Title: Building Reliability - The Realities of Observability
Abstract: Join me as we discuss true observability, learn what works and what doesn't. We'll not only discuss dashboards, monitoring and alerting, but how these can be built by automation or included in your IAC modules. We'll talk about how to properly alert staff based on priority to keep your staff and yourself sane. And even discuss architecture and how it impact reliably and why serverless isn't always the best at being reliable.
Why not let apm do all the heavy lifting beyond the basics of monitoring | Sw...Swatantra Kumar
In a short period, the complexity of technology increased exponentially. The number of frameworks that appear “overnight”, together with new architectural patterns and distributed teams, can pose several challenges. Keeping such a complex landscape in check requires constant monitoring.
Choosing the right monitoring solution, not only for the project but also for the team dynamics, will help to identify the possible areas of improvement. Furthermore, embedding a monitoring solution within the development cycle of a product will help to reduce the number of problems that can appear in each step, and might also help shorten the amount of time generally needed in identifying the area of service disruption.
In today's businesses, an application going down can mean millions of dollars in lost revenue. Learn how to optimize the performance of your enterprise applications powered by MongoDB with IBM Application Performance Management (APM). IBM APM will give you full visibility into your application stack and infrastructure, track every transaction going through it, and help you diagnose problems in mere minutes. With built-in analytics to predict outages before they occur and integration directly into MMS, IBM APM is a must-have solution to keep your business-critical applications up and your revenue flowing.
Netreo whitepaper 5 ways to avoid it management becoming shelfwarePeter Reynolds
This document provides 5 ways to keep IT management software from becoming shelfware or unused after purchase. The top reasons software becomes shelfware are: 1) Too many unnecessary alerts that are ignored; 2) Having to access information from multiple sources; 3) Complex interfaces that are difficult to use; 4) High maintenance and administration needs; 5) Purchasing more licenses than needed. The document recommends focusing on minimizing unnecessary alerts, providing a single dashboard, simplifying the interface, reducing administration through automation, and subscription-based purchasing to avoid shelfware.
Time & Attendance System Purchasing Guide - Purchasing.comPurchasing.com
Time and attendance systems dramatically simplifying accounting procedures while ensuring total compliance with all labor requirements. Widely used by businesses of every size, they automate the tracking of an employee's time.
This purchasing guide covers everything you'll need to make an informed purchase decision on a time and attendance system for your company.

This document discusses best practices and potential pitfalls when moving processes and applications to software as a service (SaaS) models. It notes that SaaS can provide operational efficiencies but also new types of vendor lock-in and loss of control. The document provides many questions to ask SaaS providers regarding data ownership, customization capabilities, service level agreements, privacy and more. It warns that unforeseen consequences may arise from issues like infrastructure transparency, dependency on providers, management of multiple SaaS tools, and security risks if user accounts are compromised.
SaaS has transformed your business. The numbers say you’re running at least 4 apps today, powering everything from Sales to Operations to IT. SaaS delivers agility.
So why would you need to monitor Salesforce.com, NetSuite, Marketo, or Office365? The more you run on SaaS, the more your business resiliency is dependent on actionable performance insight.
The document discusses quality measurement in production using DevOps principles. It introduces concepts like Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to measure quality beyond a simple pass/fail. As a test engineer, opportunities exist to help identify SLIs, drive SLOs through scenario writing, and collaborate across teams to understand customer expectations. Monitoring features in production through SLOs allows issues to be found before significant user impact.

