At Nobl9’s annual SLOconf—the first conference dedicated to helping SREs quantify the reliability of their applications through service level objectives (SLOs)—Sumo Logic shared our contribution of slogen to the OpenSLO community, as well as our commitment to OpenSLO as an emerging standard for expressing SLOs as Code. slogen is an open source, SLO-as-code CLI tool based on the OpenSLO specification.

vmagent supports both the pushing and pulling (scrape) of metrics and here are examples of high availability setups for both cases.

Properly leveraging telemetry is a true game-changer for any IT department looking to optimize and stabilize its systems. Telemetry provides the first step to answering the all-important question, “What’s happening in my network?” It’s your eye into the inner workings of your system, giving you a view into how different components are performing.

Introducing SL1 Eiffel. Designed to expand your ability to see, contextualize, and act in order to accelerate your journey to AIOps.

Time and resource consumption have become the driving forces of developing modern applications. While building cloud-native applications, it’s important to ensure that you have the most optimized code in place, and oftentimes that means leveraging concurrency. While writing concurrent code may sound overwhelming at first, Golang makes it extremely easy to get a handle on.

The book is done. The book is FINISHED. There will be no more writing of the book! Holy macaroni. If you think you might be sensing just a SMIDGE of relief, you wouldn’t be wrong. We started writing this book, Observability Engineering: Achieving Production Excellence, three whole years ago, in the summer of 2019. Remember that?

OpenTelemetry is a set of APIs, SDKs, tooling, and integrations that are designed for the creation and management of telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs. One of the main components of OpenTelemetry, or OTel for short, is the OpenTelemetry Collector. The OpenTelemetry Collector, or Otel Collector, is a vendor-agnostic proxy that can receive, process, and export telemetry data.

The last few years have thrown about everything they could at the status quo. Shifting climates, political instability, and a global pandemic have all contributed to a broad host of network device supply chain issues. Consumers all over the globe are still affected by computer chip shortages and many other items delayed by supply chain issues. And it’s not expected to end anytime soon.

According to Insight Partners, the AIOps platform market size is expected to grow from $2.83 billion in 2021 to $19.92 billion by 2028 at a compounded annual growth rate of 32.2%. This skyrocketing growth is fueled by the pace of the IT data deluge getting out of the human hand and the need for resource optimization. Every organization is increasingly producing more IT data, whether in a siloed or unified form.

OpenTelemetry can be used to instrument your Elixir applications to generate telemetry data. The telemetry data can then be visualized using an observability tool to monitor your Elixir application performance. In this tutorial, we will use OpenTelemetry Elixir libraries to instrument an Elixir application and then visualize it using SigNoz. Somewhere during the lifetime of an application, it's inevitable that it will have some performance issues.
