Gain insights into Kubernetes errors with Elastic Observability logs and OpenAI

As we’ve shown in previous blogs, Elastic® provides a way to ingest and manage telemetry from the Kubernetes cluster and the application running on it. Elastic provides out-of-the-box dashboards to help with tracking metrics, log management and analytics, APM functionality (which also supports native OpenTelemetry), and the ability to analyze everything with AIOps features and machine learning (ML).

Challenges of observing Kubernetes: Understanding a complex and dynamic system

As technology evolves in the enterprise, oftentimes the processes and tools used to manage it must also evolve. The increased adoption of Kubernetes has become a major inflection point for those of us in the monitoring and management side of the IT operations world. What has worked for decades (traditional infrastructure monitoring) has to be adjusted to the complexity and ephemeral nature of modern distributed systems where Kubernetes has a prime role.

Trace your Azure Function application with Elastic Observability

Adoption of Azure Functions in cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure has been increasing exponentially over the last few years. Serverless functions, such as the Azure Functions, provide a high level of abstraction from the underlying infrastructure and orchestration, given these tasks are managed by the cloud provider. Software development teams can then focus on the implementation of business and application logic.

The impact of NWDAF on telco service providers: Embracing vendor agnostic data analytics

Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) is a key component in 5G networks, designed to collect, analyze, and deliver valuable insights to service providers. NWDAF provides an unbiased, vendor-vendor agnostic view of the network, expanding telco visibility beyond traditional use cases. As network complexities grow, service providers require unbiased and accurate data to make informed decisions, driving the demand for vendor agnostic data analytics.

The Met Office gains valuable data insights to make informed decisions with Elastic

The Met Office, the UK's national weather service, is tasked with predicting the unpredictable - the ever-changing weather patterns that can have a huge impact on people's lives. Having been in the business for over 150 years, they require a reliable and powerful monitoring and insights capability to ensure their systems and processes run optimally.

Using AIOps effectively with Elastic Observability

Over the past several years, one topic that has become of increasing importance for DevOps and site reliability engineering (SRE) teams is AIOps. Artificial intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) is the application of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and analytics to improve the day-to-day operational work for IT operations teams.

How to use Elasticsearch and Time Series Data Streams for observability metrics

Elasticsearch is used for a wide variety of data types — one of these is metrics. With the introduction of Metricbeat many years ago and later our APM Agents, the metric use case has become more popular. Over the years, Elasticsearch has made many improvements on how to handle things like metrics aggregations and sparse documents. At the same time, TSVB visualizations were introduced to make visualizing metrics easier.

RCA Series: Root Cause Analysis in Observability with Elastic AIOps (2/4)

Root cause analysis empowers you to prevent issues from recurring that were revealed by your monitoring IT systems and online applications including eCommerce sites. See Elastic engineers walk you through applying four AIOps capabilities and accelerate MTTR by automatically categorizing logs, explaining log rate spikes, visually inspecting anomalous components in their context, and correlating slow or failed transactions with potential root causes.
