Agentic coding tools promise to move beyond code completion. Instead of asking an assistant to generate a function or explain an error, we give it a goal and let it inspect a repository, plan a change, edit several files, run tests, and iterate. That shift is powerful, but it also changes the engineering trade-offs: success…
Read MoreIntroduction Managing a service desk is usually straightforward when the team is small. A request comes in, someone picks it up, and the work gets done. Things become more complicated when the service desk grows. Different teams start supporting different services, people work in shifts, some requests require specific skills, and workload is no longer…
Read MoreScheduling roulette You apply a deployment, run kubectl get pods, and there they are: every Pod neatly sitting on some node. It feels a bit like roulette. You spin the wheel and the Pod lands wherever it lands. The good news is that wheel is not as random as it looks. In this article I’d…
Read MoreWhen using Kubernetes on bare metal, exposing a LoadBalancer Service usually requires some mechanism to make the Service IP reachable from the surrounding network. With Cilium, one possible solution is L2 Announcements. Cilium can answer ARP or NDP requests for the LoadBalancer IP, effectively making that IP reachable from the local network. At first sight,…
Read MoreHmmm, that question sounds familiar… maybe I wrote about something similar in the past, for instance Would You Use an AI Chatbot to Write Your Blog Post? That time I was saying that a lot of people were beginning to write their blog posts with the help of AI. And that the result was wonderful…
Read MoreThe use of containers has now become part of everyday activities: in many cases we use them as software appliances or black-boxes. Sometimes, however, it happens that these black-boxes do not work as we expect or we would like to be able to evaluate their performance as the load increases. Today we are going to…
Read MoreIf you have spent any real time with an AI coding agent, you know the feeling. The first twenty minutes are great, the agent finds the right file, makes the right edit, explains itself clearly, this is amazing, what a time to be alive! Just like when you are stuck in a 3 hours meeting,…
Read MoreWhy shared devices need dedicated governance Not every IT asset is assigned to an individual employee. Monitors, docking stations, meeting-room equipment, printers and other devices are often shared across an office or location. Although these assets have no individual owner, they still represent a significant operational and financial value. Without regular verification, they can become…
Read MoreToday, I’d like to share some exciting news about the latest feature we’re about to introduce to NetEye Cloud. As the title suggests, the Automatic Discovery of Monitoring Objects feature is now ready for rollout and will be made generally available to all NetEye Cloud customers within the next few weeks, if not days. In…
Read MoreFixes for nginx and nginx-satellite We identified and fixed two issues affecting nginx resource management during service and resource restarts. nginx-satellite.service An issue could leave nginx worker processes running after nginx-satellite.service entered a failed state. These processes could continue listening on the configured ports and cause Address already in use errors during a restart. The…
Read MoreJira Automation can create native issue links inside one site, but the standard link action doesn’t cover issues stored on two separate Atlassian sites. You can work around this limitation by creating reciprocal application links and calling Jira’s remote issue link REST API. The reliable pattern uses one authenticated request for each direction, with a…
Read MoreMore tools don’t mean more intelligence. Especially when the model runs on your own hardware. Let’s be honest: Ever since the Model Context Protocol became the de facto standard for connecting an LLM to the outside world, a sort of hoarding race has begun. One MCP server for the filesystem, one for Git, one for…
Read MoreData exfiltration is rarely as obvious as a large file being copied to an attacker-controlled server. In many environments, sensitive information leaves through channels that look legitimate: a cloud storage service, a familiar application, an unusual destination country, or a removable device. This is where Elastic’s Data Exfiltration Detection (DED) package can help. Instead of…
Read MoreIn this article, I will show how we automated the creation of customer tickets from relevant NetEye Cloud monitoring events.
Read MoreWhen you create custom fields with the Fields plugin for GLPI, the container defines which itemtypes show the new tab. If you later need to add more itemtypes (for example Certificate or Domain), the web interface isn’t enough: you have to work directly on the database. In this article we explain why a manual intervention…
