Intro to HTTP
HTTP is a protocol which allows the fetching of resources, such as HTML documents. It is the foundation of any data exchange on the Web and it is a client-server protocol, which means requests are initiated by the recipient, usually the Web browser. A complete document is reconstructed from the different sub-documents fetched, for instance text, layout description, images, videos, scripts, and more.
Clients and servers communicate by exchanging individual messages (as opposed to a stream of data). The messages sent by the client, usually a Web browser, are called requests and the messages sent by the server as an answer are called responses.
HTTP Components
HTTP is a client-server protocol: requests are sent by one entity, the user-agent (or a proxy on behalf of it). Most of the time the user-agent is a Web browser, but it can be anything, for example a robot that crawls the Web to populate and maintain a search engine index.
Each individual request is sent to a server, which handles it and provides an answer, called the response. Between the client and the server there are numerous entities, collectively called proxies, which perform different operations and act as gateways or caches, for example.
In reality, there are more computers between a browser and the server handling the request: there are routers, modems, and more. Thanks to the layered design of the Web, these are hidden in the network and transport layers. HTTP is on top, at the application layer. Although important to diagnose network problems, the underlying layers are mostly irrelevant to the description of HTTP.
HTTP Basics
HTTP is simple
HTTP is generally designed to be simple and human readable, even with the added complexity introduced in HTTP/2 by encapsulating HTTP messages into frames. HTTP messages can be read and understood by humans, providing easier testing for developers, and reduced complexity for newcomers.
HTTP is extensible
Introduced in HTTP/1.0, HTTP headers make this protocol easy to extend and experiment with. New functionality can even be introduced by a simple agreement between a client and a server about a new header's semantics.
HTTP is stateless, but not sessionless
HTTP is stateless: there is no link between two requests being successively carried out on the same connection. This immediately has the prospect of being problematic for users attempting to interact with certain pages coherently, for example, using e-commerce shopping baskets. But while the core of HTTP itself is stateless, HTTP cookies allow the use of stateful sessions. Using header extensibility, HTTP Cookies are added to the workflow, allowing session creation on each HTTP request to share the same context, or the same state.
HTTP and connections
A connection is controlled at the transport layer, and therefore fundamentally out of scope for HTTP. Though HTTP doesn't require the underlying transport protocol to be connection-based; only requiring it to be reliable, or not lose messages (so at minimum presenting an error). Among the two most common transport protocols on the Internet, TCP is reliable and UDP isn't. HTTP therefore relies on the TCP standard, which is connection-based.
Before a client and server can exchange an HTTP request/response pair, they must establish a TCP connection, a process which requires several round-trips. The default behavior of HTTP/1.0 is to open a separate TCP connection for each HTTP request/response pair. This is less efficient than sharing a single TCP connection when multiple requests are sent in close succession.
In order to mitigate this flaw, HTTP/1.1 introduced pipelining (which proved difficult to implement) and persistent connections: the underlying TCP connection can be partially controlled using the Connection header. HTTP/2 went a step further by multiplexing messages over a single connection, helping keep the connection warm and more efficient.
Experiments are in progress to design a better transport protocol more suited to HTTP. For example, Google is experimenting with QUIC which builds on UDP to provide a more reliable and efficient transport protocol.
HTTP Flow
When a client wants to communicate with a server, either the final server or an intermediate proxy, it performs the following steps:
- 1. Open a TCP connection: The TCP connection is used to send a request, or several, and receive an answer. The client may open a new connection, reuse an existing connection, or open several TCP connections to the servers.
- 2. Send an HTTP message: HTTP messages (before HTTP/2) are human-readable. With HTTP/2, these simple messages are encapsulated in frames, making them impossible to read directly, but the principle remains the same. For example:
- 3. Read the response sent by the server, such as:
- 4. Close or reuse the connection for further requests.
- 5. Success!
GET / HTTP/1.1

Content-Length: 29769
Content-Type: text/html
!DOCTYPE html... (here comes the 29769 bytes of the requested web page)
If HTTP pipelining is activated, several requests can be sent without waiting for the first response to be fully received. HTTP pipelining has proven difficult to implement in existing networks, where old pieces of software coexist with modern versions. HTTP pipelining has been superseded in HTTP/2 with more robust multiplexing requests within a frame.
HTTP Cookies
An HTTP cookie (web cookie, browser cookie) is a small piece of data that a server sends to the user's web browser. The browser may store it and send it back with the next request to the same server. Typically, it's used to tell if two requests came from the same browser — keeping a user logged-in, for example. It remembers stateful information for the stateless HTTP protocol
Cookies are mainly used for three purposes:
Session Management
Logins, shopping carts, game scores, or anything else the server should remember
Personalization
User preferences, themes, and other settings
Tracking
Recording and analyzing user behavior
Cookies were once used for general client-side storage. While this was legitimate when they were the only way to store data on the client, it is recommended nowadays to prefer modern storage APIs. Cookies are sent with every request, so they can worsen performance (especially for mobile data connections). Modern APIs for client storage are the Web storage API (localStorage and sessionStorage) and IndexedDB.
Creating Cookies
When receiving an HTTP request, a server can send a Set-Cookie header with the response. The cookie is usually stored by the browser, and then the cookie is sent with requests made to the same server inside a Cookie HTTP header. An expiration date or duration can be specified, after which the cookie is no longer sent. Additionally, restrictions to a specific domain and path can be set, limiting where the cookie is sent.
The Set-Cookie HTTP response header sends cookies from the server to the user agent. A simple cookie is set like this:
Set-cookie: <cookie-name>=<cookie-value>
This header from the server tells the client to store a cookie.
HTTP/2.0 200 OK
Content-type: text/html
Set-Cookie: yummy_cookie=choco
Set-Cookie: tasty_cookie=strawberry
[page content]
Now, with every new request to the server, the browser will send back all previously stored cookies to the server using the Cookie header.
GET /sample_page.html HTTP/2.0
Host: www.example.org
Cookie: yummy_cookie=choco; tasty_cookie=strawberry
Session Cookies
The cookie created above is a session cookie: it is deleted when the client shuts down, because it didn't specify an Expires or Max-Age directive. However, web browsers may use session restoring, which makes most session cookies permanent, as if the browser was never closed.
Permanent Cookies
Instead of expiring when the client closes, permanent cookies expire at a specific date (Expires) or after a specific length of time (Max-Age).
Set-Cookie: id=a3fWa; Expires=Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:28:00 GMT;
Secure and HttpOnly cookies
A secure cookie is only sent to the server with an encrypted request over the HTTPS protocol. Even with Secure, sensitive information should never be stored in cookies, as they are inherently insecure and this flag can't offer real protection. Starting with Chrome 52 and Firefox 52, insecure sites (http:) can't set cookies with the Secure directive.
To help mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, HttpOnly cookies are inaccessible to JavaScript's Document.cookie API; they are only sent to the server. For example, cookies that persist server-side sessions don't need to be available to JavaScript, and the HttpOnly flag should be set.
Set-Cookie: id=a3fWa; Expires=Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:28:00 GMT; Secure; HttpOnly

