Collecting and processing logs, metrics, and application data from endpoints have caused many ITOps and SecOps engineers to go gray sooner than they would have liked. Delivering observability data to its proper destination from Linux and Windows machines, apps, or microservices is way more difficult than it needs to be. We created Cribl Edge to save the rest of that beautiful head of hair of yours.
Kubernetes is the leading container orchestration platform and has developed into the backbone technology for many organizations’ modern applications and infrastructure. As an open source project, “K8s” is also one of the largest success stories to ever emanate from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). In short, Kubernetes has revolutionized the way organizations deploy, manage, and scale applications.
Application performance monitoring (APM) is much more than capturing and tracking errors and stack traces. Today’s cloud-based businesses deploy applications across various regions and even cloud providers. So, harnessing the power of metadata provided by the Elastic APM agents becomes more critical. Leveraging the metadata, including crucial information like cloud region, provider, and machine type, allows us to track costs across the application stack.
In the world of observability, having the right amount of data is key. For years Apica has led the way, utilizing synthetic monitoring to evaluate the performance of critical transactions and customer flows, ensuring businesses have important insight and lead time regarding potential issues.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, empowering businesses and software engineers to scale and push the boundaries of what was once thought impossible. However as AI is accepted in more professional spaces, the complexity of managing AI systems seems to grow. Monitoring AI usage has become a critical practice for organizations to ensure optimal performance, resource efficiency, and provide a seamless user experience.
Cindy works long hours managing a SecOps team at UltraCorp, Inc. Her team’s days are spent triaging alerts, managing incidents, and protecting the company from cyberattacks. The workload is immense, and her team relies on a popular SOAR platform to automate incident response including executing case management workflows that populate cases with relevant event data and enrichment with IOCs from their TIP, as well execute a playbook to block the source of the threat at the endpoint.
In previous blogs, we explored how Elastic Observability can help you monitor various AWS services and analyze them effectively: One of the more heavily used AWS container services is Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service). While there is a trend toward using Fargate to simplify the setup and management of ECS clusters, many users still prefer using Amazon ECS with EC2 instances.
