While working on some internal tools, I needed secure access to a few PHP pages and virtual directories resources that, by default, didn’t have any built-in access control. Since NetEye already uses Keycloak as its authentication system, I decided to leverage it to handle login and user validation. This way I could avoid reinventing the…
Read MoreOne feature that’s widely used by customers for the enrichment of entities (hosts/services) within Icinga is custom_var. These can be used for a variety of reasons: to provide more information to end users about a device, faster classification, to integrate data used by other tools such as notification, etc… These variables can be managed directly…
Read MoreWelcome to version 4.43 of our NetEye v4 Unified Monitoring Platform. As you log in, you’ll be greeted by a sunlit glimpse of Chiusa (Klausen), where pastel‑hued houses cling to the steep valley walls and the ancient cathedral bell tower stands sentinel over the winding streets. Below, the Eisack River threads its way through the…
Read MoreAs enterprises move toward containerization and microservices, traditional job schedulers are often left behind. However, many organizations still rely on tried-and-true tools like SOS Berlin’s JobScheduler (now known as JADE under the JOC Cockpit umbrella). The good news? With a bit of engineering effort, you can bring JobScheduler into the world of containers. In this…
Read MoreIn this article I’ll guide you step-by-step through configuring Keycloak to connect to an LDAP server using a secure LDAPS (SSL/TLS) connection, with support for certificates signed by either internal or self-signed Certificate Authorities. This is especially useful in enterprise environments using Active Directory or a centralized LDAP server. This configuration is particularly relevant for…
Read MoreLately, we’ve been working extensively on integrating Prometheus alerts into NetEye. In most cases, we process the alerts sent by Alertmanager (Prometheus’ alert management system) using Tornado, where they are grouped based on labels – not following the traditional “Host” or “Service” structure. Our task is to “translate” these alerts into “hosts” and their corresponding…
Read MoreIn the first part we created hosts and services to monitor a sequence of script using Tornado. The Tornado Rule Now let’s continue with the creation of a Tornado rule: open the NetEye web interface and select Tornado dashboard, then open the processing tree and select Edit mode On. Add a filter with an appropriate…

WürthPhoenix is Gold partner for GLPI for Italy and for the German Market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol), thus with this blog article we engage the German (and Italian) readers.] Am 26.6 durfte…
Read MoreSome time ago, my colleague Giuseppe Di Garbo published this article on the NetEye Blog, where he explained how to integrate NetEye notifications with Telegram. It was a great starting point, and in fact many of us used it to enable NetEye’s notification system to send alerts directly to the Telegram app for many customers….
Read MoreIn some environments, Elastic Agent integrations can unexpectedly consume excessive memory. This can be due to various reasons: misbehaving integrations, memory leaks, or simply under-provisioned hosts. When this happens, the Linux Kernel may invoke the OoM (Out of Memory) killer of systemd, terminating the Elastic Agent service and usually, disrupting data ingestion. How to Detect…
Read MoreStarting in January I was offered the following challenge: Help customers use their NetEye system differently, that is, help customers exploit the potential of our system to move from a use that’s strictly related to monitoring to one more oriented towards the security arena, that is, creating a system in-house that can help them implement…
Read MoreWelcome to version 4.42 of our NetEye v4 Unified Monitoring Platform. Summer has arrived on the Seiser Alm, and with it, clear views of two of South Tyrol’s most iconic peaks: Langkofel (Sassolungo) and Plattkofel (Sassopiatto). From the trails that wind across the plateau, hikers can reach the summit cross of Sassopiatto at 2,964 meters,…
Read MoreIn the latest update to NetEye 4.42, we’re excited to announce the introduction of support for the Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header within the Icinga Web 2 interface. This enhancement plays a crucial role in strengthening your system’s defenses against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by controlling what resources a browser is allowed to load. What is Content…

Read MoreIcinga 2 is a powerful monitoring system that helps you keep track of your infrastructure. But like any monitoring tool, it can generate a lot of logs. Over time, these logs can accumulate, making it increasingly harder to find the critical information you need. If you’re using Icinga 2 on a Windows system, you might…