Design Principles
Mobile First: allows people to complete a task when they want, where they want, how they want; surfacing the most important actions, tasks, and information first. It also can mean an adaptive experience based on the persona an task at-hand. It’s important to remember that ‘mobile first’ as a design principle doesn’t automatically mean responsive, but in most cases for web applications a responsive approach is recommended.
Personalized: allows people to configure and personalize the experience in relevant way, intuitive to them. They are given a house and the means to furnish it as they like rather than a ‘furnished apartment’ they were handed without any say or opportunity to make it their own.
Flexible: allow people to work within the system they way they want. Allow for frequent and infrequent task completion paths; linear and nonlinear ways of working.
Predictive & Automated: as people spend more time in the system, the system should respond by surfacing frequent tasks, workspaces and information most used without explicit ask or action. As many tasks should be automated as reasonably possible to make people’s working lives easier.
 Period. If a flow isn’t allowing for this criteria, the flow needs re-designing.
Fun: “Wow that was easy.” “I may not like the task but I love this interface”
Above All, User-Centric: follow user-centered design processes. Demand design principles are in place as part of any MVP criteria.

Tone & Voice
Guiding Principles for Tone and Voice
- Mobile first
- Consider 3Cs (context): user context (likes/hates/habits/state-of-mind, device posture), environmental context (time, day, location, place), world context (what is happening around the user we can leverage or use to inform the UI)
Overall Tone and Voice
- Friendly
- Concise
- NO PASSIVE VOICE. Only active voice.
- Present tense
- Avoid redundant words; redundant to themselves and to the context.
- Avoid including information the user doesn't need to know or care about
- Lead with the most important information and focus on the user's task
- Use contractions
- Don't 'second guess' the user's intentions. Only ask for confirmation of action if action will cause root-level or irretrievable changes.

Punctuation & Capitalization
- Do not use a period for single sentences
- Use periods for messaging with multiple sentences, or when the sentence has other punctuation. Like this one.
- Use initial caps
- Capitalize proper nouns only. Do not capitalize random words in a sentence. It IS difficult to Read.
- Use an ellipsis... to indicate lag or that an additional action will be required after making the selection.
| Don't | Do |
|---|---|
| Spell out numbers i.e. five, ten, fourty-two |
Use numeric characters i.e. 5, 10, 42 |
| Use lower cases for labels i.e. save |
Use initial caps for labels i.e. Save |
| Spell out words with common abbreviations i.e. application |
Use common abbreviations i.e. app |
| Use words like 'please' or 'sorry' i.e. "Sorry, that file cannot be deleted." i.e. "Please contact your administrator if you forgot your password" |
Be concise and friendly. Stick to the important content and lead based on the task. i.e. "File can't be deleted." i.e. "Forgot your password? Contact your admin." |
Messaging; Errors & Notifications
- For confirmation/success messages, use the action as the key word i.e. 'saved,' 'added,' 'sent,' etc. If not direct action is available, use 'successful' as the key word.
- For errors, use 'unsuccessful' as the key word.
- For errors that allow specific direction for correction, end the message at that specific direction. For errors where the reason and/or correction steps cannot be specified, it is appropriate to add "Try Again." to the message so as not to leave the user at a dead end.
- Keep messaging as generic as possible to allow for product branding/labeling name changes in the future.

"Who are you?"
I'm a developer from Toronto, and that's pretty much all the information I'm willing to give out to anybody that just stumbled into this website. The only reason this "who are you?" section exists is because you need a decent amount of text for good webdesign. (I didn't study webdesign.. but I browsed behance for an hour, so good enough, right?) This is just placeholder text, so I might rewrite this with something better someday maybe.

Cacti - T. pachanoi
18 inches of Trichocereus Pachanoi was prepared by despining, separating and discarding the white core from the green outer layer, blenderizing the green portions to a mucilaginous foamy goop, simmering this plant material in lime juice on low heat for two hours, filtering the resultant tea from the plant material, on another burner reducing this filtered tea, repeating the last 3 steps 3 times, discarding the plant residue, and finally continuing the reduction of the tea until about 2 cupfuls of medium brown liquid were left--Yum!
At 7:30 PM, my partner and I each drank one cup. While the taste was anything but pleasant, the extraordinary and gut-wrenching bitterness I usually associate with cactus seemed largely obviated by the acidity of the remaining lime juice. We were able to hold our noses and drink the concoction in just a few large and thankfully gagless gulps.
By 10:30 PM or so, the first inkings of consciousness alteration started to disrupt our saturday evening routine of dinner and rented movie. We had, by then, almost written off the cactus as yet another psychedelic no-show. Yet there it was: an almost imperceptible disorientation started to creep up on us like the wisps of an unnamable otherness, announcing the beginning of... something.
Around 11:30 PM, the background buzzing that seemed to have been provoking a mild of physical and psychological queasiness started accelerating and intensifying, pushing aside my discomfort, giving rise to a pleasant sensation I can only describe as 'being amped'. My partner, at this point, started feeling nauseous and antsy. I excused myself momentarily to check the mailbox, and in the process of walking to the end of the driveway, experienced the most delicious sensation of moving, of extending my limbs and contracting my muscles like a jungle cat hunting for prey--or just my mail. All senses felt primed, the air fresh on my face. I felt great.
Back inside, my partner seemed to be feeling better. We decided to take a walk.
Throughout the rest of the evening, he would continue to get only weak psychedelic effects, while I plateaued for about 4 hours with that delicious physical intensity. My mind was clear throughout, and thoughts laser-like. While there were no overwhelming visual phenomena, the world seemed to exhibit a distinct sparkle and sheen--as if each object of perception shimmered with its own uniqueness.
At 3:00am, unable to sleep, I turned on the television and was immediately bombarded by the war-on-terror-paranoia/propaganda of CNN. This, in turn, pushed me into dark musings about the state of the world, the manipulative power-hungry tactics of the current US administration, etc. While able to ponder global issues with some insight, I quickly ran out of material: world politics appeared so obviously dominated by pathetically shallow 'hungry ghosts', the grasping hands of empty souls--'pigs at the trough'.
These musing thankfully ran their course, at which point I tried to shift moods by focusing on the buzzing energy that still permeated my body. It worked: I suddenly perceived subtle flows, channels, and meridians crisscrossing my chest like fine filaments. Following the surging and gently pulsing currents up to my face, to my scalp, and then, amazingly, out of my head, I felt like my consciousness was somehow touching a star that lay suspended at an undefined distance from me. It was almost as if I were pulling from it, back into my resting body, some blue or violet essence. The sensation was absolutely clear. My body immediately relaxed, and I promptly dropped off from the cosmic into a mundanely deep and dreamless sleep.
The next morning, my partner reported feeling very tired, but seemed to recover after a few afternoon naps. I felt great throughout the day. Analyzing the differences in our experiences, it occurred to us that he may have needed more cactus to fully lift off from the weak effect that characterized his trip throughout the evening. He was, at that point, a cactus-virgin, while I was not. Perhaps my familiarity allowed me to flow with, and possibly amplify, an experience which a first-timer might unconsciously resist.

