For centuries there have been many wise sayings on how to deal with disruptions and prevail amidst uncertain circumstances. Read on to learn how Splunk and Bosch Rexroth are building the next-generation factory to help manufacturers elevate their resilience and take advantage of new market trends and operating models.

In the previous blog, we introduced what makes a bad alert and how being able to simply customise and fine-tune your detectors is critical to creating great alerts. The first category of detectors in Splunk Observability Cloud that we dived into was the out-of-the-box offering called AutoDetect. Customising and subscribing to these detectors is a great way to get up and running straight away with industry best-practice alerts and bring down MTTx.

Elastic Observability is fast, simple, and built for the future Businesses everywhere are facing a challenging environment: increased cost pressures coupled with high volumes of data generated by complex, distributed, cloud-native environments. As a result, teams need smarter analytics, access, and retention across all their data — instantly and from anywhere — to resolve issues, make decisions, and ensure resiliency.

Elasticsearch, or the ELK stack, is a popular log analytics solution. The Loki project was started at Grafana Labs in 2018. Grafana leads the development of Loki, while Elastic is the company behind Elasticsearch. In this article, we will do a detailed comparison between these two tools for log analytics. Log data helps application owners debug their applications while also playing a critical role in cyber security.

At Logz.io, we recently announced the release of App 360, a new solution that aims to shift the paradigm around application performance monitoring (APM) systems. To better give our customers a look at the new solution within the Logz.io Open 360™ platform for essential observability, we recently hosted a webinar explaining App 360 in greater depth and provided a detailed product demonstration. Let’s take a closer look at the key highlights and insights we shared during the webinar.

We are thrilled to be recognized with the 2024 EMA Allstars award. This award acknowledges Elastic’s focus on delivering a full-stack observability solution that provides unified visibility and AI-powered insights into complex hybrid cloud deployments. The EMA Allstars award celebrates trailblazers and innovators who are reshaping the enterprise technology landscape.

Effectively managing both public and private Splunk Apps across multiple Splunk environments poses a considerable challenge, demanding significant time and effort with the potential for tedious and manual tasks. Recognizing this complexity, the Splunk Cloud Service has been progressively introducing additional features and capabilities to streamline and simplify these intricate administrative responsibilities.

As businesses grapple with increasing data volumes, the need for practical tools to manage and use this data has never been greater. High-quality tools are great — but imagine what you could accomplish with one that made all the others in your toolbox even better? That’s exactly how we design every Cribl solution — we exist to help IT and Security teams get more out of their existing infrastructure.

We’ve all been guilty of it. Creating rules and filters to hide those alerts that, for the most part, are just noise. Only then to have notifications about a legitimate issue also get swept up by those same filters. There’s only so many times we can break concentration and disrupt productivity before getting fed up with false positives and ignoring everything completely.
