Lakehouse Demo

Cribl Lakehouse is the first lakehouse built for the unpredictable nature of telemetry data. Unlike traditional solutions for structured data, it eliminates schema complexity and manual transformation while delivering elastic scalability, automated, ​​cost-optimized tiered storage, and federated queries across diverse datasets. IT and security teams can effortlessly store and analyze massive volumes of evolving telemetry data in real time—without data engineering expertise—unlocking the full value of their data with a unified, management experience.

The One Where We Meet Cribl Copilot

We’re kicking off our new live weekly product demo series—streaming on YouTube, X, and LinkedIn! Each week, we’ll dive into the latest features and hidden gems from the Cribl Suite of tools to help you unlock the full potential of your telemetry data. For our first session, we’re thrilled to welcome Nikhil Mungel, the visionary behind Cribl Copilot. This AI-powered assistant is designed to: Instantly surface answers from the documentation Build pipelines with just a simple request.

How to Build Observability into Chaos Engineering

If you've ever deployed a distributed system at scale, you know things break—often in ways you never expected. That’s where Chaos Engineering comes in. But running chaos experiments without robust observability is like debugging blindfolded. This guide will walk you through how observability empowers Chaos Engineering, ensuring that your experiments yield meaningful insights instead of just causing chaos for chaos’ sake.

OpenTelemetry Is Not "Three Pillars"

OpenTelemetry is a big, big project. It’s so big, in fact, that it can be hard to know what part you’re talking about when you’re talking about it! One particular critique I’ve seen going around recently, though, is about how OpenTelemetry is just ‘three pillars’ all over again. Reader, this could not be further from the truth, and I want to spend some time on why.

Optimizing Observability Data Volume and Cost with AI

Struggling with high observability costs? In this video, Jade Lassery breaks down the challenges of managing excessive data and skyrocketing expenses. She introduces the Logz.io AI agent, a powerful solution designed to optimize data usage, reduce unnecessary costs, and improve efficiency. Learn how to take control of your observability spending while maintaining high performance. Watch now to discover smarter data management strategies!

Increase control and reduce noise in your AWS logs using Datadog Observability Pipelines

Today’s SRE and security operations center (SOC) teams often find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume and variety of logs generated by critical AWS services such as VPC Flow Logs, AWS WAF, and Amazon CloudFront. While these logs can be valuable for detecting and investigating security threats, as well as troubleshooting issues in your environment, managing them at scale can be challenging and costly.

Enhance Network Performance Management With Next-Gen AIOps: Configuring Integration of DX Spectrum With DX Operational Observability

To unlock the power of observability and advanced analytics of AIOps, teams need to collect exceptional monitoring data, establish connections and correlations between the data, and understand context with the help of robust and current topological maps. Because modern networks often span on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures, monitoring their performance and troubleshooting issues can be difficult. These complex infrastructures often lead to observability gaps for network teams.

KubeCon 2024 | Interviews with Observability Experts | Observability Insights with Aunsh Chaudhari

In this interview from KubeCon 2024, I sit down with Aunsh Chaudhari, a Product Manager at Splunk, to discuss the biggest trends shaping observability today. With a background in software development and hands-on experience with observability tools, Aunsh shares insights on OpenTelemetry adoption, cost optimization strategies, and the shift toward unified observability. We also touch on emerging topics like AI in observability and the challenges of scaling observability in modern environments.

OpenTelemetry: The Future of Observability with Advanced Tracing and Metrics

Hey there! Oscar here. After spending countless hours wrestling with various monitoring tools and proprietary solutions, I wanted to share my thoughts on what I believe is revolutionizing the observability landscape: OpenTelemetry (OTel). OpenTelemetry revolutionizes observability in distributed systems.