Whitepaper: Volume Testing Thick Clients and DatabasesRTTS
Even in the current age of cloud computing there are still endless benefits of developing thick client software: non-dependency on browser version, offline support, low hosting fees, and utilizing existing end user hardware, to name a few.
It's more than likely that your organization is utilizing at least a few thick client applications. Now consider this: as your user base grows, does your think client's back-end server need to grow as well? How quickly? How do you ensure that you provide the correct amount of additional capacity without overstepping and unnecessarily eating into your profits? The answer is volume testing.
Read how RTTS does this with IBM Rational Performance Tester.
This document provides a summary of key considerations for choosing and implementing an ERP system. It discusses the value of ERP systems in integrating business processes and providing real-time data. It also compares on-premise versus cloud-based ERP solutions, noting advantages of cloud solutions like lower costs, automatic updates, mobility, and scalability. The document provides questions for evaluating different ERP options and identifies factors that indicate a business could benefit from a cloud-based ERP system.
An ERP system integrates various business processes like inventory, order management, accounting, human resources and customer relationship management into a single system. Cloud ERP solutions provide various benefits over on-premise systems like lower costs, easier upgrades, mobility, flexibility and scalability. Businesses are moving to Cloud ERP for cost savings, flexibility, mobility, automatic updates, security and compliance. The document examines factors to consider when choosing between on-premise and cloud ERP and concludes that cloud ERP now provides opportunities for businesses of all sizes.
Mint.com started as a prototype created by the author using open source tools with no prior startup experience. The initial prototype focused on differentiating features like aggregating financial accounts and transactions. As users grew, performance issues arose due to increased load on servers and databases. To address these growing pains, the architecture was optimized by separating tiers, adding caching, database sharding, and more. Key lessons were to focus first on critical user problems in prototypes, continuously measure performance, and optimize based on demand to balance latency, throughput, and quality as the user base expanded.
This document discusses the pitfalls of using ineffective IT monitoring solutions, such as outdated freeware, multiple point solutions, or costly tools that provide disjointed views of systems. It describes three common pitfalls organizations face: extended downtime from poor troubleshooting, high costs and inefficiencies from managing multiple tools, and inability to support new technologies. The document uses a fictional example of an online retailer experiencing a major outage due to these issues. It then promotes the CA Nimsoft Monitor Snap solution as a free, unified monitoring platform that avoids these pitfalls and helps organizations transform their IT monitoring.
The document discusses the importance of assessing networks from both the perspective of network architecture and how applications actually utilize the network from the packet level. It recommends using tools like packet sniffers to identify all delays from any source and quantify network performance data down to the microsecond. Taking a two-pronged approach of analyzing both the network design and how applications perform on the network provides a clear understanding of problems and their causes to guide resolution. The methodology is neutral and does not assume faults lie in either the network or applications before assessing both.

Accelerate and Streamline Performance Testing with AI-powered Test Automation...RohitBhandari66
Performance testing is the process of determining a system's stability and responsiveness under a particular workload. Performance tests are typically conducted to assess application size, speed, resilience, and dependability.
A computerized accounting system provides businesses with an efficient way to manage finances digitally. It automates processes like data entry, document production, and account updates that were previously done manually and prone to human error. While an initial investment, accounting software offers advantages like speed, accuracy, real-time information access, and cost savings over time compared to traditional paper-based systems. Potential downsides include upfront software and computer costs, reliance on technology functioning properly, increased needs for security and training, as well as a learning curve for new users.
Role and advantage of computerized account systemHassan Ahmed
Computerized accounting systems have several advantages over manual systems, including increased speed, accuracy, and availability of information. However, computerized systems also have some limitations. They require upfront and ongoing costs, and businesses are dependent on the computers and software functioning properly. Computerized systems can also be subject to data errors and fraud. Accounting in general has limitations, such as using estimates and historical costs, limited predictive value, and qualitative factors not being measurable. Manual accounting systems are time consuming, prone to errors, inefficient, and have other disadvantages compared to computerized systems.

Accelerate and Streamline Performance Testing with AI-powered Test Automation...RohitBhandari66
Performance testing is the process of determining a system's stability and responsiveness under a particular workload. Performance tests are typically conducted to assess application size, speed, resilience, and dependability.
A computerized accounting system provides businesses with an efficient way to manage finances digitally. It automates processes like data entry, document production, and account updates that were previously done manually and prone to human error. While an initial investment, accounting software offers advantages like speed, accuracy, real-time information access, and cost savings over time compared to traditional paper-based systems. Potential downsides include upfront software and computer costs, reliance on technology functioning properly, increased needs for security and training, as well as a learning curve for new users.
Role and advantage of computerized account systemHassan Ahmed
Computerized accounting systems have several advantages over manual systems, including increased speed, accuracy, and availability of information. However, computerized systems also have some limitations. They require upfront and ongoing costs, and businesses are dependent on the computers and software functioning properly. Computerized systems can also be subject to data errors and fraud. Accounting in general has limitations, such as using estimates and historical costs, limited predictive value, and qualitative factors not being measurable. Manual accounting systems are time consuming, prone to errors, inefficient, and have other disadvantages compared to computerized systems.

