threatbus VS Grafana

Tenzir | C++, ReasonML, Rust, Python | Hamburg, Germany or Remote (EU timezones) | Open-source | Full-time | https://tenzir.com

Tenzir is an early-stage startup that builds a next generation data-plane for modern Security Operations Centers. It is our mission to help defenders pull ahead by integrating widely used open source tools and building solutions that reduce the time to detect attacks and help with post-mortem investigations. To that end, we develop the high-performance C++ database [VAST](https://github.com/tenzir/vast) with a ReasonML-based frontend that is served by a Rust API. We also develop [Threat Bus](https://github.com/tenzir/threatbus), a dissemination layer for threat intelligence, which orchestrates detection and response products in a publish/subscribe architecture.

Tenzir | Hamburg, Germany| DevOps Platform Engineer | FULL-TIME | REMOTE | €70-80k | https://tenzir.com

Tenzir is seeking an experienced and passionate DevOps / Platform engineer who enjoys bringing open-core security technology into production deployment shape. We cultivate a UNIX-centric mindset: security operators use our high-performance C++ database VAST (https://github.com/tenzir/vast) to hunt in telemetry data, either via the CLI or our ReasonML-based frontend getting its data through a Rust API.

We also develop Threat Bus (https://github.com/tenzir/threatbus), a messaging layer for federating security content.

=== Role & Responsibilities ===

- Improve our CI/CD pipelines for continuous releases with GitHub Actions to build projects of different languages on various platforms and to automate unit and integration testing.

- Automate continuous deployment strategies in different environments, for our own staging and production clusters, but also on-prem (appliances) or with different cloud providers.

- Implement a reliable backend infrastructure for appliance and fleet management, configuration management and multi-layer VPNs.

- Write integrations with other tools from the (security) ecosystem to support a wider range of data formats.

- Be responsible for entire infrastructure segments, from whiteboard design to implementation and automation for production systems.

=== Interview Process ===

1. Fill out the application form at https://tenzir.com/career/devops-platform-engineer/

2. Phone call to get to know each other and identify potential roadblocks (30min)

3. Technical interview(s) (1-2h)

Monitoring application logs is a crucial aspect of the software development and deployment lifecycle. In this post, we'll delve into the process of observing logs generated by Docker container applications operating within HashiCorp Nomad. With the aid of Grafana, Vector, and Loki, we'll explore effective strategies for log analysis and visualization, enhancing visibility and troubleshooting capabilities within your Nomad environment.

To help us visualize these scenarios, we'll build a Grafana Dashboard so we can follow along.

Visualization and Analysis: Choose a tool with intuitive and customizable dashboards, charts, and visualizations. A question to ask is, "Are the visualization features of this tool user-friendly and adaptable to our team's specific needs?" Tools like Grafana and Kibana provide powerful visualization capabilities.

Prometheus: Open-source monitoring system. Often used together with Grafana.

Grafana

Yes I'm aware that Grafana is open source but the method I used to find the API endpoints is far quicker than digging through hundreds of files in a codebase I'm not familiar with.

So, you will add one last container to allow us to visualize this data: Grafana, an open-source analytics and visualization platform that allows us to see traces and metrics simply. You can set Grafana to read data from both Tempo and Prometheus by setting them as datastores with the following grafana.datasource.yaml config file:

In example above, we use 2 additional parameters: code (HTTP response code) and page (page identifier), which provide detailed statistics. For example, you can build such graphs in Grafana:

Robin switched to the Grafana dashboard tab, and sure enough, the 5xx volume on web service was rising. It had not hit the critical alert thresholds yet, but customers had already started noticing.
