Ryan Lambert: Load and query Pi-hole data from Postgres
Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. By Ryan Lambert -- Published February 01, 2021I have used Pi-hole on our local network for a few years now. It is running on a dedicated Raspberry Pi 3B attached to the router (Netgear Nighthawk) to provide fast local DNS/DCHP while blocking ads at the network level. The built-in Pi-hole web interface allows for some basic querying/reporting of the collected data, but it's a bit limited and quite slow as the data grows over time. My current pihole-FTL.db database is 1.4 GB and contains 12 months of data. $ ls -alh /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db -rw-r--r-- 1 pihole pihole 1.4G ... Read More

To achieve this, Instana has fully automated the installation of the monitoring agent into ... Read More

Resilient IT Through DevOps
Feed: Puppet.com Blog RSS Feed. Author: ; If you haven’t yet noticed that prioritization of non-functional requirements (NFRs) is changing amongst your user base, you will soon. For decades, we have held to the same familiar set of NFRs. Every team had its own definition and particular spin on NFRs, but the usual suspects are accessibility, availability, extensibility, interoperability, maintainability, performance, reliability, scalability, security, and usability. But new priorities have surfaced, as IT has experienced a sea change over the past few years. Some organizations have even adopted completely new NFRs. The rise of DevOps has coincided with these changes, ... Read More

Quick hit: ‘dig’-ging Into r-project.org DNS Records with {processx}
Feed: R-bloggers. Author: hrbrmstr. The r-project.org domain had some temporary technical difficulties this week (2019-29) that made reaching R-related resources problematic for a bunch of folks for a period of time. Incidents like this underscore the need for regional and network diversity when it comes to ensuring the availability of DNS services. That is, it does no good if you have two DNS servers if they’re both connected to the same power source and/or network connection since if power goes out or the network gets wonky no client will be able to translate r-project.org to an IP address that it ...

Feed: erwin Expert Blog – erwin, Inc.. Author: Martin Owen. The only thing that’s constant for most organizations is change. Today there’s an unprecedented, rapid rate of change across all industry sectors, even those that have been historically slow to innovate like healthcare and financial services.In the past, managing ideation to the delivery of innovation was either not done or was relegated within organizational silos, creating a disconnect across the business.