Title: Open Source and Public Policy
Abstract: New regulations in the software industry and adjacent areas such as AI, open science, open data, and open education are on the rise around the world. Cyber Security, societal impact of AI, data and privacy are paramount issues for legislators globally. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic drove collaborative development to unprecedented levels and took Open Source software, open research, open content and data from mainstream to main stage, creating tension between public benefit and citizen safety and security as legislators struggle to find a balance between open collaboration and protecting citizens.
Historically, the open source software community and foundations supporting its work have not engaged in policy discussions. Moving forward, thoughtful development of these important public policies whilst not harming our complex ecosystems requires an understanding of how our ecosystem operates. Ensuring stakeholders without historic benefit of representation in those discussions becomes paramount to that end.
Please join our open discussion with open policy stakeholders working constructively on current open policy topics. Our panelists will provide a view into how oss foundations and other open domain allies are now rising to this new challenge as well as seizing the opportunity to influence positive changes to the public’s benefit.
Topics: Public Policy, Open Science, Open Education, current legislation in the US and EU, US interest in OSS sustainability, intro to the Open Policy Alliance

Title: Scaling Web Applications with Background Jobs: Takeaways from Generating a Huge PDF
Abstract: Do you need to perform time-consuming or CPU-intensive processes in your web application but are concerned about performance? That’s where background jobs come in. By offloading resource-intensive tasks to separate worker processes, you can improve the scalability of your web application.
In this talk, I'll share my experience of using background jobs to scale our web application. I'll discuss the challenges my team faced that led us to adopt background jobs. Then, I'll share practical tips on how to design background jobs for CPU-intensive or time-consuming processes, such as generating huge PDFs and batch emailing. I'll wrap up by going over the performance and cost tradeoffs of background jobs.
I'll use Typescript, Express, and Heroku as examples in this talk, but the concepts and best practices that I'll share are applicable to other languages and tools.

Abstract: Database journal files capture every update to a database. A database of a few hundred GB can generate GBs worth of journal files every minute at busy times. Troubleshooting and forensices, especially of rare and intermittent problems, such as which process made what update and when, is an exercise of finding needles in haystacks. A similar problem exists with syslogs. A solution is to load the journal files and syslogs into a database, and use SQL to query the database. Bhaskar will present and demonstrate this with a 100% FOSS stack.

Build Developer Experience Teams for Open SourceAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Arundeep Nagaraj - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Title: Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Abstract: Open Source has become the default strategy for many IT organizations and Enterprises. However, the constant challenge with Open Source leaders of these organizations has been -
How is my product's developer experience?
Is this the right metric to track?
How can I scale my team to support our products better?
How can I add automation to scale redundant workflows?
If my product involves working with developers, how can I scale to the complexity of the requests and reduce Engineering bandwidth?
The challenges within support of open source products continues to magnify depending on the end user persona whether they are consumers or contributors to your product. Consumers utilize your product, SDK's and API's and are blocked with using it or run into issues, whereas contributors are advanced users of your software that understands the codebase to provide a meaningful contribution back to the product.
The answer to the above is to look at Open Source support as a first-class citizen of your corporate support strategy. To employ the right level of developer focused support as opposed to traditional infrastructure based support is key to scale to the amount of developers using your product. Supporting customers in the open involves more than pure support - building customer / developer experiences (DX) in the open (across platforms and communities) that pivots over the ability of your product's users or developers to be focused on the end-to-end value add. This helps with your active developer growth and retention of users.
Key Takeaways:
- IT leaders of Open Source will learn to employ strategies to build a DX team that engages on multiple platforms
- Work on identifying accurate metrics for product and organization
- Innovate on platforms such as Discord to build a bot and a dashboard
- Ability to leverage customer feedback and iterate over the customer success flywheel
- Distinguish between DX and Developer Advocacy (DA)

