In the last few weeks the NetEye development team and the Alyvix development team have been collaborating to achieve support for Time Periods in Alyvix. In this blog post, we’d like to share some interesting challenges that this feature has brought to the developers. Disclaimer: as of the 28th of December, 2023 the Alyvix Time…
Read MoreA few months ago while navigating through our NetEye User Guide we noticed that it had a small bug that caused some words in the right-side menu to be slightly truncated in the particular case where that menu contained some monospace characters.

Read MoreRecently (in September 2023) NetEye integrated version 8.8 of the Elastic Stack, which is just one of many Elastic updates brought into NetEye 4.

Read MoreWhen deploying new features, releasing your code into a production environment might not be as easy as it seems. To ensure the minimal amount of service disruption, we might want to easily roll back to a previous configuration or to gradually migrate traffic to a new one. That’s where blue-green deployment comes to our aid….
Read MoreSometimes in NetEye 4 it happens that we need to understand why the system behaves in a certain way. Since a lot of the NetEye 4 GUI is still based on PHP, we use the most powerful tool to debug PHP: Xdebug. Xdebug is an extension of PHP which mainly provides a debugger and profiler….
Read MoreWe are continuously expanding our VueJs integration in NetEye, and we believe that having the opportunity to attend a dedicated conference, not far from home, was an opportunity not to be missed. So on the 10th of November, we joined the Vueday conference in Verona. Vueday is the main international conference in Italy that’s dedicated…

Read MoreWith the upcoming Rust version 1.75.0, two important new features will be stabilized. These features go by the names return-position impl Trait in trait (RPITIT) and async fn in trait (AFIT).
Read MoreHave you (like me) been spending too much time memorizing a script so in the final video you look as natural as possible? Maybe it’s because the ideas behind each video keep becoming more and more complicated, but I’m sure my scripts are longer than they used to be. And for me, there’s a point…
Read MoreOver the last few months, I’ve had the chance to work on a number of issues that involved many NetEye modules. In all these situations, we had to face the same problem: how to release a new module version without impacting the automated NetEye upgrade procedure. Nothing new for us, but we’d like to improve…
Read MoreHaving recently completed an internship at a lab at the University of Trento, I noticed how my work at Wuerth-Phoenix has greatly influenced the development of the research I conducted during my internship. In fact in this post I’d like to share my completed project and how it was influenced by my work in Wuerth-Phoenix’s…
