Log of all connections/queries via Parse - parse-platform

I'm working on optimizing an app that interfaces with Parse.com and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to monitor/log all connections and/or queries executed.
I've looked through the documentation and clicked around and can't see anything readily available so hoping someone can help.
Thanks

Searching in multiple APIs

I come across a problem that I have no clue where should I start in order to solve it.
I have a service that searchs for something very usual, for instance, the current dollar cotation in Brazil. I have multiple trust Apis that can provide me this information, but response time is critical to my service, so I have to choose the faster API, always.
Do anyone knows where do I get started here? Any clue would be great. Thanks !
I would go with parallel asynchronous requests on the different API you think are the best.
Then you only treat the first response.

standalone client to hear on graphql subscriptions without a GUI

I am trying to write a standalone client that hears after subscribing to the exposed graphql subscription on an apollo server.
But I can only find the ones which requires a browser to trigger it.
I want the listening on the opened websocket to be automated.
I have taken a look at https://github.com/apollographql/subscriptions-transport-ws, but it didn't work through.
Feeling lost here. Would be glad if someone can point in the correct direction.
I was able to find a great tool for the same https://github.com/hasura/graphqurl
Adding it here so it could help other folks looking for the same.

Any way to use MvcMiniProfiler on windows application? Or is there a sister application?

So I've started using MvcMiniProfiler on our websites and quite like it. We have a Windows Application component/framework that is leveraged by the website and I was wondering if it was possible to use the profiler on that. I'm assuming not, but maybe there is a subcomponent of the code that could be used? I see that there is a way to configure where the results are stored (i.e. Sql Server) so maybe it is close to possible?
We have the following flow:
Website submits job to 'broker' then returns a 'come back later' page.
Broker runs and eventually data in the websites database gets updated by the broker.
Website displays the results.
I'd be great if there was a way I could get the entire workflow profiled. If there is no way/no intentions from the developers to make MvcMiniProfiler available to Windows applications, any recommendations for similar styled profilers?
You could get this working by using SqlServerStorage, there is very little in the code base that heavily depends on ASP.NET, in fact the SQL interceptor is generalized and so it the stack used to capture the traces.
I imagine that a few changes internally need to be made, eg: use Thread.SetData as opposed to HttpContext but they are pretty superficial.
The way you would get this going is by passing the "profiling identity" into the App and then continuing tracking there. Eventually when the user hits the site after it happens, it would show up as little "chiclets" on the left side.
A patch is totally welcome here but it is not something it does in its current version.
(note to future readers, this is probably going to be out of date at some point, if it is please suggest an edit)
Yes, there's a Windows porting of MiniProfiler: http://nootn.github.io/MiniProfiler.Windows/

getting started with Single Sign On / Windows Authentication

First off, The Problem:
We have a Web App with a Flash front-end that talks to our ASP.NET web service via SOAP which then deals with all of our server side code (C#).
Right now, we implement a simple user sign on in our application, storing the info in our MSSQL DB.
A client has requested what I understand to be Windows authentication through our application using the currently logged in user.
So, I have been tasked with investigating this. Nobody, including myself, has any experience in this area.
I have been reading up on some basic Active Directory information, and some simple tutorials. I understand how to get access to the directory using ADSI through code. What I'm really interested in seeing is how the entire thing should be architected. I don't want to throw together a hacky solution.
Does anyone know of a good tutorial for this kind of thing or have any advice on getting started? More importantly, does this even sound viable?
I know I haven't given much information, but feel free to ask and I will provide answers.
Thanks.
Edit:
Will, to give you an idea of the scope of this, the network will include every computer in a large hospital. So yes, this is huge. Clearly I need to start small. I would like to come up with something that will work at my office first. Maybe ~10 Windows computers on a single domain. One Domain Controller.
I am also open to any good books on the subject.
If you are going to tie into Active Directory you will want to take a look at the System.DirectoryServices namespace. The implementations can vary wildly depending on your system architecture, but this should give you a good starting point.
Enjoy!

Has anyone written Ruby code to programmatically modify their DNS?

There are a bunch of services (dyndns, nettica, etc.) that offer API's but I'm having trouble with Nettica's and I was just wondering if anyone has a nice gem suggestion for any of the DNS services... I'm not set on one or the other.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Chad
This just in, Nettica does work as intended, but you need to buy the bulk DNS service in order to enable the AddRecord API call....... wasn't documented clearly but their support was able to point this out.
