The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana
Robert Keizer will be doing a presentation on Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. The presentation will focus on running these systems in a production environment. Elasticsearch is a highly available NoSQL distributed database which is primarily used for real-time and deep searching. When used in conjunction, these systems provide a very robust and feature-complete solution for enterprise log management.
Rob will go through setting up and installing all three systems, as well as provide an overview and example of these systems.
RTFM
For this month's RTFM, Gilbert Detillieux will talk about the getcap(8) and setcap(8) commands, used to control Linux capabilities(7) as an alternative to using setuid-root binaries. This provides a safer way of allowing unprivileged users to execute operations normally requiring root permission.
AGM
Plus, this month's meeting is the MUUG annual general meeting, which included the election of the MUUG board of directors for the 2015-2016 year (which will be by acclamation). There is also a notice of motion to ammend the MUUG by-laws.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.
