From production monitoring to security concerns, businesses need to analyze and review their logs on a daily basis to make sure their system is up to par. Here are the reasons why analyzing your log data is so important. If you landed here, chances are you probably know what logs are, but we’ll start off with a short explanation of what it is.
Since the beginning of the Internet, the speed of delivering content has been an issue. While processor enhancements, network acceleration, and web frameworks have brought drastic improvements to performance, the goalposts have continued to shift further away; devices operate on wireless connections with limited bandwidth, and the Internet is accessed from every corner of the globe.
While 2020 and 2021 were significant years for us, we’ve entered this year ready to give more to our users! We’re delighted to share we have raised $142 million in a Series D funding round! So what does that mean for you exactly? Over the past few months, our team has been working hard to build custom mapping for metrics, an advanced tracing UI, and more into our platform. The world is our oyster, and we can’t wait for you to see what else we have planned!
Our team has been working hard on building exciting new features like our DataMap, advanced Tracing UI, and more that will give you even greater power to monitor and visualize your data. Get caught up on everything that’s new and improved in the Coralogix platform!
Since its emergence in the mid-2000s, the cloud computing market has evolved significantly. The benefits of reliability, scalability, and reduced set-up costs have created a demand to fuel an ever-growing range of “as-a-service” offerings, resulting in an option to suit most requirements. But despite the advantages, the question of cloud or on-premise remains valid.
Efficient use of observability statistics is essential to any microservice architecture. OpenTelemetry is a project supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to enhance the observability of microservice projects. AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) is an AWS-supported distribution of the OpenTelemetry project specifically designed to improve the observability of AWS projects.
You probably have heard of logging agents, such as Logstash or Fluent Bit, if you’ve been investigating log analysis, monitoring, and observability. If so, and you’re wondering what logging agents are and why you might need them, you’ve come to the right place. This article will look at what logging agents are for, their advantages, and what you can use instead of a logging agent.
AWS OpenSearch is a project based on Elastic’s Elasticsearch and Kibana projects. Amazon created OpenSearch from the last open-source version of ElasticSearch (7.10) and is part of the AWS system. The key differences between the two are topics for another discussion, but the most significant point to note before running either distribution is the difference in licenses. ElasticSearch now runs under a dual-license model, and OpenSearch remains open-source.
Kubernetes, a Greek word meaning pilot, has found its way into the center stage of modern software engineering. Its in-built observability, monitoring, metrics, and self-healing make it an outstanding toolset out of the box, but its core offering has a glaring problem. The Kubernetes logging challenge is its ephemeral resources disappearing into the ether, and without some 2005-style SSHing into the correct server to find the rolled over log files, you’ll never see the log data again.
Monitoring is a fundamental pillar of modern software development. With the advent of modern software architectures like microservices, the demand for high-performance monitoring and alerting shifted from useful to mandatory. Combine this with an average outage cost of $5,600 per minute, and you’ve got a compelling case for investing in your monitoring capability.