Sudo – Giving access while staying in controlAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Peter Czanik - One Identity
Title: Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Abstract: Sudo is used by millions to control and log administrator access to systems, but using the default configuration only, there are plenty of blind spots. Using the latest features in sudo let you watch some previously blind spots and control access to them. Here are four major new features, which arrived since the 1.9.0 release, allowing you see your blind spots:
- configuring a working directory or chroot within sudo often makes full shell access redundant
- JSON-formatted logs give you more details on events and are easier to act on
- relays in sudo_logsrvd make session recording collection more secure and reliable
- you can log and control sub-commands executed by the command run through sudo
Let us take a closer look at each of these.
Previously, there were quite a few situations where you had to give users full shell access through sudo. Typical examples include when you need to run a command from a given directory, or running commands in a chroot environment. You can now configure the working directory or the chroot directory and give access only to the command the user really needs.
Logging is a central role of sudo, to see who did what on the system. Using JSON-formatted log messages gives you even more information about events. What is even more: structured logs are easier to act on. Setting up alerting for suspicious events is much easier when you have a single parser to configure for any kind of sudo logs. You can collect sudo logs not only by local syslog, but also by using sudo_logsrvd, the same application used to collect session recordings.
Speaking of session recordings: instead of using a single central server, you can now have multiple levels of sudo_logsrvd relays between the client and the final destination. This allows session collection even if the central server is unavailable, providing you with additional security. It also makes your network configuration simpler.
Finally, you can log sub-commands executed from the command started through sudo. You can see commands started from a shell. No more unnoticed shell access from text editors. Best of all: you can also intercept sub-commands.
These are just a few of the most prominent features helping you to watch and control previous blind spots on your systems. See these and other possibilities in action in some live demos during our presentation.

