How to Reduce the Volume of NGINX Logs

If you’ve worked with NGINX web servers, you know they’re efficient but can generate a lot of log data. While this data is valuable, sorting through it can be a challenge, and the storage and processing costs can quickly add up. This is where BindPlane OP comes in. It helps reduce log volume while still preserving the crucial information. It streamlines your data, filters out the irrelevant bits, and zeroes in on key data points, helping manage storage and keep costs under control.

Overcoming Kubernetes Monitoring Challenges with Observability

At Logz.io, we’re seeing a very fast pace of adoption for Kubernetes–at this point, it’s even outpacing cloud adoption, with companies running on-prem fully adopting Kubernetes in production. Why are companies going in this direction? Kubernetes provides additional layers of abstraction, which helps create business agility and flexibility for deploying critical applications. At the same time, those abstraction layers create additional complexity for observability.
