Harnessing an observability solution to gain valuable insights into business operations

In my previous articles, I discussed how to design considerations for observability solutions and how observability can augment your security implementation. In this article, I will discuss how an observability solution can provide valuable insights into your business operations through the collected data from various systems, applications, and services.

AI-Augmented Software Engineering

While Artificial intelligence (AI) has invaded many industries, the IT industry is reaping the benefits of AI in software engineering practices. The traditional method of relying solely on human coders throughout the entire development lifecycle is gradually becoming obsolete. Instead, AI-augmented software engineering has come into the arena to make the software engineering process faster, easier, and more reliable.

Streamlining Data Management for Enterprise Security | SpyCloud

In this customer story, Ryan Sanders, lead security engineer at SpyCloud, shares his experience using Cribl to centralize and store data for account takeover protection and online fraud prevention. Ryan discusses the challenges he faced in managing data across multiple platforms and the solutions Cribl provided. Cribl acts as the Swiss Army knife for observability engineers, empowering them to collect data from various sources and perform custom integrations.

Configuration Management in BindPlane OP

Managing configuration changes within BindPlane OP is a straightforward process when using the newly introduced Rollouts features to deploy your changes. Rollouts provides a user-friendly platform for tweaking configurations, staging modifications, and implementing them across your agent fleet only when you’re satisfied with the changes.

Smart Monitoring and Predictive Analytics for Operations (OT) and Manufacturing

With digitization adopted in many industries, real-time data from manufacturing and operational equipment can be used to monitor and optimize operation - by applying data-driven modeling including machine learning. In this video you learn how you can automatically monitor equipment and connected devices, and apply predictive modeling to optimize operations (OT). With this approach, manufacturers and grid operators reduce downtime and save maintenance cost by scheduling equipment maintenance just when needed, connected consumer and wearable medical devices are monitored remotely, and transportation providers optimize operation of their fleets.

VictoriaMetrics bolsters move from monitoring to observability with VictoriaLogs release

Today we’re happy to announce our new open source, scalable logging solution, VictoriaLogs, which helps users and enterprises expand their current monitoring of applications into a more strategic ‘state of all systems’ enterprise-wide observability. Many existing logging solutions on the market today offer IT professionals a limited window into live operations of databases and clusters.

A User Guide for OpenSearch Dashboards

Over the last decade, log management has been largely dominated by the ELK Stack – a once-open source tool set that collects, processes, stores and analyzes log data. The ‘k’ in the ELK Stack represents Kibana, which is the component engineers use to query and visualize their log data stored in Elasticsearch. Sadly, in January 2021, Elastic decided to close source the ELK Stack, and as a result, OpenSearch was launched by AWS as an open source replacement.
