Machine learning in the Elastic Stack provides you with an intuitive way to detect anomalies in vast data sets. But even the most sophisticated anomaly detection job might not reveal the root cause of anomalous behavior. After an anomaly is detected, you may need to dive into further analysis, review multiple corresponding metrics, and investigate how they relate to the anomalous spike.
With the introduction of the Package Activity API and accompanying CLI command, you can now quickly and easily check your entire repository for packages' activity status or even take a detailed approach and view packages individually (per day/per package).

Assessing the return on investment (ROI) for all of the tools you use in your IT department is an essential step for improved efficiency and adoption of applications.
Last week, Catchpoint was one of the sponsors of Splunk’s half-day DevOps & Observability Best Practices event. It was a jampacked conference that examined what observability is, its key drivers, and how observability and monitoring exist “like two peas in a pod”, perfect compliments to one another in enabling enterprise to better understand overall systems behavior and health.