Agenda
4. Logs vs
Metrics Imagine collecting information such as when your
application throws an error, recording time required to
perform actions or client activity such as logging in.
Logs allow us to capture events, in detail, and store
them for analysis. One of the most common log are
access logs for web services, i.e. a record of who has
visited your website, what page they visited, browser
type and even how long it took to return information to a
user.
Metrics are the aggregation of events in a time period,
for example, 1,045 web site visits in the last minute.
5. Logging
The raw truth
The individualism of logs allow us
to pick out singlar events, such
as a single error or delayed
response and are often chained
together with other logs to form a
story to see how users and
information flow through your
system.
We don’t just look for errors, the absence of logs from a source,
either looked at individually or as a count by server can provide us
valuable insight when a server or service goes offline.
Logs Provide us raw data to aggregate in differing ways to
allow us to generate queries to answer specific questions.
By watching for specific events in logs, for example, high response times,
errors, we can build alerting to inform us of when systems are not
performing correctly.
Not only can we look for the absence of logs, but we can track
users, page to page to determine where users leaving, or even if a
website isn’t allowing users to advance to the next step.
6. Metrics
The truth in
aggregate
When we look at logs, the
majority of the time, we’re looking
at an aggregate view, how many
of what in what amount of time.
Multiple cloud providers now
provide information is an easy to
use, metric. For example, the
number of visitors, average
response time or even number of
times error pages are displayed.
In the cloud, the same metric is often available over multiple provider
offerings, for example, 500 web errors are a metric common to Load
Balancers, CloudFront and other web services in AWS.
Unlike logs, aggregated metrics are specifically set to only
count in a singular, boilerplate, out of the box way.
Alerting on metrics provide us with a quick and simple method of saying, do
I have any errors? Is my web server running slow? Am I using too much
memory, cpu or disk space?
Metrics are less expensive to generate and keep than logs, they are
a low cost method of wrapping our systems in layers of alerting, with
the downside of not being able to drill into a singular event.
7. Watching Infrastructure - aka “The Servers”.
90% 90% 20% Pass / Fail 90%
Memory Usage on a server should be monitoring,
some systems will automatically reset your
container or application when out of memory, and
yet others simply provide unpredictable results.
Hard Drives, or
where the data often
goes, are critical,
imagine not being
able to write a new
customer’s order to
a database because
you ran out of space
Host Health - is the
physical box
healthy, is the
operating system
working?
CPU on a server should be monitored, low
CPU availability can lead to longer wait
times for customers and even timeouts or
failure to process items in a set amount of
time
8. Serverless architecture regardless of provider or advertised features, must still run
on a server. Lambda’s still require memory and processing time - metrics which
must be kept in check. Because you pay for what you use, if your Lambda’s take
twice as long now as they did yesterday, they will cost you twice as much. And
serverless databases are often constrained by queries per minute, concurrent
connectivity and can automatically scale without your consent.
While there are many advantages to Serverless - in some ways, it’s like giving a
teenager a cell phone - be careful, the overages can kill you!!
Monitor Memory usage for your
serverless applications.
Time is literally money, the longer
your process takes, the more it
costs.
Be very mindful of the limitations
and cost of serverless data
storage mechanism
When traffic increases, the more
serverless resources increase,
which means the more you pay.
Memory Processing Time Connections & Queries Scaling up is Paying Up
Hey! But ...
I’m SERVERLESS!
YO! It still runs on a server.
9. APM’s often will not capture any error a
developer has already captured in a try
catch statement! Imagine the frustration of
not seeing all the errors you were promised!
Most APM’s provide a method of making a
code change to send the exception to your
APM - but it increases substantially the roll
out cost of an APM.
APM
Monitoring Your Code
WARNING!!!!
APM, or Application Performance Monitoring is fast becoming a
new tool in increasing reliability and development cycles. With
the ability to simply drop modules into your code, server or
container, APM’s promise the visibility to track errors and slow
downs in your code along with inter system operability.
What?
APM often hooks into the “back door” of code, providing us
essential information such as how long an application waits for
an API call or database call takes to complete, the memory
usage, often broken out by different types or heaps of memory
and of course, application exceptions and errors.
APM can also allow you to see transactions as they flow from
and to different applications if they all have the same APM
instrumentation, allow you to see a map or path traveled and
assist in pinpointing issues in larger systems.
It should be noted, APM’s are often Metric based systems, and
are often known to only using a sampling or subset of the actual
data to represent information on the screen. While still useful,
this can introduce settle differences in APMs making on the
fence or hard to find issues, even more difficult to track.
10. Active Monitoring
Active
Monitoring
Synthetic Monitoring
Actively accessing your site, simulating a user
experience. Often includes a robotic login,
and clicking about to validate functionality of a
site
Watch Dogs
To ensure a system is alive, we often send
an outbound signal, or make an http web
call, every x minutes. If no call comes in
after a period of time, an alert is fired.
Simple Web Monitoring
Simply accessing a web page or API and
checking for specific results or result codes (like
200 success http responses) provides a simple
way of saying, is my website or api alive.
Certificate Validation
Actively checking the HTTPS secure
certificates and providing notification 15 to 30
days before they expire, will save the
embarrassment of expired certificates causing
revenue and user experience impacts.

12. The IMPACT!
Revenue & Customer Experience
The false belief that downtime is preventable!
Repeat after me,
“Downtime will happen.”,
say it again,
“Downtime will happen!”
There is only one promise I can make as we go through this presentation today - at
some point, systems have downtime - it’s absolutely unavoidable. How we plan to
recover from those outages, the decisions to build out redundancy and impact not just
in revenue but reputation are all part of a complex equation.
Beyond the discussion of architecture of application and systems, redundancy through
the use of multiple servers, resources, data centers and networking layers are all part
of a larger business discussion. I’ll say that again, for the most part, reliability due to
redundant resources, is a business, not a technical decision.
When reviewing downtime, customer and revenue impact should be thought of in a
time based equation - and downtime for customers can have crippling impacts into
app ratings, word of mouth limitations or worst, customer rants warding off new
customers.
Be Aware of the 100% uptime
promise! It’s often riddled with
exceptions for “emergency”
maintenance windows used to
cover up production issues.
13. The IMPACT!
Communication - Internal & External
The false belief that downtime is preventable!
Communication is about perception - and is perhaps one of the most important
aspects of both an outage and career advancement.
Communication is a balance - do we communicate that a 5 minute database slow
down to our customers and CEO? Likely no, the general rule I’ve used, is if it’s over
before the communication can be sent, or the impact is close to resolution - we’ll
typically not sent communication beyond IT leadership. Now this rule is a fair amount
of hands on learning for your organization, be flexible, validate your communication is
appropriate and accurate.
We communicate to our direct supervisor and hopefully up the chain to our CIO/CTO
because you never want these people to be asked, what’s going on - without
immediately having an answer for other members of the C-Suite. This empowers your
managers and will have a positive impact on your career.
Communication to customers is a business decision, and in this, I would bring in
marketing and legal for a discussion of pre-canned messages. This is extremely
critical for larger outages - and remember, think about how you’d feel as a customer.
When you have an outage, nothing
is better than the truth. Want to
know how to do it right? Research

