The Reliability industry needs a managed, non-vendor lock-in answer to spiraling costs, high cardinality and the toil of managing a tsdb.

We recently introduced the LogicMonitor Exporter which is now a part of OpenTelelemetry Collector Contrib distro. This allows you to bring your collector for streaming telemetry data from your environment to LM Envision, LogicMonitor’s hybrid and multi-cloud monitoring platform. LogicMonitor associates the exported logs and traces from a single OpenTelemetry collector to simplify your application’s operations and troubleshoot issues.

At KubeCon Europe, it was announced that Elastic Common Schema (ECS) has been accepted by OpenTelemetry (OTel) as a contribution to the project. The goal is to achieve convergence of ECS and OpenTelemetry’s Semantic Conventions (SemConv) into a single open schema that is maintained by OpenTelemetry. This FAQ details Elastic’s contribution of Elastic Common Schema to OpenTelemetry, how it will help drive the industry to a common schema, and its impact on observability and security.

At Lightstep, we’ve seen many organizations grapple with “cloud-native sticker shock” as they come to understand that these complex systems require sifting through massive amounts of data across architectures and proprietary solutions. In today’s macroeconomic environment, organizations are looking to reduce costs while driving innovation, especially when it comes to cloud-native applications.

In this article, learn how to setup application monitoring for Node.js apps with our open-source solution, SigNoz. Node.js tops the list of most widely used frameworks by developers. Powered by Google's V8 javascript engine, its performance is incredible. Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node.js, wanted to create real-time websites with push capability. On Nov 8, 2009, Node.js was first demonstrated by Dahl at the inaugural European JSconf.

While many of the popular tools for observability in software are open source, one thing they lack is open design. Most of these solutions, from Nagios to Prometheus, started as a product with an opinionated design, which happened to work well for many people. These became the de facto standards. That position of de facto standard is what every open-source project and every commercial product tries to be.

Yes, yes, it’s true: Splunk is not open source — and that’s for good reason. We do support a lot of open-source efforts, as you’ll see below. I’ll also point you to areas to try out Splunk for free and look at common reasons organization opt for open source.

The official CircleCI extension for Visual Studio Code is now available for anyone to download on the VS Code Marketplace. This extension was developed by the Developer Experience team of CircleCI and it includes two sets of features: the pipeline manager and the config helper. The config helper provides language support for CircleCI YAML files.

Canonical is committed to enabling Ubuntu users to leverage the strong run-time confidentiality and integrity guarantees that confidential computing provides. That is why we are happy to announce we have joined the confidential computing consortium, a project community at the Linux Foundation that is focused on accelerating the adoption of confidential computing and driving cross-industry collaboration around relevant open source software, standards and tools.

The open source community talks a lot about the problem of aligning incentives. If you’re not familiar with the discourse, most of this conversation so far has centered around the most classic model of open source: the solo unpaid developer who maintains a tiny but essential library that’s holding up half the internet. For example, Denis Pushkarev, the solo maintainer of popular JavaScript library core-js, announced that he can’t continue if not better compensated.
