Loki is designed to work easily both as microservices and as monoliths, and correlates logs and metrics to save users money.

Introducing Breadcrumbs

Have you ever dealt with an error in production, and no matter what you try, you can't replicate the issue on your development or staging environments? Often the next step is to gather more data by tossing a debug log at production. If you don't have a good way to correlate logs with a request it can be frustrating, especially during an incident.

Keep Your Business Stakeholders Updated While You Save the Day

Imagine this: An airline encounters a major IT incident in a data center that affects their ticketing system. Behind the scenes, technical responders are scrambling to diagnose and fix the issue. However, because today’s systems are so complex, this issue is taking longer than expected to resolve, and hours have passed since the system went down.

Using Elasticsearch Rollover to manage indices

In this article you will learn how to configure and use the Elasticsearch rollover feature in Jaeger. Note that this feature has been introduced in Jaeger 1.10.0. Jaeger uses index-per-day pattern to store its data to Elasticsearch. It creates a new index for each day based on span’s timestamp. These indices have to be periodically removed by jaeger-es-index-cleaner cron job. Typically users keep data from one week up to one month which results in 7 or 30 indices only for spans.
