When we have large-scale, distributed systems, Logging becomes essential for observability, monitoring, and security. No matter what architecture (Monolith/Microservices) our systems have, they are complex due to the number of moving parts they have and the challenges they face around management, deployment, and scaling. In this scenario, Log management tools rescue the DevOps and SRE teams in order to help them monitor and improve performance, debug errors, and visualize events.

Digital services are increasingly built as a collection of components working in concert to deliver significant business functions. Understanding how these components of a system are working is crucial to reliably delivering a service. With many systems interacting, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to understand the state of your services and their dependencies without detailed data about how they function.

I open my laptop and look over my cases while I slurp down my first cup of coffee. Most of my backlog is waiting on customer updates, or bug fixes. Two of my cases have been marked for closure. Not a bad start for a Monday! A pod CrashLoopBackoff issue was resolved by bumping up memory requests, and the missing metrics issue was solved after applying some Prometheus annotations to the customer’s nginx pods. I notate and close both cases. No sooner do I hear the beep of the badge scanner.

Protecting sensitive data from malicious code and dangerous third parties is a critical task rather than something that should be taken for granted. With that in mind, it's an important - yet often overlooked - aspect of security that users stay informed about what's happening in this niche. After all, data security threats evolve at a staggering pace, and 2023's future cyber-attacks are bound to be as inventive as they've ever been.

Reporting is essential when managing a microservice architecture. Without some kind of reporting tool, it’s significantly more difficult to gain insight into how services and resources are functioning. Software teams need this insight in order to make meaningful progress — without reporting, it’s hard to even know where progress needs to be made. With the introduction of CQL reports, Cortex gives you more visibility than ever before.

This tutorial describes how to install the Telegraf plugin as a data-collection interface with InfluxDB 1.7 and Docker. In Part 1 of this tutorial series, we covered the steps to install InfluxDB 1.7 on Docker for Linux instances. We describe in Part 2 how to install the Telegraf plugin as a data-collection interface with InfluxDB 1.7 and Docker.

InfluxDB Cloud runs natively on AWS. This is great for users that already rely on AWS because it keeps everything (or at least most things, hopefully!) in one place. This can also reduce data latency, if the region you use is geographically close to your data sources. Plus, it’s super easy to get started using InfluxDB on AWS. One of the great things about AWS is that it has a ton of different services and features that allow you to do more with your data.
