What is Graphite?

What is Graphite? Simply put, Graphite is an open-source enterprise-ready time-series database. So what is a time-series database? Well, a time series is a series of data points indexed (or listed or graphed) in time order. Time Series databases have excellent benefits over traditional databases in terms of high performance, higher writes, improved scalability, better reliability, and many more.

Implementing OpenTelemetry in a Gin application

OpenTelemetry can be used to trace Gin applications for performance issues and bugs. OpenTelemetry is an open-source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that aims to standardize the generation and collection of telemetry data like logs, metrics, and traces. Gin is an HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang). It features a Martini-like API with much better performance -- up to 40 times faster. If you need smashing performance, get yourself some Gin!

How to Remove Fields with Empty Values From Your Logs

Much of the log data we handle doesn’t offer substantial insight and can be conveniently removed from your logs, helping us reduce costs. What may seem like a small adjustment, like deleting an attribute, can have significant implications when scaled up. A typical case involves fields in your logs presenting empty values or housing data considered irrelevant. Below we’ll take a look at a few examples of what this looks like and how you can take action in BindPlane OP.

What Is Adaptive Thresholding?

Adaptive thresholding is a term used in computer science and — more specifically — across IT Service Intelligence (ITSI), for analyzing historical data to determine key performance indicators (KPIs) in your IT environment. Among other things, it’s used to govern KPI outliers in an effort to foster more meaningful and trusted performance monitoring alerts.

How Does Networking Work with Istio?

As organizations continue to digitally transform and expand their networks via cloud and multi-cloud environments, it has become increasingly critical to protect microservices and data flow. Implementing advanced technology such as service mesh helps your team secure data networks and manage system access policies by matching user intentions to workload states. Service meshes like Istio support the latest software application trends like containerization and microservice infrastructures.
