When 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 MoreNetEye upgrade causes RPMS of next release to be upgraded even if an update is required first We fixed a bug in NetEye 4.47 and 4.48 that caused the neteye upgrade command to update some NetEye packages even when packages from the previous version had not yet been installed by neteye update. List of updated…
Read MoreOne of your servers is reporting moderate CPU usage, enough available memory, and storage that’s busy but not saturated. The dashboard looks healthy, the application does not. Requests to it are slowing down, background jobs are taking longer, and latency is rising even though no resource appears fully exhausted. The problem here is that most…
Read MoreFix HEAD HTTP method not supported We resolved a compatibility issue affecting HEAD requests to NetEye endpoints. These requests could previously time out because the method was not fully supported by the underlying architecture. As a result, some procedures could fail, including the creation of connectors from the Kibana UI. List of updated packages To…
Read MoreModern platforms rarely consist of a single application. Instead, they are ecosystems: monitoring, logging, visualization, ITSM, and a fair amount of glue holding everything together. In environments like NetEye, this translates into components such as Icinga 2 and Icinga Web 2 (along with all of their custom modules), Grafana, Elasticsearch/Kibana, GLPI, and more. Each of…
Read MoreKubernetes Operators are one of those ideas that feel magical when they work: you declare an intent/goal in YAML, and software continuously makes the cluster match it – handling upgrades, failures, drift, and lifecycle cleanup: like a purpose-built SRE on autopilot. Although in theory it looks like sci-fi fiction, in practice Operators are just code…
Read MoreAs our company’s NetEye cloud solution NetEye.cloud expands, we’re deploying compute nodes not only in our own data centers but, on customer premises across the globe – connected through satellite links. This hybrid, geo-distributed model creates a very tough challenge: How can we manage configuration across hundreds of remote machines reliably, and at scale? Why…
Read MoreSatellite config creation in HA mode using zone names with whitespaces We’ve addressed an issue where running the neteye satellite config create for a satellite configured in HA mode having whitespaces in the Zone name prevented the procedure to successfully execute. List of updated packages To solve the issues mentioned above, the following packages have…
Read MoreFix redirect to __SELF__ We resolved a bug for which sometimes during the login workflow an automatic redirect to __SELF__ was performed, forcing the user to manually change the URL on the browser tab. List of updated packages To solve the issues mentioned above, the following packages have been updated for NetEye 4.43:
Read MoreHi! Today I want to talk to you about a nice tool that I stumbled upon in recent weeks: n8n. In these days automation has become a key driver for efficiency and innovation. From streamlining repetitive tasks to connecting disparate systems, businesses and developers are turning to automation platforms to save time and reduce human…
Read MoreAt Würth Phoenix, we’re no strangers to the ever-evolving world of technology. As part of our continuous innovation process and culture, we’ve been enhancing our user guide to support Elasticsearch’s ELSER model for semantic search. The goal is to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our searches, powered by machine learning. However, in typical developer…
Read MoreAnsible is a powerful automation tool that simplifies the configuration, deployment, and management of systems. At its heart lies the concept of idempotency — the guarantee that applying the same operation any number of times will yield the same result. Writing your own Ansible collection can unlock a new level of customization and control for…
Read MoreWe have implemented a verification step in the neteye install, update, and upgrade processes to verify Kibana’s connectivity to the fleet integration endpoint when the NetEye instance operates behind a proxy without direct Internet access. Additionally, we have revised our User Guide to provide detailed instructions on configuring this aspect. Moreover, the rolling restart process…
