Dropping duplicate events in Logstash
# Dropping duplicate events in Logstash
#
# Explanation:
# - Add a hashed field with the anonymize filter (it's fast)
# - ES docs are unique per index/docid, duplicates will be overwritten
# - Set ES "document_id" field when submitting
#
# Caveats:
# - Adds a nonsense field to your events. Annoying but harmless.
# - Make sure that whatever field(s) you hash are unique!

Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?

Networking Troubles with Vagrant Box ubuntu/wily64

Networking Troubles with Vagrant Box ubuntu/wily64

For some reason, the network interfaces in ubuntu/wily64 fail to configure at boot. The interfaces are renamed during boot, with dmesg reporting things like udev renamed network interface eth0 to enp1s0. This is apparently the result of a change in systemd. You can read about it here:

Starting with v197 systemd/udev will automatically assign predictable, stable network interface names for all local Ethernet, WLAN and WWAN interfaces. This is a departure from the traditional interface naming scheme ("eth0", "eth1", "wlan0", ...), but should fix real problems.

About Those Lava Lamps

Around 2006-2007, it was a bit of a fashion to hook lava lamps up to the build server. Normally, the green lava lamp would be on, but if the build failed, it would turn off and the red lava lamp would turn on.

By coincidence, I've actually met, about that time, (probably) the first person to hook up a lava lamp to a build server. It was Alberto Savoia, who'd founded a testing tools company (that did some very interesting things around generative testing that have basically never been noticed). Alberto had noticed that people did not react with any urgency when the build broke. They'd check in broken code and go off to something else, only reacting to the breakage they'd caused when some other programmer pulled the change and had problems.
