Mobile devices have changed our world. They come with us everywhere and provide invaluable services. One nagging problem is how to get data out of your mobile device. Specifically, logging metrics and events can be a trial. Opening up a public-facing port, managing the log receivers, coding… Wouldn’t it be nice if this was simplified? This article will demonstrate how easy delivering logs can be using Cribl.Cloud and simple HTTP POSTs – for free.

Time series analysis is the study of a sequence of data points and records that are collected over a constant period. The analysis indicates how a variable or a group of variables has changed and helps in discovering underlying trends and patterns.

However, choosing the right APM solution for your product is complex. If you select the incorrect tool, you may discard it because it will not enable you to meet your observability objectives.

The Go standard library has fantastic support for making HTTP requests. However, sometimes, a request needs to be modified or an action needs to be taken upon response (eg. logging a response).
