Earlier this year Gartner published a report discussing OpenTelemetry and its place in enhancing Application Performance Monitoring (APM).

We are thrilled to announce that Mezmo has been recognized as one of the Top 20 Vendors for Managing IT Performance in 2022 by Digital Enterprise Journal (DEJ). This list was created in response to DEJ’s study, 24 Key Areas Shaping IT Performance Markets in 2022. DEJ analysts surveyed more than 3,300 organizations around a variety of topics to craft a comprehensive understanding of the state of these programs today.

As systems become more complex and distributed, the total amount of machine data put off by those systems continues to skyrocket. While teams may need access to an ever-increasing scope of machine data to gain insights into their increasingly complicated systems, that same need to access an increasingly large amount of data also creates cost concerns. Those concerns can grow into cost emergencies quickly.

At Mezmo, we see a massive opportunity to reduce Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by making log data more valuable and actionable. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the release of the Mezmo Exporter for OpenTelemetry- the first step in our continued work with the project to further simplify the ingestion of log data and make that data more actionable with enrichment of key OpenTelemetry attributes.

Everyone in your organization needs logs to perform critical functions of their job. Developers need them to debug their applications, security engineers need them to respond to incidents, and support engineers need them to help customers troubleshoot issues. These various use cases create general requirements for enriched log data and often include the need to access insights from outside typical retention windows.

The cost of cybercrime is predicted to hit $10.5 trillion by 2025, according to the latest version of the Cisco/Cybersecurity Ventures "2022 Cybersecurity Almanac." The way that people work, the tools that they use, and the mindset they must adopt to protect the enterprise has to evolve to keep up with the threat landscape.

Today we’re excited to introduce Mezmo: our new name and brand that represents the future of observability.

Everyone at LogDNA is (unsurprisingly) obsessed with the power of log data. It is the single source of truth for what is happening in your environment and, when used correctly, provides the insights needed to deliver better experiences. Now more than ever, people across various teams understand the value of having easy access to log data within key workflows.

Gartner recently released a report highlighting the top trends in cybersecurity for 2022. They discuss how businesses must reframe their security practices, rethink their technology, and adopt new responses to modern threats. This is in line with DevSecOps trends that we see in the market and hear about from our customers. Companies that are working in this way are taking a more holistic approach to cybersecurity by adopting tools that speed up and, when possible, automate security.

In our ongoing efforts to provide our customers with a best-in-class log management solution, we’re excited to launch improvements to our Agent. This new, robust version (3.4) provides significant performance improvements for our customers. Specifically, we focused on two main areas of the Agent: error handling and endurance.
