Splunk Edge Hub device is a multi-component solution that includes a hardware device coupled with the Splunk platform and solutions that our partners build on top of both. It is a powerful tool that can help collect, distribute and act on data from edge devices and sensors, making it easier to capture and act on data that can be difficult to access physically or digitally.

In this livestream, I talked to Ryan Saunders – Manager of Security Operations at SpyCloud, about how he used the Cribl Reference Architecture to build a scalable deployment. He explained how this approach enabled SpyCloud to grow alongside its evolving needs without requiring significant rework. The reference architecture also facilitated a repeatable data-onboarding process, reducing administrative time and allowing the team to focus on critical security and data analysis tasks.

Today, it’s perfectly normal for businesses to continuously monitor software applications and IT infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted customer service. Active and passive monitoring are the two popular methods enterprises use for infrastructure and application performance monitoring (APM). As the names indicate, these two approaches to monitoring are very different.

Unlocking the full potential of observability and tracing in modern software ecosystems has become imperative for businesses striving to deliver improved reliability and user experience. In this comprehensive roundup, we will dive into the world of Jaeger-incorporated observability and tracing dashboards, offering a curated selection of the best use cases that empower DevOps teams, engineers, and developers to gain unparalleled insights into the inner workings of their applications.

In an era where cybersecurity threats are not just frequent but increasingly sophisticated (and becoming more costly), the need for robust defense mechanisms has never been more critical. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) emerges as a cornerstone in this complex data environment. It’s not just another tool in your cybersecurity toolkit; it’s a solution designed to elevate your organization’s security posture.

The Splunk Add-on for OpenTelemetry Collector is a variation of the Splunk Distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector that simplifies metrics and traces data collection, configuration and management. Since it is an add-on, users can deploy it alongside Universal Forwarders using tools like Deployment Server to start collecting high-fidelity metrics and traces from 1000s of their hosts easily. We’re happy to announce that the Add-On is now generally available in Splunkbase.

Technical teams use various metrics and indicators to track performance and success. For DevOps teams, among the most important metrics is deployment frequency. Deployment frequency can help you evaluate the software delivery performance of teams that develop software and apps. In this article, I’ll look at using this metric to calculate deployment rate, the importance and best practices for improving your deployment rate and setting your DevOps team up for success.
