An Organized Workflow for Prototyping

In the world of agile there’s a demand to solve grey areas throughout the design process at lightning speed. Prototypes help the scrum team test ideas and refine them. Without prototypes, we can’t test ideas until the feature or product has been built which can be a recipe for disaster. It’s like running a marathon without training.

Exploring Nordcloud's Promise to Deliver 100 Percent Alert-Based Security Operations to Customers

We are a multi-cloud managed services provider (MSP) that works strictly with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure. We’ve been working with enterprise public cloud leaders in Europe since 2012 and our goal is to provide fully managed public cloud transformation to our customers.

Near Real-Time Log Collection From Amazon S3 Storage

We are very excited to announce a new capability for our Amazon S3 sources. Until recently, the only method Sumo Logic used for discovering new data in an S3 bucket was periodic polling. However, with our new notification-based approach, users can now configure S3 sources such that Sumo Logic is notified immediately (via AWS SNS) whenever a new item is added to an S3 bucket, eliminating the need to wait for new objects to be discovered via periodic polling.

How to Triage Test Failures in a Continuous Delivery Lifecycle

Continuous testing has evolved to become an important phase in modern application development and delivery. When we at Sumo Logic sketched out a plan to start delivering our microservices continuously, we knew we needed to define a delivery pipeline, which would run our automated tests and provide feedback in early phases of development.

Gain Visibility into Your Puppet Deployments with the New Sumo Logic Puppet App

The world is changing. The way we do business, the way we communicate, and the way we secure the entPuppet is a software configuration management and deployment tool that is available both as an open source tool and commercial software. It’s most commonly used on Linux and Windows to pull the strings on multiple application servers at once. It includes its own declarative language to describe system configurations.

Pokemon Co. International and Sumo Logic's Joint Journey to Build a Modern Day SOC

The world is changing. The way we do business, the way we communicate, and the way we secure the enterprise are all vastly different today than they were 20 years ago. This natural evolution of technology innovation is powered by the cloud, which has not only freed teams from on-premises security infrastructure, but has also provided them with the resources and agility needed to automate mundane tasks.

How to Use the New Sumo Logic Terraform Provider for Hosted Collectors

Over the years, automation has become a key component in the management of the entire software release lifecycle. Automation helps teams get code from development into the hands of users faster and more reliably. While this principle is critical to your source code and continuous integration and delivery processes, it is equally essential to the underlying infrastructure you depend on.

Accelerate Security and PCI Compliance Visibility with New Sumo Logic Apps for Palo Alto Networks

It’s becoming increasingly harder to manage the volume of threats coming into enterprise networks as attackers become more sophisticated, the threat landscape expands and enterprises continue to adopt modern applications at cloud scale.

Intrinsic vs Meta Tags: What's the Difference and Why Does it Matter?

Tag-based metrics are typically used by IT operations and DevOps teams to make it easier to design and scale their systems. Tags help you to make sense of metrics by allowing you to filter on things like host, cluster, services, etc. However, knowing which tags to use, and when, can be confusing. For instance, have you ever wondered about the difference between intrinsic tags (or dimensions) and meta tags with respect to custom application metrics? If so, you’re not alone.

5 Best Practices for Using Sumo Logic Notebooks for Data Science

This year, at Sumo Logic’s third annual user conference, Illuminate 2018, we presented Sumo Logic Notebooks as a way to do data science in Sumo Logic. Sumo Logic Notebooks are an experimental feature that integrate Sumo Logic, notebooks and common machine learning frameworks. They are a bold attempt to go beyond what the current Sumo Logic product has to offer and enable a data science workflow leveraging our core platform.
