OpenTelemetry Observability: An In-Depth Look at Features and Best Practices

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is a unified framework of APIs, SDKs and tools, for collecting, processing, and exporting telemetry data (logs, metrics, and traces) across applications and infrastructure. OTel is especially required in today’s cloud-native world, where applications run on microservices, Kubernetes, and distributed systems.

Your Next Observability RFP Is All Wrong: Why AI Changes Everything

Watch how AI is reshaping observability for the years ahead. In this fireside chat, Logz.io founders Tomer Levy and Asaf Yigal reveal how the most innovative AI-first companies are breaking free from dashboards, avoiding common RFP mistakes, and building future-ready stacks. You’ll see: Watch and learn how autonomous AI eliminates noise, slashes costs, and gives engineering teams back their velocity.

Cribl.Cloud Government Is a New Era of Secure Cloud Telemetry for Federal Agencies

As a Co-founder and CPO at Cribl, I'm genuinely stoked that our new federal suite, Cribl.Cloud Government, has achieved an “In Process” designation under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). This isn’t any old milestone. We’re bringing all of Cribl’s kickass capabilities to government agencies, even those that require the strictest compliance and security standards. Because, who doesn’t love a good set of rules?

Cribl.Cloud Goes to Washington: Cribl.Cloud Government FedRAMP Authority to Operate Milestone

Way back in 2009, when I was serving as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, I worked in a network operations center for a deployed Army unit. Our mission was to provide network connectivity across central and northern Iraq. Our observability tools were incredibly limited. We had a network map that would turn nodes and network links red, yellow, and green when they were up or down. We had to write down in a physical logbook any status changes and what we did about them.

BYOS with Cribl Lake: Data ownership meets flexibility

Today, more than ever, organizations face a difficult balancing act: how to keep sensitive data fully under their control while still making it accessible and usable so teams can unlock the value and insights they need. Industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government agencies often must comply with strict regulations that require data to remain in environments they directly own and manage.

What does the EU Data Act mean for Observability?

The EU Data Act came into effect on January 12th, 2024 and most of its provisions apply from September 12th, 2025. The EU Data Act is designed to give individuals and businesses more control over the data they generate, ensuring fair access, use, and sharing across sectors. For any data generating platform that intends to operate in the European Union, this new legislation matters.

Logstash Alternative: Why Security Teams Are Choosing Modern Data Pipelines

Logstash has been a workhorse in data processing pipelines for years, but it was not designed with today’s security operations in mind. Security teams now deal with massive telemetry volumes, rising SIEM costs, and diverse log formats that require constant normalization. In this environment, Logstash shows its age: manual configuration, outdated parsing, and scalability bottlenecks introduce fragility instead of efficiency.

Bridging the Gap Integrating Logs Metrics and Flow for Observability

In this video, we discuss handling both old and new systems in IT environments. From legacy SNMP setups to modern telemetry, most organizations juggle multiple data sources, which can make observability feel overwhelming. We explore how to combine logs, metrics, and flow data into one system that provides actionable insights. You’ll see practical examples of simplifying scattered tools and making sense of complex, disparate information. Understanding how these different types of data work together is key to getting observability right.
