Today, I’m happy to share more about our partnership and commitment to our users that they will have the best possible experience of both Elasticsearch and Grafana, across the full breadth of Elasticsearch functionality, with dedicated engineering from both Grafana Labs and Elastic. Through joint development of the official Grafana Elasticsearch plugin users can combine the benefits of Grafana’s visualization platform with the full capabilities of Elasticsearch.

Analyzing Elastic Workplace Search usage in a Kibana dashboard - part 2

For the 7.10 release of Elastic Workplace Search, we highlighted some of the new analytics logging capabilities and took you through a short walkthrough of some sample analysis scenarios. With the 7.11 release we introduced analytics fields, which open up new possibilities for exploring query and click data with helpful dashboards and visualizations.

Using Elastic machine learning rare analysis to hunt for the unusual

It is incredibly useful to be able to identify the most unusual data in your Elasticsearch indices. However, it can be incredibly difficult to manually find unusual content if you are collecting large volumes of data. Fortunately, Elastic machine learning can be used to easily build a model of your data and apply anomaly detection algorithms to detect what is rare/unusual in the data. And with machine learning, the larger the dataset, the better.

Ruby and Python clients for Elastic Enterprise Search now generally available

Back in our 7.10 release of the Elastic Stack, we announced the beta of our Ruby and Python clients for Elastic Enterprise Search. Now, with 7.11, both the Ruby and Python clients are generally available. We’ve also begun work on a PHP client. All client source code for both enterprise-search-ruby and enterprise-search-python is available on GitHub. Documentation on how to get started with each client is available on elastic.co.

How to monitor NVIDIA GPU metrics with Elastic Observability

Graphical processing units, or GPUs, aren’t just for PC gaming. Today, GPUs are used to train neural networks, simulate computational fluid dynamics, mine Bitcoin, and process workloads in data centers. And they are at the heart of most high-performance computing systems, making the monitoring of GPU performance in today's data centers just as important as monitoring CPU performance.

Testing the new Elasticsearch cold tier of searchable snapshots at scale

The cold tier of searchable snapshots, previously beta in Elasticsearch 7.10, is now generally available in Elasticsearch 7.11. This new data tier reduces your cluster storage by up to 50% over the warm tier while maintaining the same level of reliability and redundancy as your hot and warm tiers.

Top 5 SIEM trends of 2021 and how Elastic Security solves them

Security information and event management (SIEM) systems are centralized logging platforms that enable security teams to analyze event data in real time for early detection of targeted cyber attacks and data breaches. A SIEM is used as a tool to collect, store, investigate, and report on log data for threat detection, incident response, forensics, and regulatory compliance.
