Logs are automatically-generated records of events that take place within a cloud-based application, network, or infrastructure service. These records are stored in log files, creating an audit trail of system events that can be analyzed for a variety of purposes, including: Enterprise organizations use log analytics software to aggregate, transform, and analyze data from log files, developing insights that drive business decisions and operational excellence.

As promised in part 1, I’m back with a short blog about our five key technology predictions for the UK public sector this year.

Istio is an open source service mesh that can be used by developers and operators to successfully control, secure, and connect services together in the world of distributed microservices. While Istio is a powerful tool for teams, it's also important for administrators to have full visibility into its health. In this blog post, we'll take a look at monitoring Istio and its microservices with Elastic Observability. As the Istio docs mention.

Here at Pandora FMS we love news. If it were up to us we would wear new dresses and stilettos every week, we would open headquarters in an unknown tropical country and we would change styles, to other more daring and exotic, in our cocktail parties. Just to make our love for the avant-garde clear once and for all.

Today I will show you a couple of small functions you can use with the Icinga Console. Using the Icinga Console can help with scripting in general and provides a quick and easy-to-use way of extracting information from your Icinga environment. We will take a look at extracting information belonging to the service objects in Icinga. Obviously, you can pinpoint different objects, like host objects, with which you can work via the Icinga 2 API and Console.

At LogicMonitor, we deal primarily with large quantities of time series data. Our backend infrastructure processes billions of metrics, events, and configurations daily. In previous blogs, we discussed our transition from monolith to microservice. We also explained why we chose Quarkus as our microservices framework for our Java-based microservices. In this blog we will cover.

The IT network stays at the foundation of all the operations and data transfers within your business. Unreliable network or problems with the network performance may have a severe impact on your business. Running a business requires a robust and secure network, that managed effectively to meet all the necessary performance and security goals. The standard network monitoring is not enough in the digital transformation era.

Documentation is a roadmap. It gives us the safest route to reliable, performant code. And just as maps are updated to reflect changing infrastructure, we update our documentation to give you the best way to purposefully use Sentry. In our latest edition of Dogfooding Chronicles, we use Discover to root out the bane of all companies everywhere: the 404 page.

OpenTelemetry is a CNCF project that standardizes observability (logs, metrics, and traces) across many languages and tools. Today we will look at how we can use the OpenTelemetry .NET library to instrument a .NET 5.0 web API, to offload traces to Tempo and logs to Loki in Grafana Cloud. Grafana Cloud now has a free plan.
