Getting OpenTelemetry Data Into Graylog

OpenTelemetry is emerging as the common framework for collecting observability data, and for good reason. It’s vendor-neutral, open source, and designed to collect traces, metrics, and logs in a consistent way. But while most of the buzz is around tracing and metrics, let’s not forget: logs are still the backbone of investigation and response. That’s why Graylog now supports native collection of OpenTelemetry data over gRPC.

The truth you can't afford to miss: Listen as your logs spill the tea

When you hear “spill the tea,” you probably think of pop culture, not outages or anomalies.

How To: SLA Monitoring & Reporting: Are You Getting What You Paid For?

Are you tired of feeling like you're in the dark about the services you're paying for? Are you getting what you paid for? Many businesses are in the same boat when it comes to Service Level Agreement (SLA) monitoring and reporting. It’s great having an SLA (or Service-Level Agreement) for the provision of a service, but you need to go further to really understand if the standards specified in the SLA are actually being met. That’s where SLA monitoring and reporting comes in.

A Roadmap To AWS Savings Plans Vs. Reserved Instances

A decade after launching Reserved Instances (RIs), Amazon Web Services (AWS) introduced Savings Plans as a more flexible alternative to RIs. AWS Savings Plans are not meant to replace Reserved Instances; they are complementary. SPs and RIs have some significant differences that make each better suited to specific uses. For example, while Savings Plans apply to both EC2 and Fargate instances, RIs only apply to EC2 instances. Let’s break down AWS Savings Plans vs.
