In the upcoming ScienceLogic PowerHour we are covering the ‘Harden the Foundation’ of SL1 topic and why you should upgrade from existing Oracle Linux 7 (OL7) to the new Oracle Linux 8 ((OL8) platform. The virtual appliance format that SL1 utilizes allows us to harden the core with OL8 to improve platform security, scalability, and application performance. This session will share the value of that migration with your teams along with details that can be utilized in your internal conversations about the upgrade process. One of the most important aspects of the upgrade is Enhanced Security with OL8; which will enable SL1 users to support advanced security features. For instance: dedicated OL8 STIG builds with FIPS 140-2, TLS 1.3. Additionally, Package Application Streams DNF YUM Package Manager and Faster SL1 System Updates. Another major reason to join the PowerHour is the SL1 application improvements. With Increased Processing Speed of the Database, I/O Performance (Open 7K Business Svcs in 10sec) and, Large SQL queries which will enable the platform to have a roughly 30% faster query response. Join us for the May 22nd PowerHour and learn about all the options and value in the newest upgrades from ScienceLogic.

In today's dynamic IT landscape, operational efficiency and control are paramount for businesses to stay competitive and resilient. ScienceLogic'sRun Book Automation (RBA) offers a comprehensive solution aimed at streamlining operations, enhancing control, and identifying critical events. In SL1, creating an automation policy will define the event conditions that must be met before SL1 will trigger an automatic action. Consider a scenario where an unplanned network device configuration change triggers a compliance alert in SL1, but the alert doesn’t provide all the information necessary to determine the best action for resolution. ScienceLogic’s automations can collect additional event information through a python script and return the data to SL1 and/or your incident platform. With this full information set, the best course for remediation can be determined. If appropriate, automations can also assist with resolution steps to avoid human error as you work to reduce your mean time to repair (MTTR). This systematic approach ensures that key events are promptly addressed, reducing the risk of compliance violations and operational disruptions. Operational efficiency is further enhanced through tailored automation actions that alleviate repetitive tasks. Another common scenario is for a web server supporting the front-end of your most important application to have a performance problem that can come and go at a moment's notice. At the time of occurrence, the SL1 platform can trigger an automation to collect the necessary data that allows your support team to decide on the best resolution. Furthermore, if the resolution also includes a scriptable solution (and SL1 has many) the resolution step can be performed and tracked, therefore reducing MTTR. ScienceLogic RBAs offer a powerful solution by identifying critical events, streamlining processes, and enhancing operational control. With the ability to align automation policies with critical events, organizations can adapt to evolving challenges with agility and confidence. To learn about how to build effective RBAs to maximize your operational efficiency with SL1, attend our upcoming PowerHour session on April 24, 2024. I’ll walk you through how to align automation policies with critical events and how to create automations that help reduce repetitive tasks. If you have automation questions leading up to the event, let me know. Post them below!85Views5likes0Comments
