How to Log Into a Docker Container

When your Docker container isn't behaving the way you expect, you need to get inside and see what's going on. Maybe your app is throwing errors, a service won't start, or you just need to check some configuration files. Getting into a running Docker container is simpler than you might think, but there are several ways to do it depending on your situation. This guide shows you exactly how to log into Docker containers, troubleshoot common issues, and debug your applications effectively.

Why Datadog Falls Short for Log Management and What to Do Instead

Datadog may be the default choice for all-in-one observability, but its logging experience takes a back seat to the broader platform. Logs are primarily designed to feed into metrics and traces, which leads to tradeoffs such as slower search, complex workflows, and a UI that isn’t optimized for log investigations. As a result, Datadog doesn’t align with how developers actually troubleshoot.

Takeaways from BigPanda25

Last week saw several huge milestones for BigPanda. We launched the BigPanda agentic IT operations platform, a sweeping evolution of our product offerings. As part of this launch, we also introduced two new AI solutions, BigPanda AI Detection and Response and BigPanda AI Incident Assistant. These powerful new capabilities bring agentic AI into IT operations, transforming how enterprises automate the manual and time-intensive workflows of ITOps, L1 response, and incident management.

A Developer's Framework for Selecting the Right Tracing Vendor

Distributed tracing tracks requests as they flow through microservices, revealing bottlenecks, failures, and performance patterns. Without proper tracing, debugging production issues becomes guesswork—especially in complex architectures with dozens of services. Modern applications generate millions of traces daily. The right vendor helps you extract actionable insights without drowning in data or breaking your budget.

How to Improve Uptime and Achieve Root Cause Analysis (with Open Source!)

Observability doesn’t begin and end at telemetry or your ELK stack: most open source or vendor tools require configuration, dashboard customization, and may not actually pinpoint the data you need to mitigate system risks. Coroot was designed to solve the problem of time-consuming root cause analysis: it handles the full observability journey — from collecting telemetry to turning it into actionable insights. We also strongly believe that simple observability should be an innovation everyone can afford to benefit from: which is why our software is open source.
