At Grafana Labs, LGTM has also been a guiding rubric in developing our observability stack.

With native SQL support coming to InfluxDB, we can broaden the scope of developer tools used to analyze and visualize our time series data. One of these tools is Apache Superset. So let’s break down the basics of what Superset is, look at its features and benefits, and run a quick demo of Superset in action.

Logging as a service (LAAS) is a type of cloud computing service that allows organizations to store and manage their log data in a central location. This type of service typically includes features such as centralized storage, real-time analytics, and search capabilities, as well as tools for visualizing and analyzing log data. Logs help you debug and troubleshoot your applications. They are also useful for other purposes like auditing and compliance, performance monitoring, and security.

Outlier Detection is now available as part of the Grafana Machine Learning toolkit in Grafana Cloud for Pro and Advanced users.
