In our migration journey from multiple VMs to OpenShift, one mandatory step is the integration with our company’s Active Directory. This is the default IdP for our services like Jenkins, NetEye, etc., and we want to centralize authentication and permissions as much as possible. Integration with OpenShift is less straightforward than it is with other…
Read MoreBy default all metrics in InfluxDB are stored forever, but for certain metrics we need to store them for a much shorter time span.

Read MoreToday I want to talk about a topic that, although it is (and always has to be) in the spotlight, is seeing its popularity skyrocket even more in recent months: how to handle Secrets and Personal Data with NetEye. And I’m not talking about the right way to use Director’s Data Fields, how to hide…

Read MoreIn August I had the opportunity to assist an experienced consultant who was upgrading a NetEye cluster. Now, I’m a software developer, and while I know the consultants here who work with clients, I’ve always worked at the Würth Phoenix offices. I’ve never actually gone out in the field. So my goal was to try…
Read MoreSince one apparently just can’t have enough parts of a multi-part blog post, why not one more? Let’s depart slightly from the usual themes, because I want to talk about something that’s applicable to videos that are slightly more marketing oriented than your typical tutorial videos. Of course you could always make full-blown marketing videos…

But can we take that idea even further? For instance, could we use data we’ve already collected to…