Agenda
15. The idea that monitoring alerts can be done as code, pushed out through
API’s to different systems, saving both the time of manual implementation
but also reducing the cost of errors during this manual implementation.
Monitoring as code
Cloud providers, have the capability of giving you a list of all the
architecture in your account via an api call, library or command line
interface. This allows us to ask, what servers do I have?
Cloud System’s and API’s
Tagging on architecture, is typically descriptive, like “MySQL Customer
Database”. If we look at this deeper, we find example after example of
using Tags to define how other parts of architecture react together.
Tagging - the what is it
Not only can we ask a cloud provider for a list of all cloud architecture
elements, we can do the same in our monitoring system. Ensuring we
compare these lists - we can validate, all systems are being monitored.

Monitoring as Code
Monitoring is often rolled out based
on seperate applications and needs.
And are rolled out as multiple
independent systems.
But there is a more elegant way to
roll out automated monitoring using
code - here’s how.
Start with Monitoring Templates
Review all architecture used or
you want to use, and generate
alerts to address your business
needs. From these, you can build
a standard set of alerts.
Step through your
architecture!
Step through each object in
your cloud account -
capturing both the object
name, and tags defining
custom template
adjustments.
Rinse and Repeat
Repeating the roll out daily
ensure manual changes are
rolled back and new
architecture is monitored
quickly - and without
intervention.
Roll it out!
Now that you have the
objects, and their custom
adjustments, using the
templates, alerting can be
created or updated.
Did you know?
None of the current leaders in
Monitoring offer a system so simple
or clean - and one has to wonder
why?
17. Routing your Monitoring Alerts
Ensure your alerts include meta
data that can be used to determine
importance and team ownership
Alerts Generated
Processing Alerts can be complex,
routing alerts to teams and setting
hours for specific levels of alerting.
Alert Processing (PagerDuty)
Alert Fatigue, the cry wolf of IT, is when alerts which don’t require
immediate resolution, are routed incorrectly or importance is not in
alignment with the company's needs. I.e. when you get alerts that you
shouldn’t be and they wake you up at 3am continuously, those linkedin
invites for a new job - they become more and more tempting.
Alert Fatigue - the fastest way to start searching for new Team Mates
When you reach out to employees after hours, you
should have an escalation policy to reach out to the back
up person automatically.
It’s very important that Expectations are set with the
entire team, does a laptop travel with on call engineers?
Do engineers come in late if they’ve been up all night?
When do you wake up your entire team for a team
response?
Set Paging Escalation and Expectations
Alerts vs Warnings! Consider adding
warnings for most alerts, for example hard
drive space. This allows working hour based
support which can prevent the 3am wake up.

19. Getting Started
A
B
C
Monitoring and Alerting has the highest return on investment you’ll likely see in
your business, if you keep the costs under control.
Starting with the alerting capabilities of the cloud provider is a quick and least
expensive start up, and it helps you understand the data available from your
systems when and if you purchase a third party tool.
Generating a script to apply templates, should be quick and simple - adding tag
based rule exceptions, or even entire template versioning - provides a level of
coverage quickly and at a low cost.
Ensuring when monitoring is triggered, you are treating the alert appropriately,
i.e. dev servers shouldn’t wake you at 3am in the morning. Ensuring we keep
production alerts with direct and immediate impact going to engineers, while
capturing other alerts for processing the next business day will not only keep
your staff happy, but prevent churn in an industry where demand is very high.
Finally, talk about outages and downtime as a business decision. Like a fire drill,
know what the response will be, know who is required to do what - and who their
backup is and ultimately, determine what and how is to be released to who.
