Distributed Tracing Tools and New Industry Standards

Metrics and logs have been around for a long time, yet we haven’t adopted common standards for them. Sure, there have been attempts on the metric side with OpenMetrics. Similarly, tracing only got a standardization effort with OpenTracing just a few years ago. There was no effort in a unified approach to standardize all observability signals until OpenTelemetry began a little less than two years ago. And there has been a need.

Monitoring Zoom Metrics from Your Machine with Logz.io

Like everyone else, my life for the last few months has become a never-ending stream of video calls. With Zoom calls, and the occasional Skype, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, becoming the norm I’ve noticed that the fans on my Macbook have been kicking in and sounding like a tiny jet trying to take off.

What Are the Hardest Parts of Kubernetes to Learn?

Many enterprises have already adopted Kubernetes or have a Kubernetes migration plan in place, making it clear that the platform is here to stay. While it provides a lot of benefits to its users, to take advantage of them, you need to thoroughly learn Kubernetes and how it works in production. Typically, the most difficult aspects of Kubernetes are learned through experience solving real-world problems.

Introduction to Kibana Best Practices for Log Search and Visualizations

Kibana is a powerful and flexible tool to search and visualize your logs in Elasticsearch – but only if you know how to use it! Zach Hamilton, a Sales Engineer at Logz.io, has enabled hundreds to be successful with Kibana and will provide his insights for best practices in this webinar. Understanding Kibana’s strengths and quirks can help you more efficiently explore your log data so you can quickly understand what’s happening in your environment.

Automating Security on Your Observability Platform: Cortex XSOAR & Logz.io

Managing a complex microservice-based architecture requires defending multiple endpoints. Automating security covers a vast amount of tools and methodologies, so making sure they all communicate is critical. Additionally, tool sprawl in any aspect of DevOps requires putting automation to good use. The Logz.io Cloud SIEM focuses on identifying threats. To optimize its effectiveness, we have negotiated and built out multiple integrations tying complementary tools together.

The Evolution of Open Source Observability

On May 27, the first OpenObservability Conference was held to bring together leaders, practitioners, and users of leading open source observability tools for sessions on the experiences, strategies, and future of the industry. For the Logz.io team, as long-time proponents of open source, it was rewarding to see everyone come together to explore the challenges and opportunities of open source observability.

Designing an Opensource Observability Stack for Distributed Environments - Tech Strong Conf.

Observability teams today are facing increasing challenges in achieving visibility into the systems they monitor. Kubernetes adds significant complexity to achieving this goal. Open source provides powerful options and comes with serious advantages in cost, agility, and speed. Join Logz.io co-founder Asaf Yigal to learn how you can gain observability into Kubernetes projects with open source tools.
