Following up on KMeans Clustering Now Running on Elastic MapReduce, Stephen Green has generously documented the steps that was necessary to get an example of k-Means clustering up and running on Amazon’s Elastic MapReduce (EMR) on the Apache Lucene Mahout wiki.
Mahout on Elastic MapReduce by Stephen Green
As a side note, there has been considerable [...]

In A Review of Zabbix - Zabbix Rules! (Part 1) we provided a brief introduction to Zabbix in the context of network and security management. In this post I will discuss Zabbix as an event processing platform.
Zabbix is like most event processing platforms. Zabbix provides both agent-initiated events as well as server-requested events. [...]

It was 1992, the Internet was still an uncertain “dream technology” by scientists, and I was working at SprintLink. My role was the lead systems engineer to set up the network and security management center for SprintLink and Managed Router Network (MRN) team.
We used HP Open View Network Node Manager (NNM) for our core network [...]

Following up on Real-Time Predictive Analytics for Web Servers I thought we should “move up a level” and look at various open network monitoring platforms with trend prediction capabilities.
Our web server management team picked Zabbix to monitor a busy production server and then we started to look into adding predictive analytics afterwards. Alberto recommended we [...]

We recently made the decision to move to Zabbix to monitor one of our busy production Apache web servers. One of the things we need to do in the future is try to predict system outages and take corrective actions before the system actually goes down.
For example, recently a busy server experenced an outage that [...]
