Has the public sector ever been under so much pressure? Universal across all government departments, essential public services are under significant strain. However, COVID-19 and the subsequent knock-on impacts (economic, social and healthcare challenges) have buckled the resilience and kept many front-line concerned with delivering the scale of service required by the public.

As Sean Price discusses in his ‘2023 Public Sector Predictions’ blog, European government departments and agencies are under pressure to reduce costs, improve efficiency and provide a better citizen experience. Governments need to offer more services at higher quality at a time when it costs more to heat buildings and to employ people to run the services.

Google Cloud Operations is a powerful integrated monitoring, logging, and trace managed service for applications and systems running on Google Cloud and beyond. As part of our partnership with Google, we help extend Cloud Operations with BindPlane OP and OpenTelemetry monitoring for a complete monitoring solution. With BindPlane OP, Google Cloud Operations becomes a single pane of glass for monitoring all aspects of your data center, no matter if it’s on prem or running in the cloud.

Prometheus is the de facto open-source solution for collecting and monitoring metrics data. Its straightforward architecture, operational reliability, minimal upfront cost, and versatility in integrating with cloud-native systems make it the preferred choice for many. Getting started is as simple as configuring the Prometheus server and setting simple parameters such as the scrape intervals and targets, cadence, and setting the job name based on the function of the server.

LM Logs offer intelligent log analysis with querying capabilities for all experience levels to analyze log data. But it’s most effective to know when to investigate deeper and conduct further analysis instead of trying to identify hidden trends in log data manually. The best way to determine what’s relevant now is to see if the amount of log data and message types produced in a device or service have drastically changed.

Telemetry pipelines are a modern approach to monitoring and analyzing systems that collect, process, and analyze data from different sources (like metrics, traces, and logs). They are designed to provide a comprehensive view of the system’s behavior and identify issues quickly. Data transformation is a key aspect of telemetry pipelines, as it allows for the modification and shaping of data in order to make it more useful for monitoring and analysis.
