How to Search Your Cloud Data - With No Data Movement

Organizations are building data lakes and bringing data together from many systems in raw format into these data lakes, hoping to process and extract differentiated value out of this data. However, if you’re trying to get value out of operational data, whether on prem or in the cloud, there are inherent risks and costs associated with moving data from one environment to another.

5 Proactive Security Engineering Techniques for Cloud-Native Teams

Developing a proactive security strategy can potentially save an organization millions of dollars per year. According to IBM, the average cost of a data breach in 2023 added up to a staggering $4.45 million, up 15% over the last three years. This is especially true for cloud-native environments, which face unique security challenges due to their dynamic nature. Instead of waiting to respond to cybersecurity incidents after they happen, it's much better to embrace a proactive approach, and prevent them in the first place.

What you're currently missing from your CDN monitoring tool

Content Delivery Networks (CDN) have been an inherent part of modern software infrastructure for years. They allow for faster and more reliable web-content delivery to users regardless of their location and an additional level of protection against DDoS Attacks and server failure. But just like any infrastructure service, they still fail from time to time and have their quirks. Enter CDN monitoring tools, providing insights on the performance of your CDN and helping troubleshoot issues.

What are the benefits of an observability solution from Splunk?

Organisations get a full-stack, end-to-end view of what is happening in a complex application environment. With Splunk Observability they can correlate logs, traces and metrics. They get a complete view of their application services, and can proactively see if something is going to happen and quickly detect the issue when a problem occurs.

Completing the Kubernetes Monitoring Puzzle

Kubernetes has changed the way many organizations approach the deployment of their applications. But despite its benefits, the additional layers of abstraction and reams of data can cause complexity around Kubernetes monitoring. We’ve seen so much of these challenges borne out in the results of the 2024 Observability Pulse survey. In the survey report, 36% of respondents say Kubernetes poses a challenge, and just 10% of organizations say they have full observability into their environments.

Stream Amazon CloudWatch Logs to Splunk Using AWS Lambda

Amazon CloudWatch Logs enables you to centralize the logs from different AWS services, logs from your applications running in AWS and on-prem servers, using a single highly scalable service. You can then easily view these logs data, search them for specific error codes or patterns, filter them based on specific fields, or archive them securely for future analysis.

Elastic Search 8.13: Simplifying embedding and ranking for developers

Elastic Search 8.13 extends the capabilities that enable developers to use artificial intelligence and machine learning models to create fast and elevated search experiences. Integrated with Apache Lucene 9.10, measured vector search performance has exceeded 2x in benchmarks, extending the sophistication of searches that can be performed in near real time.

What is Log Analytics?

There is observation then there’s analysis. Log Analytics falls under the latter category. Observation and analysis are not mutually exclusive; one builds upon the other. Similarly, Log analytics advances beyond simple log monitoring, enabling observability teams to identify trends and irregularities throughout your enterprise. To demystify what is Log Analytics, let’s first have a look at the definition.
