How to Collect Cloudwatch AWS Logs in NetEye
Recently we had to monitor an EKS cluster and several other resources using NetEye. AWS already provides solid dashboards out of the box, but log analysis isn’t as flexible as in Elasticsearch, and costs can easily grow out of control. Our goals were to: AWS CloudWatch is a monitoring and observability service that collects logs,…
Read MoreElastic AutoOps in NetEye: Simplifying Elasticsearch Operations with Real-Time Intelligence
Introduction Managing Elasticsearch effectively – especially as environments grow in size and complexity – can quickly become a challenging task. Performance tuning, identifying the true root cause behind slowdowns, and optimizing resource allocation often demand specialized expertise and a significant investment in time. In enterprise ecosystems, where observability underpins critical services and reliability expectations are…
Read MoreOpenShift Monitoring in NetEye
Recently, it’s become noticeable that the use of OpenShift environments is spreading more and more, and has now firmly established itself within many companies. This naturally leads to the need to integrate these environments into monitoring in a sensible and purposeful way. Some of my colleagues have already written blog posts in the last few…

Welcome to version 4.46 of our NetEye v4 Unified Monitoring Platform. As you log in, you’ll be greeted by the iconic bell tower of Curon rising from the frozen surface of Lake Resia (Reschensee).

Read MoreStockroom Survival Guide: Manage Consumables in GLPI
Every IT department has it: the mythical stockroom with all those small parts, cables, plugs, adapters… and mice everywhere (each one with a long cable 😉). Once perfectly organized, it’s now the place where “things we might need someday” go to disappear – and no one remembers the rules for handing something out to the…

Automating Notifications in NetEye
Today we continue our journey into monitoring automation in NetEye. In my previous post we discussed the possibility of automating Business Processes. As you may remember, for those of us working on NetEye Cloud monitoring dozens of clients, it’s important to be able to standardize and automate the creation of BPs to have a consistent…
Read MoreMonitoring Your NetApp S3 Object Storage
Introduction to NetApp and S3 NetApp offers a unified data storage system. NetApp’s ONTAP operating system supports a combination of file, block, and object protocols. We can use common storage (disk array), such as NetApp AFF or FAS, and operate it as file, object, and block storage. On an existing ONTAP cluster, we can enable…
Read MoreRunning the Icinga Agent as SYSTEM? No Thanks.
A safer way to run privileged Windows checks with SystemRunner If you’ve been monitoring Windows for a while, you’ve probably seen this pattern: some checks must run as LocalSystem (S-1-5-18), and the “quick fix” is to run the Icinga Agent itself as SYSTEM. It works. It’s also a really bad idea. Why? SystemRunner takes a…
Read MoreMonitoring Access Points behind a Fortinet Firewall
A customer recently asked me to monitor their access points. Currently, they had no monitoring system for their 100+ access points other than a firewall view showing the status of individual access points. The firewall in question was a Fortigate 660e. I checked, and we already have an NEP that performs monitoring for Fortinet, which…

Read MoreGrafana – Node Graph and Icinga

This plugin, as described in the article: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/panels-visualizations/visualizations/node-graph/ , can be used to represent: To verify its usefulness within NetEye, we adapt it to the data present in Icinga. In this POC, we import our…

Suppose you’re using lots of maps to make the navigation of your IT infrastructure more user friendly for your (management) user who’s not at all technically minded. That person wants to see the IT status of their systems in graphical form, but there’s a problem in that the IT assets change over time, and it…
Read MoreElastic Defend: Experiences
Around this time last year, I wrote a blog post about improving cybersecurity with Elastic Defend. Now, one year later, we’ve gained a lot of practical experience with it, which I’d like to share. Elastic Defend is an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response). Unlike a traditional antivirus solution that relies on signature patterns that need…
Read MoreMassive Clean-up of the Icinga custom_var (Services)
During one of my last sessions with a customer I had to deal with a very particular use case, where I couldn’t use the solution presented in my previous blog post (https://www.neteye-blog.com/2025/08/massive-update-of-the-icinga-custom_var-host-services/). In this new scenario, the customer wanted to clean up a custom_var linked to a service, whose value, inherited from the host, had…
