We fixed a bug for which the Reporting scheduling service icinga-reporting.service was unable to send report after facing errors in the connection with MariaDB. For NetEye 4.14 we updated: icingaweb2-module-reporting and icingaweb2-module-reporting-autosetup package to version 0.9.1_neteye0.5.3-2
Read MoreIn the last 10-or-so years, the complexity of enterprise IT applications has greatly increased: each of them can span vertically with multiple (and complex) layers, and each layer can serve applications other than the one that it’s part of. And, obviously, each layer spans across several servers to increase performance and availability. This inevitably leads…
Read MoreAs an Atlassian partner we are working in this period on the preparation of an online demo system in parallel with the delivery of our new NetEye demo online service. For the occasion I decided to expand our already existing NetEye integration with the Atlassian ecosystem that you will find described in other previous blogs….
Read MoreIdentify and Mitigate Attacks Protecting against cyber-attacks is becoming a top-priority for corporates around the world. An effective strategy for the protection against such events should focus at least on two dimensions, namely threat intelligence and perimeter defense. Using ntopng and nscrub we demonstrate how to effectively identify and mitigate threats in corporate networks with practical recommendations, guidelines and future directions to effectively…
Read MoreIn a previous post we talked about how in NetEye we migrated all the Tornado communications from direct TCP to NATS. Since then, we’ve extensively and successfully adopted NATS as a communication channel for many of the components present in NetEye. As often happens when approaching new technologies, the initial straightforward approach did not turn…
Read MoreIn this article I’ll talk about Icinga DSL and how it can be extremely useful if you want to compute thresholds. Our goal today is to be able to change certain monitoring thresholds when some parameters change. Example The example I propose is the following: I’m a system administrator, and I would like the warning…
Read MoreIn the last few weeks, we collaborated with the Icinga2 developers to create a new powerful API, called “Execute Command“. The main purpose of this new API is to execute specific commands on a node by sending the request to the parent node. This is useful when the user cannot reach the desired node (an…
Read MoreThis article explains how to set up a NetEye4 satellite using a Raspberry Pi. This is not an official guide and this solution is not officially supported. As test-bed I used a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB of ram, 32GB microSD card and NetEye 4.12 single-node installation as master. Master Configuration Add a new zone…
Read MoreAs you may already know, starting with version 4.12 NetEye 4 upgraded its Icinga 2 engine from version 2.10.5 to version 2.11.3. At every training session, I always emphasize this rule: Icinga 2 Master Instance version >= Icinga 2 Satellite Instance version >= Icinga 2 Agent Instance version And thus everyone expects that his or…
Read MoreNetEye4 provides the Icinga Template Library and includes several plugins ready for use. The Icinga Template Library (ITL) implements standard templates and object definitions which allows for the very quick and effective use of plugins. These definitions are read-only and available through the Icinga Director > Commands > External Commands menu. Most of the plugins…
Read MoreAs the number of cybercrime events, incidents of identity theft, theft of intellectual property, and cyberattacks continue to rise, there is an increasing need to provide adequate network security to defend against these types of threats to organizations. Defending against these types of threats is very difficult for an organization, and the attacker will always…
Read MoreBeginning in NetEye 4.12 we introduced the neteye upgrade command, which enables NetEye users to automatically and safely perform a number of tasks needed to complete a NetEye upgrade, both in single instance environments as well as in cluster environments (have a look here for more information about the neteye upgrade command). In order to…
Read MoreAs a NetEye User I want to handle node failures when they happen in my cluster. When a node becomes unresponsive, it might still be accessing your data: the only way to ensure that a node is truly offline is to shut it down. This procedure is called fencing. NetEye 4 relies on Corosync/Pacemaker, also…
