Data center network monitoring best practices part 2: Network alerting, a deeper dive

Network monitoring without alerting is like having a clock without any hands. In the previous post, Eric discussed setting up a monitoring strategy, and in it we scraped the surface of network alerting. In this post we dive into alerting more deeply.

Network alerting on relevant data

Alerting comes in many forms. In the previous post, we discussed how metrics can be set with thresholds to create alerts. This is the most basic level of alerting. CPU alerts are set at 90% of utilization. Disk usage alerts are set to 95% of utilization. There are at least two drawbacks with this level of alerting.

First, by alerting on metric thresholds, we limit ourselves to the granularity of the metrics. Consider a scenario where interface statistics are gathered every five minutes. That limits the ability to capture anomalous traffic patterns to a five minute interval, and at the fast pace of modern datacenters, that level of granularity isn’t acceptable. Limiting the alerting ability based on the thresholds.

Secondly, there are many times when alerts from certain metrics don’t create any actionable activities. For example, an alert on CPU utilization may not directly have an impact on traffic. Since switch CPUs should Continue reading

NSA ends surveillance tactic that pulled in citizens’ emails, texts

The U.S. National Security Agency will no longer sift through emails, texts and other internet communications that mention targets of surveillance.The change, which the NSA announced on Friday, stops a controversial tactic that critics said violated U.S. citizens' privacy rights.The practice involved flagging communications where a foreign surveillance target was mentioned, even if that target wasn't involved in the conversation. Friday’s announcement means the NSA will stop collecting this data.“Instead, this surveillance will now be limited to only those communications that are directly ‘to’ or ‘from’ a foreign intelligence target,” the NSA said in a statement.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Stealthy Mac malware spies on encrypted browser traffic

A new malware program that targets macOS users is capable of spying on encrypted browser traffic to steal sensitive information.The new program, dubbed OSX/Dok by researchers from Check Point Software Technologies, was distributed via email phishing campaigns to users in Europe.One of the rogue emails was crafted to look as if it was sent by a Swiss government agency warning recipients about apparent errors in their tax returns. The malware was attached to the email as a file called Dokument.zip.What makes OSX/Dok interesting is that it was digitally signed with a valid Apple developer certificate. These certificates are issued by Apple to members of its developer program and are needed to publish applications in the official Mac App Store.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Worth Reading: Joining together to fight spam

Last October, in the vibrant city of Bangkok, the Internet Society joined regulators for an in-depth conversation about how to eliminate spam and its harmful effects. Our kind hosts were the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the International Institute of Communications (ICC). The CRTC has published a comprehensive and insightful report on the workshop, capturing the key issues, observations, and ways forward. We encourage you to read it carefully. First and foremost, take note of the answer to “why act now?” – it’s a shared responsibility. —The Internet Society
