The document discusses using the open source tools Nagios and Cacti to monitor business metrics. Nagios can be used to monitor things like orders, imported data, and customer activity by creating PHP scripts that return status codes. Cacti is a graphing tool that can visualize business metrics over time through configuration of data input methods, templates, graphs, and tree organization. Both tools involve writing PHP scripts to extract and return meaningful data that the tools can then monitor and graph.

Nagios
NagiosEddy Mulyono Many system administrators are responsible for monitoring numerous servers that have different critical roles and often run applications 24/7. Properly planning and selecting monitoring software is important to determine what and how to monitor servers effectively based on requirements, while considering scalability, cost, and support. Nagios is an open-source option that is well-documented, customizable through plugins, and easy to install, but configuration requires using templates and hierarchies to manage alerts and check intervals for large server pools.

Maximizing PHP Performance with NGINXNGINX, Inc. Watch the webinar on demand: https://www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/maximize-php-performance-with-nginx
Is your PHP app slowing to a crawl? PHP is a powerful programming language that powers roughly 80% of the internet, but it’s unfortunately subject to performance problems – as we all know. Luckily, for thousands of PHP-based applications, some relatively simple changes can lead to noticeable improvements in performance.
NGINX has greatly improved application performance for more than 150 million sites in production today. Using NGINX greatly improves the performance of PHP apps with features such as caching, load balancing, HTTP/2 support, and more, included in open source NGINX software and in our commercial-grade application delivery platform NGINX Plus.

Configuration management: automating and rationalizing server setup with CFEn...
Configuration management: automating and rationalizing server setup with CFEn...RUDDER With the advent of virtualization and cloud computing, modern IT management relies more and more on the concept of "create, set up, use and throw away" servers. In this context, the benefits of automating and rationalizing the "set up phase" are obvious. This is where configuration management tools come in to play.
This presentation kicks off with a discussion of some key points of configuration management and their benefits and drawbacks, building on real world examples (well, pseudo examples, mostly too silly to have ever really happened... or maybe not?)
The main contender will then be introduced: CFEngine 3. Released in 2009, this is a brand new version of the open source configuration management solution, built on 17+ years of experience from previous versions of the software. We'll introduce the technology's key points, comparing approaches with similar devops-type tools, such as Puppet and Chef (where possible).
I then cover the basics of setting up a minimal environment to start automating your configuration with CFEngine 3, and simple but illustrative examples.

Quattor
QuattorInria Quattor is an open-source tool aimed at efficient management of fabrics with hundred or thousand of Linux machines, still being easy enough to manage smaller clusters. It has been originally developed during the European Data Grid (EDG) project. It is now in use at more than 50 grid sites running gLite middleware, ranging from small EGEE/LCG T3 to very large one like CERN.
Quattor ability to factorize common part of description configuration and advanced features of PAN language used to do this description allowed to build and maintain a common set of templates that any site can just import and customize without editing them. This resulted in the so-called QWG templates, a complete set of standard templates to configure OS and gLite middleware. This results in a very efficient sharing of installation and configuration tasks around the world. This could be extended to many service configuration other than grid services and is already available for standard services like mail, web servers... with a support for configuring virtual machines.
This presentation, in addition to Quattor specific features, will introduce how the project is managed by the community and plans for the long-term sustainability of the product.

Astiostech presented several important factors to consider when monitoring a web service with of course special focus on Joomla. However, these guidelines can be used for just about any web service you may want to monitor. Monitoring is pivotal to a web infrastructure and it should not be considered today as a luxury. With tools like Nagios XI, we can simply start monitoring with mere clicks of a web browser and you're pretty much on the right track.

UX Change Fatigue: Building Resilient Teams in Times of Transformation by Mal...
UX Change Fatigue: Building Resilient Teams in Times of Transformation by Mal...UXPA Boston In an era of relentless transformation, organizations face mounting challenges—from post-pandemic work models and economic uncertainties to the rapid rise of AI and automation. Employees are increasingly overwhelmed, with research indicating their ability to cope with change has declined to 50% of pre-pandemic levels. This phenomenon, known as Change Fatigue, manifests as resistance or passive resignation to organizational shifts, leading to higher attrition and lost productivity. UX teams, in particular, feel this strain as they navigate complexities in aligning with business objectives while advocating for user needs.
This talk explores strategies for UX leaders to build resilient teams capable of withstanding ongoing cycles of change. The foundation of resilience lies in four key pillars: trust, team cohesion, business awareness, and active change management.
Building Trust: Trust is crucial for engagement and transparency within UX teams. Leaders must foster a culture of presence, empathy, and open communication, ensuring team members feel supported and valued.
Enhancing Team Cohesion: A strong sense of belonging and collaboration improves adaptability. Strategies such as cultivating psychological safety, encouraging cross-functional partnerships, and fostering an abundance mindset create a more unified and effective UX practice.
Developing Business Awareness: UX teams gain influence by aligning their work with business goals. Understanding key business drivers and integrating UX impact metrics with organizational success indicators helps position designers as strategic contributors rather than mere executors.
Sustaining through Active Change Management: Leaders must guide their teams through change by prioritizing initiatives, democratizing decision-making, and proactively managing long-term ripple effects to prevent burnout and disengagement.
Ultimately, while the pace of change will not slow, UX teams that cultivate trust, cohesion, business acumen, and adaptability will not only endure transformation but thrive within it. This session provides actionable insights to help UX leaders sustain teams and drive meaningful impact amid continuous organizational evolution.

