Elastic Observability 8.1: Visibility into AWS Lambda, CI/CD pipelines, and more

Technologies such as serverless computing frameworks and CI/CD automation tools help accelerate software development lifecycles (SDLC) to give development teams a competitive edge in the marketplace. Armed with these technologies, teams can deploy and innovate faster and more frequently by automating repetitive tasks and eliminating the need to manage or provision servers.

Elastic Enterprise Search 8.1: Enhanced web crawling and SharePoint on-prem connectivity

The 8.1 release of Elastic Enterprise Search features faster and more efficient content ingestion with the latest enhancements to the Elastic web crawler, with additional troubleshooting capabilities as well. This release also features the addition of SharePoint Server to our library of prebuilt connectors to enable aggregation of on-premises SharePoint Server content into Elastic for seamless search.

Banks are enabling personalization with Elastic - your industry can, too

Think about the moments when something is presented to you that is just what you’re looking for. Those moments, when it feels like a company you trust knows you, are all too rare in commerce. And of course, presented incorrectly, they can even feel invasive. But done well, they solidify your relationship as a customer, and reinforce that you’re getting the service you deserve.

5 questions about Ansible that Elastic Observability can answer

While automating systems is seen as an imperative in boardrooms around the globe, automation teams — the teams on the ground — often lack the data to help them to industrialize their automation efforts and move from ad-hoc automation to strategic automation. In this automation-focused blog post, we will show how to instrument infrastructure automation with Elastic Observability.

Logstash: Path to ECS for 8.0

The Elastic Common Schema is a community-driven effort to provide consistent semantic meaning to datasets so that data from disparate sources can be meaningfully used together. In Logstash 8.0, ECS compatibility is on-by-default — this is a pretty major change to how many plugins operate. In this talk, we outline the rationale behind the transition and also highlight how to opt-OUT of the transition with a simple pipeline setting.

How we perform continuous performance testing on Enterprise Search

Elastic Enterprise Search is a product that uses the power of Elasticsearch over datasets — so that data will always be accessible, no matter its location. Enterprise Search leverages Kibana and Elasticsearch to let you index all your data. Enterprise Search is composed of two distinct sets of features: App Search and Workplace Search. App Search provides APIs and dashboard controls for building powerful search experiences.

From eBPF to CI/CD: 12 emerging trends in observability

As businesses accelerate digital transformations and cloud adoption to better serve customers and employees in the face of the global pandemic, operational complexity has also mounted. To untangle these complexities and enable executive visibility into IT ecosystem , business leaders are increasingly looking to observability solutions as a strategic investment.

Code coverage for eBPF programs

I bet we all have heard so much about eBPF in recent years. Data shows that eBPF is quickly becoming the first choice for implementing tracing and security applications, and Elastic is also working relentlessly on supercharging our security solutions (and more) with eBPF. However, one major challenge is that the eBPF ecosystem lacks tooling to make developers' lives easier. eBPF programs are written in C but compiled for a specific ISA later executed by the eBPF Virtual Machine.
