Choosing an Observability Pipeline

An observability pipeline is a tool or process that centralizes data ingestion, transformation, correlation, and routing across a business. Production engineers across ITOps, Development, and Security teams use them to more efficiently and cost-effectively transform their telemetry data to drive critical decisions. Businesses of all sizes can enjoy several benefits and gain a significant competitive advantage by implementing an observability pipeline.

How to use Cribl Stream and ChaosSearch for Next-Gen Observability

The market for enterprise observability solutions is growing in 2022, as organizations search for more effective ways to maintain security and oversight of increasingly complex and distributed IT systems. Traditional observability solutions like Splunk, Datadog and New Relic are still widely used by enterprises to analyze logs, metrics, and traces from their IT environments. But as enterprises generate increasing volumes of log data, two things tend to happen.

What is Logging as a Service (LaaS)?

Logging as a Service, or LaaS, is a proven approach to managing and monitoring high-volume log data in modern dynamic environments. LaaS allows companies to manage log data regardless of whether it comes from applications, servers, or devices. With LaaS, companies can more easily aggregate and collate data, scale and manage storage requirements, set up notifications and alerts, and analyze data and trends. It also allows teams to customize dashboards, reports, and visualizations.
