In 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…

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).

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…

It’s based on open-source tools like Icinga, NagVis, Grafana, Elastic Stack, among others, and is tailored for enterprise IT infrastructure monitoring, IT Operations Analytics (ITOA), and IT Service Management (ITSM). NagVis is an open-source visualization tool that provides graphical representations…
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…
Read MoreLately I’ve been receiving more and more inquiries about whether we can integrate OpenTelemetry into our NetEye system, and what the analysis would look like. For this reason, I’d like to use this article to briefly describe the range of features we offer with our NetEye Elastic APM solution. In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, ensuring…
Read MoreIn the context of IT management, migrating data between different environments can be a critical activity. GLPI is a widely used open-source platform for IT asset and help desk management. When transitioning from an on-premise instance to a cloud version (such as NE4 Cloud), the migration process can become extremely complex. This article analyzes a…

Spring is just around the corner, and could there be a better time for a hike to the beautiful Lake of Valdurna (Durnholzer See)? Nestled deep in the Valle di Valdurna in Val Sarentino, this triangular alpine lake stretches 900 meters long and 350…

Key takeaways: A comprehensive asset management database must necessarily be fed both automatically and by hand. Of course, the more data you can import automatically, the more the manual activity can focus on improving coverage, on adding responsibilities, descriptions and other data that is not (yet) available digitally, and of course on cross-checking and improving…
