When viewing and analysing data with Elasticsearch, it is not uncommon to see visualizations and monitoring and alerting solutions that make use of timestamps that have been generated on remote/monitored systems. However, using remote-generated timestamps may be risky.
Jira has long been a popular issue tracking tool for development teams, but its scope has broadened quite a bit over the years, and it has bloomed into a more well-rounded project management tool as well. It’s used widely by agile teams to plan, track, and release software, along with numerous other cloud (and traditional self-managed) productivity tools.
Léargas Security (Léargas is Gaelic for “insight”) provides clients with actionable insights into anomalous or abstract behaviors through the correlation of data gathered from converged security controls: cyber and physical.
The Stack Infra team at Elastic uses many services to provide downloads for projects like Elasticsearch and Kibana to our users. One of these services is Fastly, which helps us optimize delivery to regions around the world. Keeping an eye on the performance and behavior of our CDN is important to ensure we're operating at the level we expect.
At STRABAG, we are using Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) for two main use cases within our on-premises web applications. One to power different kinds of search and a second for operations where we ship more than 25,000 log entries per minute to Elastic from our load balancers. The ECE platform runs in an air-gapped environment, and we would still like to be able to use our corporate logins for the ECE platform.
At Elastic, we love data. It’s the backbone of what we do: search. And that data takes many forms. A knowledge base article showing how to reset your cable box — data. Logs from your network — data. IP addresses accessing your secure network — data. A video tutorial on how adults can use TikTok — data. The list goes on. But behind each piece of data is a story. And a person. Or a customer.
This post is the second in our series on system metrics where we cover: In the previous post, we went through some built-in tools and methods for identifying key metrics and values on your systems. In this post, we'll provide a tutorial on how to use Metricbeat to consolidate metrics, store and analyze them in the long term, and discuss some of the benefits of a centralized metric store.
We hosted our first ever virtual Elastic{ON} Gov Summit with one primary goal: recreate the collaboration and community-building we normally enjoy at our in-person Gov Summit in a new, virtual format. And we were humbled to be able to do just that. The event gathered more than 2,000 registered attendees from across government agencies and partners to collaborate while so many of us were social distancing across the nation.
