A little over 2 months ago, we announced Mattermost Omnibus (beta). Mattermost Omnibus is a new, time-saving approach to installing Mattermost. Since then, we’ve done a massive amount of testing, listened to your feedback, and added new features and options. Today, I’m excited to share some big news. The project is officially graduating from Beta status and is ready for any single-server deployments for use as test, dev and/or production Mattermost servers.

As data continues to explode across the enterprise, we are finding that it is becoming increasingly challenging for organizations to keep up. A recent Splunk report, "The Data Age is Here," found that 57% of companies interviewed expressed that the volume of data is growing faster than they can manage, with 47% bluntly saying they will fall behind when faced with rapid data volume growth.

Grafana v7.3 has been released! With Grafana 7.0, we rounded out our observability story by making tracing a first-class citizen in Grafana alongside metrics and logs. That release included integrations with Jaeger and Zipkin, and earlier this month, we announced our integration with AWS X-Ray. At ObservabilityCON on Monday, we announced Grafana Tempo, our new open source distributed tracing system. Tempo is massively scalable, cost-effective, and easy to operate.

Mattermost is a platform based on collaboration — not built simply for facilitating team and asynchronous communication, but built on the philosophy that having the ability to collaborate efficiently makes the world safer and more productive for everyone. This is true in many day-to-day situations in an organization, but it is especially true in the world of DevOps. When an emergency arises, information needs to be moved from person to person and team to team as quickly as possible.

We’re excited to announce that Calico Enterprise, the leading solution for Kubernetes networking, security and observability in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, now includes encryption for data-in-transit.

We’re excited to announce the public beta of the LogDNA Terraform Provider, allowing organizations to manage Views and Alerts programmatically via Terraform. Today, more teams than ever are adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to reduce human error and create efficiently scaled workflows for their infrastructure. Additionally, teams are looking to bring the same benefits of scalability and predictability into their SaaS-based observability stack.

We are happy to announce that our new SCOM Management Pack for monitoring Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC) instances has been released today! Citrix ADC was previously called 'Netscaler'. With more than 150 monitors and rules, organizations that use Citrix ADC to provide remote access to their employees are now able to insure Remote Work Availability and Performance at all times with SCOM. The MP has become part of our Citrix Ready MetrixInsight for CVAD subscription offering.

Today, more than ever, mobilizing remote teams to triage and resolve outages separates is separating enterprises able to accelerate their digital initiatives from those who don’t. Observability has elevated our ability to quickly detect problems and ask questions in our system to triage and reduce “time to clue” — an increasingly important metric.

Grafana Labs is proud to announce an easy-to-operate, high-scale, and cost-effective distributed tracing system: Tempo. Tempo is designed to be a robust trace id lookup store whose only dependency is object storage (GCS/S3).