Thirteen-year-old Devin Langford walked 14 miles from the site of the murders to get help, after hiding injured siblings, he and his father David told Martha MacCallum on Monday.
"I was just thinking of my mom and my siblings," he said, telling "The Story" he carried two siblings a short distance but had to stop.
"We walked probably a couple yards -- probably 20 yards -- and then we got them behind a tree right there and they were really wounded so I started walking."
His father told MacCallum he was in Arizona at the time of the massacre, calling the incident an "act of terrorism."
"To me, this was an act of terrorism against our community," he said.
"We're a small community but we're a quiet community that's been safe -- we've been there for over 60 years."
Last week, at least six children and three women living in that faith-based community of U.S. citizens in Mexico were shot to death in the northern part of the country.
Alfonso Durazo, Mexico's top security official, confirmed the six deaths, adding that six more children were wounded in the attack, with five transferred to hospitals in Phoenix, Ariz.
On "The Story," David Langford said members of his community have never had run-ins with law enforcement or the cartels.

He added many members of his community near Bavispe have returned to the United States permanently, out of fear.
"Most of them left with no intention of returning," he said.
"There were a lot of heroes that night that risked their lives... to rescue my children," he continued, adding Devin is one of those heroes.

The web is is made of many different components, first of which is us, the user. We type in commands on our computer which get sent over the internet from our web browsers to servers using HTTP. The servers interperet the commands and respond accordingly.
HTML is the basis for everything on the web and stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML constist of:
Text Content - Everything you see
Markup - What it looks like
References - to other documents like images and videos
Links to other pages - Links are referred to as URLs. Clicking on links, moving deeper into web content is why its called the Web.
HTML Markup is what the content looks like. Markup consist of Tags and Attributes
defined within an Element.
An Element contains of an opening tag, a closing tag, and content inbetween the two tags.
If a tag has only an opening tag, but no closing tag, it is called a Void Tag.
Attributes are also part of an element, so also contained inside a tag. Attributes will point to a value.
Here is an example of an attribute:
< a href = "web address" > content link < /a>, where HREF is the attribute and the web address is the value
Inline Elements will exist on one line and next line without spacing, like this example:
This is an inline element
This is also an inline element
Block Elements have a defined space around them that can be made larger or smaller. Here is an example:
This is a block element
This is also a block element
HTML - The overall structure of a web page, much like the walls of a room
CSS - How the page is styled - much like the decoration on the wall or the color it is painted.
Javascript - Changing an element of a web page, much like flipping a light switch or using a remote control.
The web browser builds a tree-like structure of the web page. This is referred to as the DOM or Document Object Model.
The browser turns HTML tags into elements that form a Tree.
HTML elements in the structure have an opening tag & a closing tag.
The information contained between the tags can be Text, Span, Div, Img, Src, etc.
Each browser has its own set of Development Tools which shows the structure and style of the web page.
Elements displayed in the development tools are not the actual code, but the structure of the web page as the browser interprets it.
HTML and CSS are both "languages".
HTML Language controls the structure of the page and applies specific syntax & rules to the page. The basic word of the HTML Language is a "tag". Tags make up elements.
CSS Language controls the style of the page. CSS uses specific syntax & rules to determine how the HTML elements will appear on the page.
CSS or Cascading Style Sheets, define how HTML elements are to be displayed in the browser. CSS attributes can be applied directly into the HTML or from an outside .css file. Using a .css file is the preferred way by developers so the HTML and CSS files can be separate and easier to work with.
The main function of using CSS is the ability to change the style of HTML documents in one place. By assigning classes to HTML elements, one can simply change the style of an entire class with one change to the .css class file. The main two reasons this is important is that it:
1. Avoids Repetition - The developer does not need to style individual elements or lines of code taking more time.
2. Avoids Mistakes - By making one change instead of several changes, the developer can avoid the potential for costly errors.

