Simplifying Data Lake Management with an Observability Pipeline

Data Lakes can be difficult and costly to manage. They require skilled engineers to manage the infrastructure, keep data flowing, eliminate redundancy, and secure the data. We accept the difficulties because our data lakes house valuable information like logs, metrics, traces, etc. To add insult to injury, the data lake can be a black hole, where your data goes in but never comes out. If you are thinking there has to be a better way, we agree!

Telegraf Deployment Strategies with Docker Compose

This article, written by Shan Desai, was originally published on his blog and is reposted here with permission. Shan is a Software engineer currently employed at Emerson Discrete Automation and is an Open-Source Contributor / DIY Tech Enthusiast currently working with Industrial IoT. Telegraf is widely used as a metric aggregation tool thanks to the diverse number of plugins it provides that interface with a multitude of systems without having to write complex software logic.

A Complete Guide to Tracking CDN Logs

The Content Delivery Network (CDN) market is projected to grow from 17.70 billion USD to 81.86 billion USD by 2026, according to a recent study. As more businesses adopt CDNs for their content distribution, CDN log tracking is becoming essential to achieve full-stack observability. That being said, the widespread distribution of the CDN servers can also make it challenging when you want visibility into your visitors’ behavior, optimize performance, and identify distribution issues.

Parsing logs with the OpenTelemetry Collector

This guide is for anyone who is getting started monitoring their application with OpenTelemetry, and is generating unstructured logs. As is well understood at this point, structured logs are ideal for post-hoc incident analysis and broad-range querying of your data. However, it’s not always feasible to implement highly structured logging at the code level.
