Using std::vector as a C array

There are several ways to use a std::vector as a C array (for example, for compatibility with C libraries). This is possible because the elements in a vector are stored contiguously. C++11 std::vector<int> v{ 1, 2, 3 }; int* p = v.data(); In contrast to solutions based on previous C++ st...

This function (in short) first checks if the value is a number, if not tries to convert it (*), and then checks if the resulting value is NaN. For this reason, this testing method may ...

Counting total number of documents in last 5 minutes

lscount returns a time bucketed count of matching documents in the LogStash index, according to the specified filter. A trivial use of this would be to check how many documents in total have been received in the 5 minutes, and alert if it is below a certain threshold. A Bosun alert for this might ...
