This leading medical care provider manages thousands of facilities and dozens of various patient portals. They needed to find an efficient way to analyze and monitor different services, to obtain maximum availability of their systems – so that patients/doctors get the information they need without interruptions. By implementing XpoLog: Their environment consists of multiple applications, centralized in a main data center, which interacts with all their facilities.

Your organization’s IT system is a complex network of intercommunicating devices that can provide you with an abundance of useful data - if you apply the right practices to gather and filter it. However, to realize how each of these sources interacts and interconnects with one another, you need will to master the art of Information Technology Operations Analytics.

Record keeping tasks such as data retention and disposal are an essential part of business management and regulatory compliance.

Loki and Grafana are a perfect match. The backend is kept lean and space-efficient, while the user interface allows ad-hoc field parsing and simple statistics. This post details some of the UX goals we had to deliver logs simpler and faster.

Multi-cloud is a cloud computing strategy that uses two or more different cloud services. This can be a combination of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), or Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions running in a public or private cloud environment. Multi-cloud offers a number of benefits including greater reliability and availability, less vendor lock-in, and potentially lower costs.

We performed a comparison between ELK log analysis tool and XpoLog log management tool. Main points to notice when considering using ELK for your log analysis Vs. XpoLog: 1. XpoLog provides a unique auto mining technology which profiles systems and app log data. XpoLog tool is able to build automatic IT intelligence which helps to understand the source of the problem and subsequently correlate and compute trends on those problems and then create the search analysis queries for the user.

Regardless of what language and framework you use, proper logging is crucial to web development. Logging is key when it comes to debugging and performance monitoring. Knowing how to properly use logging frameworks is an essential part of creating high quality software that is easy to debug.

Today we are releasing Graylog v2.5.1 to fix a few bugs. Many thanks to our community for reporting issues and contributing fixes!

Observing modern applications is challenging. Microservices allow for applications that are not only more distributed but are made up of a number of different languages, frameworks, and backend services. DevOps teams have far greater flexibility in where and how they deploy applications,but when it comes time to collect logs, this flexibility can quickly become a hurdle.
