DataPrime at ingest (DPXL): See the impact of any routing decision

TCO policies have always been one of the most impactful cost levers in Coralogix. Route business-critical data to High, push monitoring data to Medium, archive compliance logs to Low. With the addition of DataPrime expressions (DPXL) – a subset of the DataPrime query language designed for inline filtering at ingest – that routing became even more precise, matching on any field in the event payload, not just application, subsystem, and severity.

How LivePerson optimized Logstash and Kafka performance on GCP through benchmarking

By benchmarking five GCP machine types across both Logstash and Kafka, LivePerson's observability team found that infrastructure selection (not just pipeline configuration) is one of the highest-leverage cost optimization decisions at scale.

Observability Summit NA 2026: What the Community Is Thinking About

Two days in Minneapolis with the OpenTelemetry community, talking about where telemetry pipelines are headed and what the AI wave is doing to them. Two topics dominated everything: AI and cost reduction. Not as separate conversations, either. The more the community talked about AI telemetry, the more the cost question followed right behind it. I joined Diana Todea from VictoriaMetrics and Antonio Jimenez Martinez from Cisco ThousandEyes on the Telemetry That Matters panel.

Splunk Observability at Cisco Live: Agentic Observability for the AI Era

Observability has always been about seeing clearly under pressure. But the pressure has changed. Applications are more distributed. Kubernetes environments keep expanding. Digital experiences depend on services, APIs, networks, third-party providers, and now AI models and agents that can make decisions faster than a human team can review every signal.

Your telemetry, your apps: Inside the Cribl App Platform

You already use Cribl to tame your telemetry data. Now you can turn that data into apps your teams actually want to use. In this video, we walk through the Cribl app platform and show how real apps solve real problems: guided troubleshooting for noisy incidents, opinionated security views, and exec-friendly ROI dashboards. You’ll see how apps sit on top of Cribl Stream, Edge, Search, and Lake, so you reuse the data and logic you already have instead of building custom tools from scratch.

How to Install and Configure an OpenTelemetry Collector

Originally published June 2024. Updated May 2026. A lot has changed since the first version of this guide. In May 2026, OpenTelemetry officially graduated within the CNCF, the highest maturity level a project can achieve. All three core signals (metrics, logs, and traces) are now stable across every major language SDK. Collector adoption has never been higher, and the ecosystem around it, particularly OpAMP for remote management, has matured significantly. This update walks through three things.

Federated Search | From Silos to Insight | Splunk Cloud with Apache Iceberg REST and AWS S3

This walk-through shows how Splunk Cloud can search AWS S3 data through an Apache Iceberg REST catalog backed by Nessie. Learn how Iceberg table metadata, S3 storage, and Splunk Federated Search work together so analysts can query historical security data where it lives without reingesting it into Splunk.
