Technology environments are rapidly evolving as organizations look to remain competitive, accelerate innovation and make themselves more agile. But in the process, many of the observers, i.e., stakeholders who track infrastructure and application metrics, are falling behind, unable to monitor and manage modern, cloud-native apps and multi-cloud environments due to the complexity that comes with them.

In this episode of the Stream Life Podcast, Nick Heudecker and Ed Bailey look at SaaS security platforms and managed security providers and how they’ve grown over time. They look at the benefits the model brings to organizations, how it is growing across the world, the challenges it can also bring, and the questions you should be asking your vendors.

Logz.io has dedicated itself to encouraging and supporting cloud-native development.

Recently, our team added dozens of new integrations for metrics covering the gamut of products in the GCP ecosystem.

Like many cool tools out there, this project started from a request made by a customer of ours. Having recently migrated to our service, this customer had ~30TB of historical logging data. This is a considerable amount of operational data to leave behind when moving from one SaaS platform to another.

Cribl released LogStream Cloud to the world in the Spring of 2021, making it easier than ever to stand up a functional o11y pipeline. The service is free for up to 1TB per day and can be upgraded to unlock all the features and support with paid plans starting at $0.17 per GB so you pay for only exactly what you use. In this blog post, we’ll go over how to quickly get data flowing into LogStream Cloud from a few common log sources.

For years customers have leveraged the power of Splunk configuration files to customize their environments with flexibility and precision. And for years, we’ve enabled admins to customize things like system settings, deployment configurations, knowledge objects and saved searches to their hearts’ content.
