Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) makes it easy to manage your Elastic Stack deployments, just like role-based access control (RBAC) makes it easy to manage your users. Combining the two can really make an administrator's life much simpler. The intent of this blog post is to provide instructions for configuring a SAML realm for RBAC in ECE environments where Auth0 is used as an identity provider (IdP).

The effect of the virus on business and IT leaders has been to dramatically compress the strategic long view. The trends businesses saw coming over the next five to ten years, the developments that will drive growth opportunities or pose a disruptive threat ...
In our blog post on structuring Elasticsearch data with grok on ingest for faster analytics, we took a look at how to structure unstructured data on ingest (schema on write) to make sure your analytics run at near real time. Speed like that can help take your observability use cases to the next level. In this article, we’re going to build on what we learned by incrementally creating a new grok pattern from scratch!
InfluxDB provides several graph type visualizations to allow users to easily monitor their data. However, most of those graph types are only helpful if your data can be represented numerically. What if you want to track the health of your application, or visualize the status of your pods deployed in Kubernetes, over time? In both these cases, status is tracked over time using one of several discrete values, and can’t be plotted on an x/y chart.
In this post, we’ll review some common InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 errors for beginners. We’ll discuss probable causes as well as recommended fixes. This blog uses the Telegraf System Configuration and data as an example to illustrate the various errors you may encounter. Having some familiarity with this dataset is useful in understanding the issue and the resolution.
Web analytics is often based on invasively collecting and aggregating user data. But web analytics doesn’t have to be an invasion of privacy. A growing movement of businesses, including performance monitoring services like Request Metrics, are working to create sustainable web analytics tools. Tools that give web developers the metrics they need to improve their websites without compromising the privacy of our users.
As Australia prepares for the challenge of returning to the physical office, organisations nationwide are considering the best course of action when it comes to ensuring that their workers have the most adaptable and flexible approach possible. The year has been unpredictable and frightening, both on a societal and governmental level. Some companies have managed to weather the storm while others have struggled, and ultimately challenging times are as much ahead of us as they are behind us.
Performance has been a top user concern and an area of investment for InfluxDB Cloud since launching a year ago. The theme of our recent performance push is aggregations; we took a vertical slice from backend platform to front-end user interface to improve aggregations across the full stack.
