Full Overview: Reducing Web Server Logs (ex.NGINX)

Working with web servers such as NGINX, you know they’re efficient but can generate a lot of log data. While this data is valuable, sorting through it can be a challenge, and the storage and processing costs can quickly add up. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through refining an NGINX log data stream using BindPlane OP. We’ll dive into how to extract valuable metrics and reduce log volume by filtering out unnecessary logs. By the end of this, you’ll be able to navigate your log analysis process more efficiently, saving time⏳and money💰.

Simplifying Agent Management

BindPlane OP helps with fleet management in being able to show all of your agents, versions, configs, and amount of data passing through in a single plane. With additional features such as bulk select one can easily manage agents updating all at once.#telemetry #opensource #observability About ObservIQ: observIQ is developing the unified telemetry platform: a fast, powerful and intuitive next-generation platform built for the modern observability team. Rooted in OpenTelemetry, our platform is designed to help teams reduce, simplify, and standardize their observability data.

Deciphering Complex Logs With Regex Using BindPlane OP and OpenTelemetry

Parsing logs with regex is a valuable technique for extracting essential information from large volumes of log data. By employing this method, one can effectively identify patterns, errors, and other key insights, ultimately streamlining log analysis and enhancing system performance.

Setting Up a Grafana Destination with BindPlane OP

BindPlane OP makes it easy to route your data to the correct destination. In this example see how we use a metric instance id, an API key, and zone from Grafana to setup the destination and ensure data is flowing.#telemetry #opensource #observability #grafana About ObservIQ: observIQ is developing the unified telemetry platform: a fast, powerful and intuitive next-generation platform built for the modern observability team.

Reducing Log Volume with Log-based Metrics

As the amount of telemetry being collected continues to grow exponentially, businesses are continuously seeking cost-effective ways to monitor and analyze their systems. Data collection and monitoring can be expensive, especially when dealing with large volumes of logs. One approach to maintaining visibility while reducing the amount of data collected is through creating log-based metrics.

How to Mask Sensitive Data in Logs with BindPlane OP Enterprise

Logs often contain sensitive data, including personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers. To maintain security and comply with data protection regulations, it’s crucial to mask this data before storing it in your log analytics tool. BindPlane OP streamlines this process with the Mask Sensitive Data processor, ensuring your logs are safe and compliant.

Adding a Log Record Attribute

Check out how to standardize telemetry by adding metadata to the log record. By tagging appropriately, one can not only enrich, but also have the flexibility to route anywhere avoiding vendor lock-in. #telemetry #opensource #observability About ObservIQ: observIQ is developing the unified telemetry platform: a fast, powerful and intuitive next-generation platform built for the modern observability team.

Tracing Services Using OTel and Jaeger

At observIQ, we use the OTel collector to collect host/container-level metrics and logs from our systems. But to get more detailed monitoring of our applications (APM), we use the OTel SDK and instrumentation libraries. This post aims to provide a quick start to setting up tracing exporting to a local Jaeger instance.

How to Reduce Duplicate Log Data with BindPlane OP

Are you dealing with duplicate log data? This can get expensive💰 and be difficult to parse, so how can one solve? Check out the clip with our CEO, Michael Kelly, as he shows you how to reduce telemetry data at the edge, reducing cost but not impacting visibility👀 with BindPlane OP. #telemetry #opensource #observability

How to Monitor Cloudflare with OpenTelemetry

With observIQ’s latest contributions to OpenTelemetry, you can now use free open source tools to easily monitor Cloudflare. The easiest way to use the latest OpenTelemetry tools is with observIQ’s distribution of the OpenTelemetry collector. You can find it here. In this blog, the Cloudflare receiver is configured to monitor logs locally with OTLP– you can use the receiver to ship logs to many popular analysis tools, including Google Cloud, New Relic, OTLP, Grafana, and more.