Contributing to the SQLClue Data Center Runbook
This page demonstrates how to add and maintain knowledge resources and information in the SQLClue
Data Center Runbook.
A usable first Runbook Topic: "Using the SQLClue Runbook" is created during the example.
Files that are included in the SQLClue installation and files that can be
obtained from the SQLClue web site are used for this exercise. This hands-on exercize
demonstrates the use of the Runbook for a user with the authority to create and own topics and documents: Contributors and Admins
in the SQLClue security role hierarchy. In addition, upon completion of the exercize a valid
Data Center Runbook topic is initialized. The topic created is useful as a starting
entry in the Data Center Runbook for any local environment. Bear in mind that no SQLClue Runbook topic is ever complete.
The data center systems the Runbook supports will continuously change. The
Runbook must be updated as change occurs.
Install the Data Center Runbook
To begin this walkthrough install the SQLClue Administrator's Console, install
the SQL Configuration Archive from the "Tools" menu of the SQLClue
Administrator's Console. Next install the Data Center Runbook component also
found under the "Tools" menu. Navigate to the Runbook tab of the SQLClue Console.
Data Center Runbook User Interface Layout
The Runbook tab is divided into two an upper section and a lower section. The upper section contains a
Topic List data grid. The data grid is populated by a default query each time the
SQLClue Administrator's Console is launched. The default query is suitable for
most Data Center Runbook usage. The search query can also be modified as
desired. A Topic is opened by selecting the topic from the upper region. The lower section shows
all details for a Topic once selected. Alternately, a Topic may be selected from the Topic
Combo Box drop down list at the beginning of the lower section, even if the
topic is not loaded in the upper regions data grid. All topics in the Runbook
are available in the drop down list.
Tip: The splitter between the upper Topic list and the Topic details section
below can be
repositioned to improve the user view of the displayed data as desired.
Create a Runbook Topic
- Select any cell column of the first blank row in the upper section's Topic List data grid.
- Enter the text "Using the SQLClue Runbook" in the Topic Name input dialog that opens.
- Select [Ok] in the Topic Name input dialog.
- As the dialog closes the data grid row is populated with the Name and default
values for other row values.
- Quick Add of a Runbook Topic Note
- Select the Notes column cell adjacent and to the right of the Topic Name column
cell in the Topic List data grid.
- Enter the following text in the "Add a Note" (lower) field of the Notes input dialog
that opens when the Notes cell is selected.
Topic created while working through the How-to "Contribute to the Runbook" help document.
- Select [Ok] in the Notes input dialog.
- Preview the note just added by hovering the mouse over the Notes cell in the Topic List data grid. The preview feature is handy but is limited to showing only the first few hundred characters of the Notes column.
To view the complete note the Notes cell must be selected to relaunch the notes
dialog.
- Editing Notes for a Selected Runbook Topic
- Select the Topic Name cell column containing the text "Using the SQLClue Runbook" from the Topic List
data grid.
- The Topic is loaded into the lower section for editing and the Name will appear
in the Topic Name input box.
- Select the Notes Button that is adjacent and to the right of the Topic Name
input box in the lower panel.
- The same Notes dialog is opened as when accessing the Topic's Notes in the Topic
List of the
upper panel.
- The Note entered above now appears in the upper text panel of the Notes dialog.
The lower region is reserved for new notes entries.
- Enter the following text on separate lines as shown in the "Add a Note"
(lower) field of the Notes dialog.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>phone 01-307-761-1605
all product support and licensing information
- Move the splitter between the previous notes (top) panel and the new note (bottom) to reveal all entered text.
Alternately resize the Notes dialog or zoom from the context menu to customize the view of either notes panel.
Scroll bars are also available if the text in either field overflows the visible area.
- It is possible to open the previously entered notes for edit. This option is provided for administrator
convenience only so that direct ad hoc query updates are never required. Editing previous notes is not recommended because the audit trail is bypassed when this method is used. Best
practice is to always add notes to the bottom panel of the Notes dialog.
- Select [Ok] in the Notes dialog.
- Hover over the Notes cell of the Topic List (upper panel) to verify the information just added.
Tip: The upper panel of the notes dialog is normally in read-only mode. To edited text in this panel select the "edit
previous notes" link in the upper right corner of the dialog. Editing previous notes should be used only rarely if at all.
The historical audit trail is broken when changes are made to the previous notes. The feature is provided only as an alternative
to ad-hoc updates to the notes by directly updating the database.
- Selecting a Category for a Runbook Topic
- Select "Contact" In the Category List at the bottom left of the lower section.
- There is no need to hold the [CTRL] key when selecting multiple Categories for a
Topic. However, it is OK to do so since the [CTRL] key has no effect on the
category selection process. When categories are selected or de-selected the background color of the Category panel changes to indicate that that there
is data that must be saved.
- Select [Save] in the lower panel of the Dialog.
- Each change does not need to be saved individually. Documents can be added.
Categories selected or de-selected and the Topic name can be modified. The
changes can all be committed to the database as a single save operation at any
time the Save button is selected - and also any time a Note is added the topic
will be save.
Tip: The Category list can be displayed as a scrolling one column list or as multi-column list that can be
displayed in its entirety on the screen. Under "SQLClue Runbook" in the "Tools" menu, select the "Multicolumn
Category List" option to toggle the display between the two views at any time.
- Select the Notes button again. Notice that the system has added a note to indicate that the Contact Category was
associated with the Topic.
In general it is handy to add the Category at the same time as the content is
added that belongs to the category because the notes can later be reviewed to
see the relationship, however this is not required. SQLClue Runbook Categories
are primarily a search aid and the search results will not be affected whether
or not the category and content are entered at the same time. The practice
merely helps to understand the sequence and evolution of the Topic.
- Select "Best Practice" in the Category List the selection since the note just
entered is a "Best Practice".
- Enter the following text.
1. Always update the topic with all changes from the application defaults.
2. Include a comment to explain why the change was made and any specialized information about
the reasons for the change and how to properly effect the change.
3. Keep notes brief.
4. Place lengthy comments and diagrams in a document and add the document rather than adding a note.
5. Assign categories immediately after each note as an aid to users that may later search or browse the topic.
- Select [Ok] in the Notes input dialog. The Note and the Category selection are
added to the Topic.
- Select the "Security" Category in preparation for adding the next note.
- Open the Notes input dialog again and enter the following, replacing 'enter service account name' with
the name of the SQLClue Automation Controller service account used when the
service was configured.
Authorize domain users and groups to access the Runbook by adding them to the SQLRunbookUserRole
or SQLRunbookContributorRole database roles. The SQLClue Automation Controller Service account must
have read access to file system folder before document file(s) can be managed by the SQLClue Runbook
the service account name is 'enter service account name'.
- If the SQLClue Automation Controller service is not yet been installed, add a reminder note. Select "MemoToSelf" in the Category List
and enter the note:
Service not installed at this time. Add the service account to the Topic when the service is installed.
Other users will need to know this service account name when they add documents to the SQLClue Runbook.
There is no need for each Runbook Contributor to have to search out and interrupt the person that knows
this bit of information when it is needed. Saving such information in these notes provides easy
visibility of necessary information to the appropriate people.
Tip: The "MemoToSelf" Category is a time saver used to identify
work that needs to be done and early stage work in progress. Including memos as
they come to mind is a good way to call out work that needs to be done.
Categorizing the topic as one with such outstanding work requirements helps to
find the work items in the future. It also helps others to identify
documentation areas that need attention. In most cases the reason documentation
is incomplete or not available is because the topic described by the
documentation needs attention. Once the work captured as a memo is completed or
assigned to a more precise category, the "MemoToSelf" category can be removed
from the topic. "MemoToSelf" should only be a temporarily assigned category.
- Add this note:
Add the appropriate domain users and groups to the
SQLRunbookUserRole and SQLRunbook ContributorRole database roles.
- Return later to the topic and record any additional determination of how role membership has been determined and
perhaps to list the members added to each role. Most shops will have already existing methods to capture the role
membership enumeration changes. The SQLClue Configuration Archive is an
excellent way to capture such changes. Including redundant information in the Runbook
is not recommended. Simply state where the information can be found. Searches
using the "MemoToSelf" category will quickly find the unfinished work. Removing the "MemoToSelf"
category when outstanding tasks are completed will then remove the Topic from
subsequent searches based on criteria that include the "MemoToSelf" category.
Tip:: While a Note is not necessary when a document is added, when a series of
documents will be added use of a note helps to make it clear which documents are
being added at a particular time.
This document demonstrates a method that can be used to quickly bring all available documentation into the SQLClue
Runbook very quickly.
If the current owners of existing system documentation use this method to add and classify all
documents then access to the information is quickly established for a wider, yet still appropriate audience. Furthermore,
the prospects for others to be able to find the relevant information should any individual leave the organization or
assume new duties or be home asleep in the middle of night are greatly increased. The silly jostle to get a "short
timer" - one who will soon leave their current position - to spend the last few days of an assignment producing low quality
documentation is completely avoided to the benefit of all.
If the permissions are established according to these recommendations,
the SQLClue Administrator can easily reassign the documents to any individual at any time necessary. The documents can be updated
when convenient and necessary yet will always be automatically maintained in the SQLClue Runbook central system information library.

