The latest News and Information on Log Management, Log Analytics and related technologies.
Last week, I attended the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference (IOCS). Gartner IOCS is my favorite conference every year because of the quality and level of the presentations. Gartner analysts deliver most sessions and put a lot of effort into the presentations and supporting research. I’d like to highlight two sessions that I found to be very informative.
Monitoring distributed systems means collecting data from various sources, including servers, containers, and applications. In large organizations, this data distribution makes it harder to get a single view of the performance of their entire system. OpenTelemetry helps you streamline your full-stack observability efforts by giving you a single, universal format for collecting and sending telemetry data. Thus, OpenTelemetry makes improving performance and troubleshooting issues easier for teams.
We're excited to announce AppSignal support for Vector logs and metrics! AppSignal's Vector support allows you to expand your monitoring horizons beyond our standard language integrations, making it possible to leverage AppSignal to both monitor the performance and manage the logs of components of your stack that fall outside a standard application. With Vector, you can use AppSignal to monitor how your databases and Kubernetes clusters perform and metrics from many other sources.
As we continue to navigate the ongoing evolution of the observability landscape, Logz.io is constantly striving to provide our customers with the advanced platform capabilities needed to make sense of their increasingly complex environments. Sometimes that means taking a new approach to long-standing practices.
