You’re looking at an error in Sentry—a failed payment in your Flask backend or an unexpected null in your Node API. You’ve got the stack trace. The request details. Even the full trace. What you don’t have: the logs your app emitted right before everything went sideways. With Sentry Logs (now in open beta), you can send application logs straight to Sentry and see them automatically connected to the errors and traces you already use.

When security data volumes double every two to three years but budgets stay mostly flat, achieving a fast return on investment is the only way most security organizations can get new technologies approved. Teams can’t afford to wait months to see results—they need solutions that pay off starting on the first day of the proof-of-value period. AI-powered data pipelines make that possible.

Effective microservices logging requires standardized formats, centralized storage, correlation IDs, and strong security measures. This guide walks you through setup strategies, best practices, and tool recommendations that won't break your budget.

When was the last time you asked about the architecture behind your observability provider? For most IT professionals whether in development, operations, or security, it’s not a question that naturally comes up. Yet, this architectural detail could be the difference between insight at scale and runaway costs. People are drawn to the features, the shiny things. They promise to unlock insight, drive faster response times, and tighten security.

At Mezmo, we’ve always believed that observability should empower innovation, not hold it back with complexity and unpredictable costs. However, as organizations scale and data volumes continue to explode, the old ways of managing telemetry data aren’t sustainable.

Starting from scratch with synthetic testing of your web properties and APIs can be difficult. Questions like “what should we be testing?” will very quickly become exercises in figuring out “how can we actually do that?” which may involve sifting through various elements of the DOM or JSON responses. But there are shortcuts to synthetic testing mastery!

Security logs are the quiet sentinels of your Linux systems, recording critical information that can mean the difference between detecting an intrusion and discovering a breach months too late. For most DevOps professionals and system administrators, these logs contain valuable insights that often go untapped. While they're essential for compliance, their real value lies in providing visibility into your system's security posture and operational health.