Two players take turns repeatedly rolling a single dice. If a player rolls a 1, they score nothing for their turn and it becomes the other player's turn. If any other number is rolled, the number is added to the player's current turn total, and their turn continues. If a player chooses to 'hold', they add their turn total to their final score. However, if a player rolls two 6's in a row, they score nothing for their turn, their final score becomes 0, and turn passes to the other player. The first player to reach the target score wins.
Similar to the single-dice version, two players take turns rolling two dice during each turn. If any one of the two dice is a 1, then turn passes to the other player. For any other combination, both dice's numbers are added to their turn total. There is also no consecutive 6's rule. The first player to reach the target score wins.

Fri Sep 25, 2015
As I alluded to in my last post, the very definition of a “flagship” has perceptively shifted this past year.
Firstly, mid-range devices with high-end specs and razor-thin profit margins have exploded out of China.
Secondly, the definition of a flagship has skewed heavily toward big phones (formerly known as phablets, but now the norm). Bigger phones tend to get better battery life and are able to fit in better camera components, such as Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). But, I most certainly do not want a big phone. For me, the sweet spot is in the 4.5 to 5-inch screen size range. For this reason, I’m excluding phones like the Note 5 and iPhone 6S Plus from my overview of the year’s best.
However, when all is said and done, a flagship choice always comes down to that most ancient and hotly disputed divide - Android or iPhone?
Apple’s latest entry in the flagship wars, the iPhone 6S, comes as no surprise. Dependably meticulous manufacturing. A two-year design cycle. And so many leaks before the official announcement that the only real surprise this year was a unique take on the “selfie flash” where the whole front screen lights up. Let’s not forget the predictably glowing reviews as well. For the upper middle-class of the developed world, the iPhone is the only choice there is. It is, for better or worse, America’s phone.
Despite Apple not playing the spec game, let’s take a look anyway for the sake of consistency:
Operating system: iOS 9
Display: 4.7-inch 1334 x 750 pixel IPS LCD display, 326 ppi pixel density
Processor: 1.85 Ghz 64-bit A9 SoC with M9 motion co-processor
Memory: 2GB RAM / 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage
Rear camera: 12MP rear iSight camera, F2.2 lens, True Tone flash
Front-facing camera: 5MP front-facing FaceTime camera, Retina flash
Battery: 1715 mAh non-removable Li-ion battery
Size: 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1mm
Weight: 143 grams
Objectively speaking, the advantages of the iPhone are obvious. End-to-end control allows Apple to pursue a deep integration of hardware and software. This control has allowed intriguing new features, such as “3D Touch” where the screen measures different levels of pressure to activate “right-click” types of UI popups. This control allows Apple to get away with fairly middling specs, where Android phones are overcompensating with killer specs to cover a lack of optimization. This control is also what makes the iPhone camera usually so much better than the competition. I say “usually” because this year, the other guys, especially Samsung, have seriously stepped up their game.
But I do suspect that the Android implementation is only as good as its skin. In other words, the camera is great as long as you stay locked onto TouchWiz or Sense. We all know that manufacturer Android updates are agonizingly slow and in some cases, only supported for a year or two.  I know this from bitter experience.
The disadvantages of such tight control is that it can be stifling. There is a liberating feel to Android. The possibilities are endless when it comes to true customization, both on the front end and back end. Most Android phone manufacturers also aren’t afraid to explore the bleeding edge of hardware development. After all, they just leave the bulk of software development to Google, so hardly need to expend resources on it at all. Instead we get things like NFC (Android first) and 4K screens (Android first). Apple waits a while before coming up with a carefully considered rebuttal. But they are never first.
So I haven’t actually said much about the new iPhones, mostly because I don’t have to. The reviews are in - they’re great. No surprises there.
I’m not sure if there will be any more flagships this year, so this most likely concludes my survey of the year’s best. The new Nexus phones are being announced next week, so I’ll definitely be checking those out. But, I’m not holding my breath for anything in the flagship class. I’ve got some thinking to do, because it’s finally time to make a choice.

