Sentry is now Fair Source

Today we’re launching Fair Source, a new approach to software sharing that is safe for companies to adopt and developers to use. Before Fair Source, companies that wanted to engage the developer community with their core products often did not know how to do so while maintaining control over their roadmap and business model.

An Overview of the OpenTelemetry Collector's Configuration File

In this video, I’ll provide an overview of the OpenTelemetry Collector’s configuration file (config.yaml) with examples from the Splunk distribution. I will briefly explain the components of the Splunk OTel Collector, and walk you through a sample generic configuration of the OTel Collector. We’ll then use the Splunk Observability Cloud interface to construct the commands needed to install the Splunk OTel Collector on a specific host. This installation will copy a default Splunk OTel Collector configuration onto the host, and we’ll review the Splunk specific components of this configuration.

The 80/20 Rule of Bug Fixing

At BugSplat, we've been supporting applications and video games with crash and error reporting for a long time. Over the years, we've collaborated with a wide range of teams, handling applications of all sizes. From our experience and numerous conversations with users, we've noticed an interesting trend: the distribution of crashes isn't uniform. If your application experiences 100 crashes in a given version, those crashes aren't caused by 100 different defects.
