In 2022, administrators are still managing agents which collect data for observability and security the same way they did 15 years ago: typing in configuration files by hand. A lot has changed since 2006 when Amazon announced AWS. Instead of racking and stacking servers in data centers, we’re spinning up compute resources in a variety of forms – at the click of a button, or automatically through APIs.

It’s been a busy Winter at Cribl! Today we are officially announcing Cribl Edge, a next-generation agent that expands the scope of observability.

StackState has always believed in the importance of open source and open standards, and we’ve demonstrated our commitment through ongoing support of open technologies. From the beginning, StackState supported StatsD and OpenMetrics. Even our agent is open source, designed to help organizations easily onboard our platform and to give them an extensible open way to observe their services. StackState is now proud to announce our next big open source step.

Part of our job here at Progress is to not only look at the challenges our customers are currently facing, but also to look at the technology landscape in general and consider the challenges they’re going to be facing. We don’t have a crystal ball, of course, but there are a plenty of trends that are obvious to even the most casual observer. Security has always been important, but the last year has made it clear exactly how important it is for every organization with a network.
Companies depend on observability insights to provide reliable online services to their customers.

This new version brings powerful new capabilities to DevOps and SRE teams who need to maintain a deep understanding of how their stack is behaving to meet their SLOs.
With our latest releases of Epinio, we’ve focused on making both the setup and developer experience much more streamlined. We’ve looked at where users are having issues and removed many of the roadblocks. This reduced footprint also allows for more customizability and easier long-term maintenance. If you are not familiar with Epinio, it is an application development engine for Kubernetes that lets you go from code to URL in a single step.
