Today we’re excited to announce the general availability of InfluxDB Cloud for Google Cloud. With this new service, GCP users can now use our leading time series data platform on Google infrastructure. This lets you address a wide range of use cases: server monitoring, IoT sensor data tracking, real-time customer analytics, application performance metrics, network monitoring, security threat detection, and financial market analysis.

SAN FRANCISCO — February 4, 2020 — InfluxData, creator of the time series database InfluxDB, today announced the availability of InfluxDB Cloud on Google Cloud. The strategic collaboration, originally announced in April 2019, is part of a major Google Cloud initiative to make the most powerful open source technologies more accessible to its customer base.

In the first part of this blog series, we presented a use case on how machine learning can help to improve police operations. The use case demonstrates how operational planning can be optimized by means of machine learning techniques using a crime dataset of Chicago. However, this isn’t the only way to predict and prevent crime. Our next example takes us to London to have a look at what NCCGroup’s Paul McDonough and Shashank Raina have worked on.

This release unifies views, dashboards, and search for a more flexible and comprehensive approach to threat hunting. The expanded search introduces greater efficiency by making it easier to reuse searches you need to run on a regular basis with saved search and search workflows. Other enhancements such as full screen dashboards, and updates to alerting round out v3.2.

Fast-growing products are not overnight successes contrary to what you often hear. At InfluxData, we’re on a mission to build a user base from scratch with our new flagship product InfluxDB Cloud. Every new user has to go through a signup flow to create their account. So it must go as smoothly as possible. User research and design experimentation are the way we’ll reach this goal, and the main ingredient in this recipe is you: the community member.

Howdy Splunkers, I’m back and this time I’m packin’ a serious punch. I’m so excited to announce the availability of my new IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) Content Pack for Monitoring and Alerting.

A sequel to our first post, Automating the installation of Elastic Cloud Enterprise with Ansible, this blog shows how to extend automation to cloud provisioning with Terraform. In the first post, we detailed how to deploy and configure Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) across three availability zones in AWS using Ansible. However, the provisioning of the underlying EC2 instances and configuration of the security groups was all manual.

The Elastic Common Schema (ECS) defines a common set of fields for ingesting data into Elasticsearch. A common schema helps you correlate data from sources like logs and metrics or IT operations analytics and security analytics. Further information on ECS can be found in the official Elastic documentation, GitHub repository, or the Introducing Elastic Common Schema article.

Welcome to the new year and a new decade! We’re sorry if you were hoping for “new year, new jokes.” But new glitches, we’ve got plenty of.
