Universal Profiling: Detecting CO2 and energy efficiency

A while ago, we posted a blog that detailed how we imported over 4 billion chess games with speed using Python and optimized the code leveraging our Universal ProfilingTM. This was based on Elastic Stack running on version 8.9. We are now on 8.12, and it is time to do a second part that shows how easy it is to observe compiled languages and how Elastic®’s Universal Profiling can help you determine the benefit of a rewrite, both from a cost and environmental friendliness angle.

What is the Benefit of Including Security with Your Observability Strategy?

Observability strategies are needed to ensure stable and performant applications, especially when complex distributed environments back them. Large volumes of observability data are collected to support automatic insights into these areas of applications. Logs, metrics, and traces are the three pillars of observability that feed these insights. Security data is often isolated instead of combined with data collected by existing observability tools.

6 Benefits of an AI-Powered Observability Pipeline

Observability Pipelines have become vital tools for DevOps and Security teams to manage, control, store, route, and optimize telemetry data analyzed by Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Application Performance Monitoring (APM), and Log management platforms. These teams spend hours every week trying to fit an increasingly large volume of data into the same size box.

A Beginner's Guide to Structured Logging

Structured logging is a methodical approach to log management in software development, often utilizing JSON or key-value pairs. This method enhances the comprehensibility and analytical efficiency of log data, particularly in complex and distributed system environments. Unlike unstructured logs, which lack a defined format, structured logs adhere to a standardized layout, facilitating streamlined analysis and troubleshooting.

Let's Put on a Show With Cribl's Search Sandbox!

Remember when you were a kid and your school put on a production of the latest grade school drama? Maybe you didn’t get the lead role, but it was fun to put on (or watch) the show. Search Sandboxes are just like that! Except you get to be the stage manager when searching data. And Search Sandboxes offer you everything you need to make it an all-star performance.

Micro Lesson: A Log's Journey

Meet Rick Jury, Senior Technical Account Manager at Sumo Logic. In this video, Rick talks about the ingestion pipeline and the journey that a log message takes from collection into the Sumo platform, and considerations for administrators around the ingestion pipeline. You will be excited to see how this translates into a search, turning a raw event into a schema and then into actual insights.
