this talk Lindsay will cover what happened on the flight, why the mainstream explanation doesn't add up, how design assumptions can impact people's ability to respond to rapidly developing situations, and how to improve your operational effectiveness when dealing with rapidly developing failure scenarios.
AA261: DevOps lessons in collaborative maintenance
On January 31, 2000, Alaska Airlines Flight 261 plunged into the Pacific ocean in an extreme "nose down" position, killing all 88 crew and passengers on board. The NTSB concluded AA261's horizontal stabiliser trim system's jackscrew was inadequately maintained, causing the pilots to lose all control of the plane.
There are striking parallels with the problems we face daily in IT operations & software development, and the 30 years of give and take between the aircraft manufacturer's engineers, airline maintenance staff, and federal regulators that preceded AA261's simple mechanical failure.
In this talk, Lindsay looks at the complex interplay between the parties in the AA261 crash through a DevOps lens, investigating the collaborative approach to maintenance and operation of the MD-83 aircraft, and relating the complexities back to the complex IT systems we build and maintain.
Islands: Puppet at Bulletproof Networks
Bulletproof Networks provides managed hosting services to some of the largest companies in Australia. Bulletproof implements strong isolation of customer environments, and this can present unique challenges when re-using Puppet code across our customer base. Additionally, the environments range in size from small to very large, and our tools + processes need to be able to handle both uses cases equally well.
In this talk Lindsay + Mick will cover how Bulletproof's approach to these problems has evolved over the last 4 years, and some of the tools Bulletproof has developed and built upon to provide an awesome service to our customers.
Load testing with Blitz
We all know that load testing is important, but it's all too common that it's left to the very end of a project and it's invariably the first thing that gets dropped when budgets and timeframes get cut. Furthermore, most of us don't know where or how to start implementing effective load tests, let alone how to analyse the results.
Lindsay Holmwood, Software Manager at Bulletproof Networks, will be talking about integrating performance testing into your application development + deploy cycle from the very beginning, using inexpensive and easy to use SaaS tools.
There will be a hands on demonstration of the Blitz load + performance testing tool, coupled with a brief dive into the Blitz API internals to retrieve and analyse advanced reporting information.
Latency: The Silent Monitoring System Killer
Slides from a lighting talk presented at the January Sydney DevOps Meetup.
Rump - making Puppetmaster-less Puppet meaty
We’re all familiar with the Puppet manifest development cycle: “make your change, commit your change, push your change, run Puppet, debug the output, then go back to the beginning to refactor or fix a bug”. What if you could could shorten the cycle to “make a change, run puppet, commit change”? Enter Rump, a tool for doing Puppet runs locally from a Git checkout.
Rump encourages a Puppet workflow where you quickly + iteratively develop your Puppet manifests on a single machine, then push your changes up to a repository to deploy to the rest of your infrastructure.
Lindsay will be demonstrating how to setup Rump, showing off some awesome workflows for doing local iterative development, and exposing super cool features like testing your manifests against new versions of Puppet in a single command.
Behaviour driven infrastructure
Does Behaviour Driven Development have a role in the infrastructure world? Enter Behaviour Driven Infrastructure where systems administrators can apply some simple open source tools and BDD principles to make infrastructure management more powerful, more insightful and deliver more value to their customers.
The typical enterprise monitoring and configuration management set-up for a website is:
- Is the Apache package installed and the appropriate version?
- Is the Apache service running?
- Can I connect to the HTTP port and is HTML returned?
- Multiply this by a few hundred iterations of hosts and types of services and you’re probably looking at your typical Nagios, Puppet, Cfengine, Hyperic set-up.
All this monitoring misses something critical though – we’re not actually monitoring that the service does what it should. Yes, it matters whether Apache is installed, the Apache service is running, and you can connect to HTTP but does this actually prove anything about the availability of the service we’re managing and providing for our customers? Nope…
We need to demonstrate more than just a check that says the Apache server is up. We need to demonstrate that the service delivered by that infrastructure was available to our customers AND functioning as intended.
Enter Behaviour Driven Infrastructure or BDI which applies the principles of Behavioural Driven Development to the management of infrastructure. In this presentation you’ll learn:
- How Behaviour Driven Development works
- What makes a behavioural test
- How to install and use Cucumber to perform BDI
- Practical examples of behavioural tests in Cucumber, and
- How to integrate BDI into your work flow and your enterprise monitoring and configuration management frameworks.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor Turskyi
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage Engineerings
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental Health
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