Build your own NES Emulator... with Kotlin
Build your own NES Emulator... with KotlinArtur Skowroński For those who have ever wanted to recreate classic games, this presentation covers my five-year journey to build a NES emulator in Kotlin. Starting from scratch in 2020 (you can probably guess why), I’ll share the challenges posed by the architecture of old hardware, performance optimization (surprise, surprise), and the difficulties of emulating sound. I’ll also highlight which Kotlin features shine (and why concurrency isn’t one of them). This high-level overview will walk through each step of the process—from reading ROM formats to where GPT can help, though it won’t write the code for us just yet. We’ll wrap up by launching Mario on the emulator (hopefully without a call from Nintendo).
Building Connected Agents: An Overview of Google's ADK and A2A Protocol
Building Connected Agents: An Overview of Google's ADK and A2A ProtocolSuresh Peiris Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) provides a framework for building AI agents, including complex multi-agent systems. It offers tools for development, deployment, and orchestration.
Complementing this, the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol is an open standard by Google that enables these AI agents, even if from different developers or frameworks, to communicate and collaborate effectively. A2A allows agents to discover each other's capabilities and work together on tasks.
In essence, ADK helps create the agents, and A2A provides the common language for these connected agents to interact and form more powerful, interoperable AI solutions.

Bridging AI and Human Expertise: Designing for Trust and Adoption in Expert S...UXPA Boston AI and Machine Learning are transforming expert systems, augmenting human decision-making in fields ranging from finance and healthcare to manufacturing and supply chain. But for AI to be truly effective, experts must trust and adopt these systems. This talk explores how UX practitioners can bridge the gap between AI’s computational power and human expertise.
We'll discuss key challenges, including designing for trust, working with the limits of explainability, and ensuring adoption through user-centered strategies. Attendees will gain practical insights into how to craft AI-driven experiences that experts rely on with confidence, ensuring these systems enhance rather than hinder decision-making.

TrustArc Webinar: Cross-Border Data Transfers in 2025
TrustArc Webinar: Cross-Border Data Transfers in 2025TrustArc In 2025, cross-border data transfers are becoming harder to manage—not because there are no rules, the regulatory environment has become increasingly complex. Legal obligations vary by jurisdiction, and risk factors include national security, AI, and vendor exposure. Some of the examples of the recent developments that are reshaping how organizations must approach transfer governance:
- The U.S. DOJ’s new rule restricts the outbound transfer of sensitive personal data to foreign adversaries countries of concern, introducing national security-based exposure that privacy teams must now assess.
- The EDPB confirmed that GDPR applies to AI model training — meaning any model trained on EU personal data, regardless of location, must meet lawful processing and cross-border transfer standards.
- Recent enforcement — such as a €290 million GDPR fine against Uber for unlawful transfers and a €30.5 million fine against Clearview AI for scraping biometric data signals growing regulatory intolerance for cross-border data misuse, especially when transparency and lawful basis are lacking.
- Gartner forecasts that by 2027, over 40% of AI-related privacy violations will result from unintended cross-border data exposure via GenAI tools.
Together, these developments reflect a new era of privacy risk: not just legal exposure—but operational fragility. Privacy programs must/can now defend transfers at the system, vendor, and use-case level—with documentation, certification, and proactive governance.
The session blends policy/regulatory events and risk framing with practical enablement, using these developments to explain how TrustArc’s Data Mapping & Risk Manager, Assessment Manager and Assurance Services help organizations build defensible, scalable cross-border data transfer programs.
This webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.

Harmonizing Multi-Agent Intelligence | Open Data Science Conference | Gary Ar...Gary Arora This deck from my talk at the Open Data Science Conference explores how multi-agent AI systems can be used to solve practical, everyday problems — and how those same patterns scale to enterprise-grade workflows.
I cover the evolution of AI agents, when (and when not) to use multi-agent architectures, and how to design, orchestrate, and operationalize agentic systems for real impact. The presentation includes two live demos: one that books flights by checking my calendar, and another showcasing a tiny local visual language model for efficient multimodal tasks.
Key themes include:
✅ When to use single-agent vs. multi-agent setups
✅ How to define agent roles, memory, and coordination
✅ Using small/local models for performance and cost control
✅ Building scalable, reusable agent architectures
✅ Why personal use cases are the best way to learn before deploying to the enterprise
