Distributed Tracing & Logging - Better Together

Monitoring requires a multi-faceted approach if DevOps teams want end-to-end visibility and deep insight into issues. This is especially true in the case of modern microservices applications, which are essentially collections of distributed services that talk to each other over a service mesh. With monolithic applications, requests can be tracked easily from the client to the server and back, but with modern applications, every request passes through numerous services before completion.

Data Culture: The Future of the Intelligent Organisation Starts Here

In today’s digital world, every transaction is logged to give businesses endless amounts of functional data, and there is near-universal agreement that data insights will be integral to the success of businesses in the future. There is undoubtedly a need for a more data literate workforce.

Kubernetes observability tutorial: Metrics collection and analysis

This post is the second in our Kubernetes observability tutorial series, where we explore how you can monitor all aspects of your applications running in Kubernetes, including: We’ll cover using Elastic Observability to ingest and analyze container metrics in Kibana using the Metrics app and out-of-the-box dashboards.

Defense in depth: DoublePulsar

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you are probably familiar with the recent Shadow Brokers data dump of the Equation Group tools. In that release a precision SMB backdoor was included called Double Pulsar. This backdoor is implemented by exploiting the recently patched Windows vulnerability: CVE-2017-0143. For detection, we are going to first focus on the backdoor portion of the implant, hunting for traces left behind on the network.

What the Cloud Native Revolution Means for Log Management

This was originally posted on The New Stack. Once upon a time, log management was relatively straightforward. The volume, types, and structures of logs were simple and manageable. However, over the past few years, all of this simplicity has gone out the window. Thanks to the shift toward cloud native technologies—such as loosely coupled services, microservices architectures, and technologies like containers and Kubernetes—the log management strategies of the past no longer suffice.

Data Will Keep Our Workplaces Healthier and More Productive - But There Must Be Trust and Transparency

In a post-pandemic world, we must use data in new ways. This in turn will require new discussions about, and practices creating, trust and transparency. The necessity of data and its benefits will be weighed against legitimate concerns of misuse of data.

Let's Dive In: JFrog Unified Platform and Splunk - John Peterson, Senior Partner Engineer, JFrog

In our lightning talking will we cover the JFrog Unified Platform integration with Splunk for a wholistic analytics view into the unified platform logs. Combining the two best of breed applications makes tremendous sense for an enterprise without it valuable data insights are lost as well as any action the business might have taken. We will cover how to setup this integration, valuable data insights that can be gained, and how you can extend this integration to discover all new data insights you will wished you always had.

Stretch Your Reach with Unified JFrog Data and Elastic

DevOps teams rely on Artifactory as the bread and butter tool of universal binary repo managers, but observing its operations can be challenging. With multiple high availability nodes and unification with Xray as the JFrog DevOps Platform, that operations data is spread out across logs for each service in the JFrog Platform deployment. Operations teams need a view into valuable data insights that can only be gained through real time data mining and observation of the platform.