Design
Levels consist of 5 different types:
Novice
Easy
Intermediate
Hard
Expert
Design
Icons are all developed using pexels, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
In the website we've used 3 different type of images, Low Quality, Medium Quality and High Quality.
I've compressed the images and the files so the website loading time could be under 2 seconds and download to be under 2 megabytes.
Research
While doing some Google analytics research, I've found out that users mostly use the app around 3-5 minutes.
Which this issue led me to use HotJar to check the users heatmap, and the funnel of why the users are not using the app.
Research
I've started to do some research about the competitors, we came up with a Low-Fi sketch.
Tried to solve the problem of ordering both Accommodation & Transport at the same time.
With this wireframe I concluded that two inputs would be used from Accommodation & Transport, and the other two for dates before/after.
Sometimes the users click accidentally, so we've added a button called "Search" to activate the search results.
Research
The UML Diagram is pretty straight forward, which shows the user how would use it.
The key element for the user was the search, find and funnel the path to the pay options.
For best user experience, we've used this UML Diagram to show the potential of simplifying the website into a better user experience website.
Research
As part of the heatmap the analytics improved:
We've fixed some issues with the sidebar opening late, while the heatmap gave as a hint of which part of the app is not working properly.
Research
We've made the game responsive, for all devices.
I've tried to make a few exceptions of what to show when the user is on mobile version, so I've decided to check first how many % of the users are playing the game from their phone.
From the research it came out that 42.9% of the users use phones, and we've focused into improving the mobile phone user experience..
DESIGN
Another issue was the timezone of New Zealand and the other states.
When I've had to post a new level on Facebook, I've made sure I came back to this page and check the best users time when it's the most appropriate for them.
Research3
Another issue we've countered with Google Adsense was that the first days when the App was launched, people were using Ad-block, so the revenue went really slow.
We've wanted to remove the, but we've left it for testing purposes.

The Ferguson Report: For Trump, a mutter of medical urgency
by Tim FergusonROBO-DEBT TORMENTED TO DEATH FOR NO REASON
The federal government has killed the robo-debt scheme just when it was helping welfare make a profit.

“Welfare recipients were fined and dandy. But our mistake was using the Algorithm Method.”
TRUMP HEART ATTACK MAY BE RUSSIAN HOAX
US President Donald Trump interrupted his own interruption of the fake media to declare he did not have a heart attack last week.
A White House spokeswoman dressed in a nurse’s uniform said, “Our panicked scramble to get POTUS to the hospital was a normal, everyday panicked scramble. Like when POTUS races us to the donut tray.”
“Normally, Trump’s denials are confirmations,” said a Republican who agrees with everything the president says, before and after they have been exposed as fibs.
“When the President denied he had a heart attack, I almost had a heart attack.”
Donald Trump’s barely legal lawyer Rudy Giuliani insisted the President will be around for many years.
Markets tumbled.
REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COAL
Scott Morrison has slammed claims his climate change policies have contributed to anything at all, ever. Sweating and coughing in the smoky swelter, the PM said our share of global warming is so insignificant it could represent Australia at the G20.
A government spokeswoman hiding in an icebox said, “Australia is responsible for just 1.3 per cent of global emissions, mostly from Extinction Rebellion recharging their iPhones.”
A member of the National party pulled his pants on and said, “Greenies accused us of being arsonists, but we’re not arson about. If we add the coal we sell to anybody with a chimney stack, we’re responsible for about 5 per cent of global emissions.”
A National Party minister wiping his desk said, “5 per cent is nothing! It’s not even a 20th of global emissions.”
ISRAEL FOLOU THE LEADER
Sacked Australian rugby union player Israel Folau has claimed recent bushfires are God’s vengeance for same-sex marriage. It’s a mystery why God waited two years to act on gay marriage, and why the fires completely avoided the inner-cities.
The footballer’s sacking was not God’s vengeance for Folau having a tattoo [Leviticus 19:28]. And it has nothing to do with that lobster you had for Christmas lunch [Leviticus 11:9-12]. But just in case, avoid outdoors.
A farmer said, “Why can’t the vengeance be forty days of rain like the old days?”

So the White Sox are headed to the North Side for the weekend's Crosstown Series. The Cubs come limping into Wrigley after getting swept for the first time this year....by the Tampa Rays. That just doesn't sound right.
So maybe Lou will be looking to fire the team up. Maybe a guy in cubbie blue will step up and motivate his team by knocking someone around a little. I'm not an advocate of violence, but Michael Barrett's punch to AJ Pierzynski was one of the best Cub moments in my life. This wasn't a scuffle, he decked Pierzynski. So which current Cub is the team badass? Who would be most likely to step up like Barrett did? Maybe the badass that took Barrett on in the dugout, Carlos Zambrano? Well, he isn't pitching in this series. Plus, he's nursing a shoulder. I think Derek Lee's punch on Chris Young last year was pretty weak and that seemed out of the ordinary for Lee. So I don't think it will be him.
My pick is Geovany Soto. I mean, this current group of Cubs players don't look real tough. Mark Derosa and Mike Fontenot aren't exactly intimidating. But I wouldn't want to cross Soto. He's a catcher, so he's got to be tough and ready for some physical impact at all times.
He's a rookie and shooting for a starting bid on the NL All-Star team. So maybe this is his chance to step up and be a leader on this team. Again, I'm not advocating violence, but to quote the movie Rudy, "Nobody comes into our house and pushes us around". Maybe the Cubs just aren't feared enough yet. Whether it's with runs, attitude or fists, I think the Cubs need to show who should be feared in the city of Chicago.
Go Cubs, take care of the Sox!


THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Paramount Pictures/ Miramax Films Director: Anthony Minghella Writer: Patricia Highsmith (novel), Anthony Minghella Cast: Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Cate Blanchett, Jack Davenport, Caterina Deregibus, Philip Seymour Hoffman, James Rebhorn, Stefania Rocca, Philip Baker Hall
Aside from self-defense, do you think you could kill another human being? Not your style? Perhaps. But some people disagree with you. One of the dissenters is Patricia Highsmith, whose 1955 novel "The Talented Mr. Ripley" has been made by Anthony Minghella ("The English Patient") into what is easily the best crime thriller of the year. Minghella proves that he is as adept at fashioning edge-of-your seat, Hitchcockian dramas of transgression as he is at building a sweeping love story. "The Talented Mr. Ripley" is the second screen adaptation of the Highsmith novel, the first being Rene Clement's "Purple Noon" which starred Alain Delon as the title character who envies his playboy friend and decides to kill the young man and assume his identity. Both were lavishly filmed in some of Italy's more scenic and characteristic spots. Minghella wisely avoids the temptation to do the appealing psychological study in the noir style, allowing cinematographer John Seale to capture the brightly- colored vistas of Ischia, Palermo, Rome, Anzio and Venice, thus affording the Italian Tourist Board with spectacular, free promotion.
The Paramount Pictures/Miramax Films co-production also features some of the handsomest performers in the business, including the Jude Law, who bears not a slight resemblance to a Greek god; a role that nicely explores the resources of the talented Matt Damon; and a strikingly appealing Gwyneth Paltrow who looks lovelier here than she has ever appeared before. Cate Blanchett, who turns in a satisfactory performance as a ditzy rich gal comes across as just plain silly in a role that does not capitalize on her own meticulous capabilities.
"The Talented Mr. Ripley" was the first in writer Patricia Highsmith's series about an struggling American who becomes entirely captivated by the good life in Europe and simply could not see himself returning to the states as a hotel bathroom attendant and sometimes pianist at social gatherings. And who could blame him? How are you going to keep this Yank down in New York after he's tasted la dolce vita?
Convincing shipping magnate Herbert Greenleaf, the father (James Rebhorn) of a wastrel, Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) that he had attended the same class as Dickie at Princeton University, Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) is given a thousand dollars by the older Greenleaf to go to Italy and convince the young man to return home. Tom discovers Dickie soaking up the sun with his girl friend, Marge Sherwood (Gwyneth Paltrow), persuades the rich young man as well that they were classmates at Princeton, and, pretending that he shares a passion for jazz and a talent for impersonation, is taken in by Dickie as a guest. While Tom hangs out with Dickie, eating his food and allowing his host to buy him some custom-made threads, shares with him the rich life--attending jazz clubs and gawking at the beauty of a land which, on his own, he would never have been able to see. We can easily see how the alluring Dickie draws people toward him like a magnet, as he jumps on the stage to share a song in Italian, plays his saxophone, and plans a ski trip with his snobbish American friend, Freddie (Philip Seymour Hoffman).
His ability to fit in with the good life gives Tom Ripley a vision: he could have it all if he could erase Dickie from the scene, assume his identity, and spend time forging checks and passing himself off as the influential son of a magnate. Each time a situation arises that could give him away, we in the audience hold our breath to see how in the heck this audacious liar and murderer can avoid getting caught. Tom's skill at winging it makes him actually likable to us notwithstanding his dastardly deed, and given the natural resentment, perhaps envy, we may have for the guy he kills (who is a womanizer as well as a wastrel), we may actually root for him to fool everybody--Dickie's girl friend, the American woman, Meredith Logue (Cate Blanchett) who seems to turn up everywhere, Dickie's American friend, Freddie Miles, and yet another man Tom befriends, Peter Smith-Kingsley (Jack Davenport).
 The Patricia Highsmith style can be spotted by anyone lucky enough to see the first-class Hitchcock picture, the 1951 "Strangers on a Train," featuring a psychopathic Robert Walker's relationship with a tennis star played by Farley Granger.
To see why a typically banal Hollywood ending was avoided we need only check into the writings of novelist Highsmith who once said, "Neither life nor nature cares if justice is ever done or not." While director Minghella does make one concession to the modern American audience by providing an emotional reason for the murder, Highsmith was herself without interest in psychological explanations for anything. Book reviewer Susannah Clapp has said, "Rather than engaging the reader with the solution to a crime or the thrill of a chase, Highsmith invites us to observe life as a cunningly devised trap from which there is, as events accumulate, no escape." Minghella remains true to the source by registering all actions in the movie, whether violent or not, in a matter-of-fact way, allowing us in the audience to treat events as witnesses to a clever game of a man focusing his energies on avoiding a series of traps. The talented Mr. Minghella will have every congregation of movie viewers sitting in continuous apprehension.

Tales, Alerts and Actions¶
Introduction¶
Tattle Tales are the heart and soul of the system. Tales are definitions for alerts and define such things as what query will run, our time window, thresholds, actions to take, etc.
Note
Tales are kept in yaml files in $TATTLE_HOME/etc/tattle/tales
, $TATTLE_HOME/etc/tales
or in $TATTLE_HOME/etc/alerts
.
To understand Tales, lets take a look at a few examples below. We will use these as reference for the rest of the Tales documentation.
Example Tales¶
In this example, we will finding all hosts in our environment that have a disk usage of greater than or equal to 90%. When a match is found, it will send us an alert via Pagerduty as well as an email for each key ( host in this case ) that was matched.
TQL Query with multiple aggs and multi action example
name: "Disk Usage over 90 %"
description: "Disk Usage High on a host or series of hosts"
severity: "High"
tql_query: "summary.fullest_disk:>=90 | terms name=server, field=host.raw | avg name=fullest_disk, field=summary.fullest_disk"
index: "system-metrics-*"
disabled: 0
timeperiod:
start: "now-1h"
end: "now"
alert:
type: "frequency"
relation: "gt"
qty: 0
realert: "4h"
return_matches:
length: 10
random: true
action:
pagerduty:
enabled: 1
service_key: "TattleAlerts"
once_per_match:
match_key: "key"

