The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
The latest News and Information on Observabilty for complex systems and related technologies.
The Evolving World of GitOps and Observability
Is GitOps changing observability as we know it? GitOps has been the buzz word in the DevOps space for several years. GitOps, to those that are not familiar, is an operational methodology for DevOps that leverages a continuous deployment approach with Git as the single source of ‘truth’ for declarative control over both infrastructure and applications.
Lightrun for Python is Now Generally Available
After building Lightrun for the JVM – an easier way to get a better grasp on production applications written in Java, Scala, and Kotlin – we’re pleased to announce the release of Lightrun’s developer-native observability platform for Python!
What is Observability?
Rudolf Emil Kalman, born in Hungary, 1930, is regarded as the creator of various fundamental systems concepts. His work on the structural aspects of engineering systems included control theory: the use of mathematics to adjust the output of a given data stream, which included the concept of observability. Observability is the measurement of the internal state of a system purely by examining the outputs.
Quarterly Product Update: Management API, Query Builder, SLOs, and Metrics
Your feedback is what makes Honeycomb better. We ship changes often (you can see updates in real time on our changelog), so it can be easy to miss some of the new improvements that can help you get the most out of Honeycomb. Whether it’s a big new product feature or an enhancement of existing features, you may not always be up on the latest goodness waiting for you in Honeycomb.
Problem Solving and Troubleshooting with LogStream
In this SE Office Hours about Problem Solving & Troubleshooting, we took the most complex & fun use cases and turned them into the Cribl Knowledge Pack to make it easy for customers to set up and configure.
Contextual Intelligence and Observability: Without the Former, You Really Don't Have the Latter
Observability is a hot term in the industry, but don’t let it fool you: having visibility into your organization's apps and services only gives you partial clarity into a system’s overall performance. To get a full understanding of your monitoring data, you need to apply contextual intelligence.
Quick Dictionary to Open<X> Projects in Observability
Do you also find yourself confused by all the Open-this and Open-that names flying around? There are currently a good few Open projects, standards, tools – OpenTelemetry, OpenTracing, OpenCensus, OpenSearch… heck, even my podcast is called OpenObservability! And new Open names seem to be popping up every other day. If you too feel this way, there’s no need. Many feel similarly confused.
Model-driven observability: modern monitoring with Juju
The end-to-end monitoring of complex software systems is difficult, toil-intensive and error-prone. Developers, SREs and Platform teams must continuously invest effort in setting up and maintaining the monitoring setups that underpin the observability of their systems, or accept the risk of being unaware of ongoing issues and their impact on end users. Enter model-driven observability powered by Juju!
Remote Debugging & Device Observability: How Memfault & Diamond Kinetics fix firmware bugs together
With their original products in the market, Diamond Kinetics relied on customer reports with little detail to fix issues in the field. They soon realized that this process of “psychic debugging” sensors in the wild was not enough and even delayed release dates as they tried perfecting each device before shipment. When they decided to launch a new generation of their product in 2020, they knew they needed a more efficient process.
