The Key To Useful Application Performance Monitoring -- Service First
from the everything-as-a-service dept
In my experience, the keystone to deploying useful application performance monitoring is to first define and build a hierarchical model of the target application as a service. We have long left a world of stand alone servers and atomic applications, and good performance monitoring solutions should be designed from the ground up to account for each technology involved in the application's delivery.
Naturally the scope of data and events involved in monitoring a modern application's performance as a service can quickly become unwieldy, with information being collated and (hopefully) aggregated from a large number of distinct technologies. To further add to the complexity, the software systems used to target and extract data will also vary from technology to technology. While one might choose to license a single vendor's "monolithic framework" instead of programming solutions internally, the vendor's code to gather data from a router will be distinct from the code used to gather storage information, and so on. Contrary to what marketing claims may be made, there is no "magic button" in any monitoring product that will sort out the relevance of data coming from a subsystem as it relates to an application as it is implemented in the environment.
Defining a common named hierarchy of the application's involved technology upfront enables engineers to systematically "tag" relevant data and events coming from a multitude of sources and correlate them to the appropriate application service (or in some cases... multiple applications). Correlation is the key to all-inclusive monitoring, as information without context is useless.
If the company has not already started using named hierarchies elsewhere in monitoring, it might be a good ideas to develop a basic hierarchical naming standard in the open and let other parties who will (or should) be using the standard provide input to the project. Once an environment starts successfully treating and monitoring one application as a service, there will be a drive from all application owners to do the same for them.

Even with the on-going stream of opposition, this is still not a "story" to be followed by the mass media, and therefore is unknown to a great portion of the population. For them, and for congress, having most of the country be aware of what's actually in this bill is "bad for business". As are civil protections.
Re: Re: It's not incompetence
I agree, to me these (in)actions come off as being palpably more indignant than malicious.
Can someone make a criminal complaint and have it fixed so they are tried as adults?

That's funny, while the politicians like to spout "whatever", the data shows entertainment exports "ain't shit".
You want to be in industrial and capital goods, son.

If by "re-level the playing field" you mean trying to return to the days when talented independent artists had no avenue or palpable hope for making a sustainable income on their own, then you're probably on the right track. It will never happen, but I'll bet that's the objective, yes.
This is just another case of pissing down our backs and calling it rain. Or in this case, "transparency".

So... do they want to copyright entire languages or just trademark the "used by the U.S. government and NASA bit".
My personal guess is their sales are being challenged by an upstart.

Inconsistent and discriminatory sure, but making sure only your buddies with big bags get favorable determinations is anything but capricious. Highly predictable.

What you're describing is not an economy for "creators". As you say, IP regulation creates an environment for "investors".
Come right out and say it: there are too many hands in pot in our anyone-as-a-publisher world, and old-money interests have had enough.
We need more 2008's, says the BLS regarding the top %1 earners in the nation in that time period. Please continue to regulate for the investor.
Re:
Which leads me to remind you there are a lot of normal working people out there right now with smaller budgets and larger bills. My guess is over half of the country is literally doing more with less than they did 3 years ago.
Keep the disposition of consumers, and the ongoing money grabs by the "entitled" few, in mind when lamenting the drop in ticket prices and other market indications in 'elective' markets such as entertainment.
There has always been a, relatively small, demographic that refuses to pay for anything. Deadbeats in this era, their numbers may be increasing some due to the ease of "infringement", make a larger impression today owing to the fact that they can easily grab entire catalogs of work in a short time. Even still there is a big difference between a drop in sales, and a void of sales.
Also, in my experience the people least willing to pay for anything have in general been the most wealthy. Keep this in mind when 'assessments' of the situation come from fabulously wealthy executives. We always see what we see inside ourselves.
I see a brilliant year of opportunity coming for us all.

Please cite reference for 99% deadbeat rate. Don't forget Mike is probably talking about people involved in the experiments from all backgrounds, not just the top 1% earners in the U.S.
It's much easier to buy at the store when there is no way to buy online.
I suggest you read the last issue of SI. ESPN and MLB sort of "get it". You don't seem to at all.

The net result (no pun intended), is government employees will have very slow or disconnect prone Internet access. Personally I like the idea of keeping government off the Internet, but I'm not sure that is their intent...
Sure they can block all sites known to have posted Wikileaks data in the past, like the NY Times and the Washington Post. But this does nothing to prevent access to the content from new sources which are popping up everywhere.

A little premature and without jurisdiction, sure, but Operation In our Sites is just a sneak peek of the upcoming drama and sitcom season on CSPAN.
