Monitorama 2018 Talks

Hi I'm Ilan, I work at Datadog, a monitoring and analytics platform for large-scale applications and infrastructure. I've been at Monitorama this week and figured I'd make it easy to find the talks from the conference.

Datadog is hiring! Come join me

HARRISON BERGERON by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. 

THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal 
before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter 
than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was 
stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 
211th, 212th, and 213 th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing 
vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.

I highly suspect that the RSpec core team all use black backgrounds in their terminals because sometimes the colors aren’t so nice on my white terminal

I certainly use a black background. I'm not sure about the other RSpec core folks. Regardless, if there are some color changes we can make that would make output look good on a larger variety of backgrounds, we'll certainly consider that (do you have some suggested changes?). In the meantime, the colors are configurable, so you can change the colors to fit your preferences on your machine. First, create a file at

Installing Docker (Virtualbox, boot2docker, docker)

1. Download and install the latest boot2docker for OS X.
2. Open a new Terminal and enter boot2docker init
3. Run boot2docker start
4. You will be given an environment variable to export export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2375. Add that to your bash_profile or equivalent.
5. You have a successful environment when the output of docker version is clean (exits 0). The output should look a bit like:

Client version: 1.1.0

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

                 '"remote_user": "$remote_user",'
                 '"time_local":  "$time_local",'