-<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Tale Definitions¶
description¶
- Required: Yes
- Description: A brief description of the tale.
Example:
description: "The disk usage on the server >= 90% on the root filesystem``
severity¶
- Required: No
- Description: The severity of the alert. This is a string, and can be whatever you want. 1-5, Low-Crit, etc
Example:
severity: "High"
disabled¶
- Required: Yes
- Description: Whteher this Tale is enabled (0) or disabled (1)
Example:
# This alert is enabled, i.e. its NOT disabled
disabled: 0
# This alert is disabled
disabled: 1
# You can even use strings
disabled: "yes"
# Or True and False Statements
disabled: true
tql_query¶
- Required: Yes
- Description: The TQL query for the Tale. See the TQL section for more details
Example:
tql_query: "summary.fullest_disk:>=90 | terms name=server, field=host.raw | avg name=fullest_disk, field=summary.fullest_disk"
index¶
Required Yes
Description: The index pattern where you the events you are searching reside. Default is
logstash-*
- More information:
- Currently Tattle expects your indexes to be in daily format
YYYY.MM.DD
which is pretty standard/common. The*
at the end of the index name tells Tattle to figure out which indexes to search against based on the timeperiod. Lets use the example ofnow-1h
as our start time, and assume our current time is2016/02/02 00:01:00
; when Tattle runs it will actually search against two indexes:system-metrics-2016.02.02
andsystem-metrics-2016.02.01
since-1h
from now would have technically been yesterday.- If you do not specify a
*
Tattle will use just that index name, with no time- In the future we plan to add the definition of index pattern
Example:
index: "system-metrics-*
timeperiod¶
start
,end
Required: Yes
Description: The timeperiod for events this Tale searches for. This is a rolling window using python-datemath as our start and end times.
- More information:
- More documentation on python-datemath can be found here: https://github.com/nickmaccarthy/python-datemath
Example:
timeperiod:
# The start of our alert window
start: 'now-1h'
# The end of our alert window
end: 'now'
alert¶
type¶
Required: Yes
Description: The type of the alert
- Values
frequency
- Description: If the number of events meets our
relation
andqty
agg_match
- Description: If our value meets a regular expression match of something
relation¶
Required: Yes
Description: If our event count meets our relation, then the alert should fire
- Values
eq
,=
- Equal Tone
,!=
- Not Equal Tolt
,<
- Less Than- ‘
gt
,>
- Greater Thanle
,<=
- Less Than or Equal Toge
,>=
- Greater Than or Equal To
qty¶
- Required: Yes
- Description: What we compare our
relation
to
Example”:
## If our number of events is greater than or equal to 10, then we should alert
relation: ">="
qty: 10
realert¶
Required: Yes
Description: How long Tattle will wait before it will re-alert on this Tale. If Tattle is still finding matches for this Tale, but we are within the re-alert threshold, then Tattle will not alert.
- Notes:
Every time Tattle fires an alert, it stores it in the Tattle index in Elasticserach ( default is
tattle-int
). When the Tale gets loaded, one of the first thing it does it check to see when the last time this Tale fired. It then compares the last time to the realert threshold, diffs the two and if we are beyone our re-alert threshold, then Tattle will re-fire the Tale.
- It uses simple datemath like so:
1h
2m
3d
Example:
# Don't alert us to this again for 1 hour
realert: "1h"
return_matches¶
Required: Yes
Description: If Tattle should return the matches it found. It will return those matches in whatever action you have configured
- Notes:
- Sometimes you can get many matches ( hundreds or thousands for example ). With the
random: True
orlength: 10
stanzas Tattle can return a randam sample of10
results
Example:
# Assuming we could get hundreds of matches back
return_matches:
# Return back a random sample of 20 results
random: true
length: 20
action¶
Alert Types¶
Frequency¶
Frequency alerts occur when a certain number of events ( as defined by relation
and qty
) occur within a certain period of time.
Here are some examples:
- “20 or more failed login events with in the past 1 hour”
Example
name: "Too many login failures"
tql_query: '"failed login"'
index: "secure-log-*"
timeperiod:
start: "now-1h"
end: "now"
alert:
type: "frequency"
qty: 20
relation: ">="
- “300 or more Nginx logs with an error code of 502 in the last 1 minute”
Example
name: "NGINX 502 errors"
tql_query: "status:502 | terms field=hostname"
index: "nginx-access-*"
timeperiod:
start: "now-1m"
end: "now"
alert:
type: "frequency"
qty: 300
relation: ">="
- “Less than 1000 events on all of our NGINX logs for the past 1 hour”
Example
name: "Low event count on NGINX, possible log outage"
tql_query: "*"
index: "nginx-access-*"
timeperiod:
start: "now-1h"
end: "now"
alert:
type: "frequency"
qty: 1000
relation: "le"
Regex Match¶
Match alerts are useful for aggregation alerts. Often times the result of an aggregtion query will result in a value
. This type of alert type can use a regular expression to match the value and compare it to our qty
and relation
fields
Alert Actions¶
Actions are what is taken after the Tale has met its alert threshold.
You can also have multiple actions per Tale. In our example Tale, you can we have two actions configured, one to send Emails, and one to send the alerts to Pager Duty as well.
Email¶
Probably the most common alert action. Tattle sends a formatted, HTML email to recipient(s)
The email server properties are stored in $TATTLE_HOME/etc/tattle/tattle.yaml
, so please set that up first before you proceed with email alerts
Tale Examples:
Example
action:
email:
# We can enable or disable this action with this flag
enabled: 1
# Who the email should go to
to: [<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>]
# If we should send a sperate email for every match. If this is not set, then the all of the results are sent in one email
once_per_match:
# The match key, is the part of the result we use our primary key for sperating the results in seperate emails
# In this case its "key" since its the key of the aggregation. In our case this will be the hostname
# If we had 4 hosts that matched then we would have 4 seperate emails. Tattle will append the 'match_key' to the subject of the email as well
match_key: "key"
If you want to change the HTML for the email, add company logos etc, you can change the templates directly in $TATTLE_HOME/use/share/templates/html/email.html
Pager Duty¶
Another very common use for Tattle is to send its alert direclty to Pager Duty.
Pager Duty alerts can be setup to Service Key, as defined in Pager Duty itself. The service Key definitions can be stored in the $TATTLE_HOME/etc/tattle/pagerduty.yaml
and can be referenced in the action by thier title.
Example $TATTLEHOME/etc/tattle/pagerduty.yaml
TattleAlerts:
service_key: "<service key>"
DataSystems:
service_key: "<service_key>"
WebSystem:
service_key: "<service_key>"
Example Tale action
action:
pagerduty:
# We can enable or disable this action here
enabled: 1
# The name of the service key to use, as defined in pagerduty.yaml
service_key: "TattleAlerts"
# If we should compile seperate pagerduty alerts for each match. If this is not set, then the all of the results are sent in one PD alert
once_per_match:
# The match key, is the part of the result we use our primary key for sperating the results in seperate PD alerts
# In this case its "key" since its the key of the aggregation. In our case this will be the hostname
# If we had 4 hosts that matched then we would have 4 seperate Pagerduty alerts. Tattle will append the 'match_key' to the subject of the Pagerduty alert as well
match_key: "key"
Multiple Tales¶
Its often useful to group Tales by their purpose. For example, you might want to group your Nginx Access Tales together, your Nginx Error Tales sperately, and your Securelog Tales together. Lets say we have 20 differnt Nginx Tales, and 10 different Securelog Tales; that would mean we would have have at least 30 seperate Tale .yaml
files in our $TATTLE_HOME/etc/tales
directory. As you can imagine, the more you use Tattle, the more unwieldy this can get.
Luckily Tattle allows you to define multiple Tales in one .yaml
file to alleviate this issue. Using the example below, you can see how we grouped two Nginx Tales into one file. There can be as many Tales as you want this one in one yaml
file.
Example Multi Tale¶
Example for NGINX logs
tales:
# Tale 1
-
name: "NGINX 502 Spike"
description: "A high number of 501's have occured in our NGINX logs"
severity: "Criticial"
tql_query: "status:502"
index: "nginx-access-*"
disabled: 0
schedule_interval: "1m"
timeperiod:
start: "now-1m"
end: "now"
alert:
type: "frequency"
relation: "ge"
qty: 10
realert: "15m"
return_matches: false
action:
email:
disabled: 0
