Snyk Integration Capabilities with WebHooks - some examples

Created: Sep 19, 2022
TL;DR Integrate your Snyk application security platform by leveraging webhooks into various other external systems such as Microsoft Teams, Azure DevOps Boards, New Relic, DataDog and Splunk. Here are all the necessary links to get started: GitHub Repository: https://github.com/harrykimpel/snyk-webhook-subscription Microsoft Teams: https://github.com/harrykimpel/snyk-webhook-subscription/blob/main/azure-function-microsoft-teams.cs Azure DevOps Boards: https://github.com/harrykimpel/snyk-webhook-subscription/blob/main/azure-function-azure-boards.cs New Relic: https://github.com/harrykimpel/snyk-webhook-subscription/blob/main/azure-function-newrelic.cs DataDog: https://github.com/harrykimpel/snyk-webhook-subscription/blob/main/azure-function-datadog.cs Splunk: https://github.com/harrykimpel/snyk-webhook-subscription/blob/main/azure-function-splunk.cs Background In the past few weeks I have been quite busy in my spare time to think about new ways of integrating the Snyk application security platform with various other systems and especially also observability platforms.

TL;DR Leverage a Prometheus Exporter to send all your application security vulnerabilities from Snyk into Splunk. Here are all the necessary links to get started: Snyk Exporter: https://github.com/lunarway/snyk_exporter Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes: https://docs.splunk.com/Observability/gdi/opentelemetry/install-k8s.html#otel-install-k8s Update (2022-09-22) The option that I am describing here is just one way to achieve this. There might even be a more straight forward option available that I started to describe in a more recent post.

Year 2021 Reflection - What's next in 2022?

Created: Jan 10, 2022
As I reflect on the past year 2021, I have to say that I am very thankful for all the nice and passionate people I met and opportunities I had to make connections – most virtually, but quite a few also in person. It is still a tough time for everyone to be in, but the most important thing is to stay positive and optimistic about the future. As many of my close friends and connections on various social channels know, 2021 has also been a year of change for me personally.

Visual Studio Code REST Client Scripting

Postman is a great tool to showcase how APIs work. The collections for commercetools are very sophisticated and provide all the details you need in order to demo their capabilities. However, sometimes it is just great to know alternative ways to demo certain aspects. Especially from a developer perspective, Visual Studio Code seems to be the de-facto standard nowadays. VS Code has a huge ecosystem of extensions available … and one of these is REST Client created by Huachao Mao.

I am working with a global enterprise on rolling out the entire New Relic platform capabilities across their organization. The technical teams are happy and very confident in using the New Relic One platform. They have pretty much all the information they need and get all the way from high-level overviews of their entire stack down to code-level views. However, for management and executive leadership it is hard to get an overview themselves.

Observing Dapr applications with New Relic One

Created: Jan 31, 2021
It was back in 2019 at Microsoft Ignite in Orlando when I discovered a new project referred to as Distributed Application Runtime, or Dapr for short. This immediately caught my attention and Mark Russinovich did an amazing job presenting this to the audience. Dapr is quite an interesting project for me in many ways. First of all, software architecture is near and dear to my heart and Dapr solves a lot of the challenges developers typically face when designing and implementing applications.

Microsoft Ignite - Azure announcements and more

Created: Dec 02, 2019
Just recently I attended Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft’s annual flagship technology conference with a focus on cloud and developers. The key theme this year was around “Tech Intensity” that Satya also talked about on LinkedIn earlier this year. Here is a quote from the LinkedIn post: There are two aspects to tech intensity: First, every organization will need to be a fast adopter of best-in- class technology, and equally important, they will need to build their own unique digital capabilities, which starts with workers who are deeply knowledgeable about the latest technology.

Fun Project: Amazon Alexa Skill for New Relic Insights

Created: Nov 03, 2017
As a fun project in some spare time, I recently worked on a way to tell Amazon Alexa how to talk to New Relic Insights and retrieve some high-level information about an account. I was just curious on what it would take to get Alexa to access our Insights API with a voice command and Alexa to speak out some result of this query. You typically start by creating an Amazon developer account and register a new Alexa Skill with the Alexa Skills Kit.
