Cribl Stream is a real-time security and observability data processing pipeline that can be used to collect, transform, enrich, reduce, redact, and route data from a variety of sources to a variety of destinations. One of the popular destinations for Cribl users is Elastic SIEM. This blog post will walk you through the steps on how to set up Cribl Stream to normalize and forward data to use with Elastic Security for SIEM.

This is the final article of a three-part series. To start at the beginning, read Part 1: Benefiting from multi-cluster setups requires familiarity with common variations and Part 2: Exploring the facets of a multi-cluster observability strategy. As companies scale software production, they lean on Kubernetes as a crucial container orchestration platform for managing, deploying and ensuring software availability.

The manufacturing industry is at a crossroads. With automation and emerging technologies like AI, organizations are eager to make operational and production processes more efficient. However, for many manufacturers, the rapid pace of digitizing legacy infrastructure and systems has also exposed many unanticipated hurdles, with one of the biggest being the convergence between IT and operational technology (OT).

MSPs (Managed Service Providers) have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. They need to look after the IT infrastructures or networks of their customers to ensure that they’re always up and running. But, what happens when the MSP network itself isn’t performing like it should? Like a business organization, an MSP also faces repercussions due to network downtime. Even a minute of downtime can prevent an MSP from offering the necessary services to its clients.

OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability project that provides a set of APIs, SDKs, and tooling for collecting, generating, and exporting telemetry data. It provides instrumentation libraries in all major programming languages. In this article, we will demonstrate the automatic and manual instrumentation of Python applications. In this tutorial, we cover: If you want to jump straight into implementation, start with this prerequisites section.

This blog post by Grafana Labs Senior Software Engineer Milan Plžík was originally published on the Kubernetes.io blog on Nov. 16, 2023. There’s been quite a lot of posts suggesting that not using Kubernetes resource limits might be a fairly useful thing (for example, For the Love of God, Stop Using CPU Limits on Kubernetes or Kubernetes: Make your services faster by removing CPU limits ).

As 2023 draws to a close, we’re celebrating a full year since the release of SquaredUp Cloud – our revolutionary observability portal for product, engineering, and IT teams. In the last six months, we’ve packed in a ton of product improvements, including new visualizations, even more out-of-the-box dashboards, and a fast growing suite of pre-built plugins.

It’s overlooked, underappreciated, and oft-rescheduled. Time to give the humble 1-on-1 meeting the focus it deserves.

Cloud migration is the new gold rush, judging from the results of a survey involving 1,283 IT professionals. The survey shows that 88% of companies already use the cloud for some applications and data. Another 80% said they will have moved to cloud and co-location services by 2025. While 87% of respondents said the pandemic accelerated their cloud migration strategy, many companies’ transition plans had been in the works for years.
