In telemetry jargon, a pipeline is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of nodes that carry emitted signals from an application to a backend. In an OpenTelemetry Collector, a pipeline is a set of receivers that collect signals, runs them through processors, and then emits them through configured exporters. This blog post hopes to simplify both types of pipelines by using an OpenTelemetry extension called the Headers Setter.

With the Opslogix ServiceNow Incident Connector for SCOM, you get a bi-directional data sync between SCOM Alerts and ServiceNow Incidents and Tickets Most organizations rely on a number of different tools to keep their operations running smoothly. Getting these tools to integrate seamlessly with each other is an essential factor in streamlining your operations, but sometimes, additional connectors might be needed in order to do so optimally.

Observability first emerged as a focal point of interest in the DevOps community in the 2017 time frame. Aware that business was demanding highly adaptable digital environments, DevOps professionals realised that high adaptability required a new approach to IT architecture. Whereas historically, digital stacks were monolithic or, at best, coarsely grained, the new stacks would have to be highly modular, dynamic, ephemeral at the component level, and spread over multiple cloud-based services.

With the rapid adoption of cloud, distributed systems and microservices are standard, resulting in increasingly complex environments. Once straightforward troubleshooting workflows have become chaotic, frustrating, and time-consuming. When something breaks, multiple teams are called to the table to prove they’re “not it”; each with their singular view of the problem.

What do the gauges on your car, the jumbotron at a stadium, and Splunk Observability Cloud all have in common? They all show you the important information to know how something is performing. We all know what to look for in the first two examples.

Welcome to Day 1 of the software development life cycle — what now? We’ve already covered Day 0 server provisioning, and you should be ready to start writing code that will support your DevOps initiatives and make your life easier …or are you? Put some of our wisdom and experience at work for Day 1 of the software life cycle, and make sure you’re fully prepared to handle common pitfalls and problems that can become ongoing issues for Day 2.

Empty spaces, what are we searching for? Abandon queries, but do you know the score? On and on, Does anybody know what we are looking for? … Inspired by “The Show Must Go On”, Queen. Since we launched Cribl Search back in late 2022, we’ve been hard at work on adding features and functionality that continue to empower data engineers to do more with their data without needing to collect it first.

At Cribl, we give the people what they want. And what they want is to keep their data close to their sources and destinations. The less data has to travel, the better — lower latency and fewer security risks. This commitment to data locality is even more pronounced among our valued customers in the EMEA region, who are enthusiastically embracing cloud-first strategies.
