Kubernetes + Cribl Edge: Because Logging and Metrics Shouldn't Be a Mystery Novel!

To fully utilize the capabilities of Kubernetes, it’s crucial to have a reliable system for gathering and organizing logs, metrics, and events. With the complex nature of container orchestration, it’s crucial to understand the significance and process behind the data generated in a Kubernetes environment at scale. Cribl Edge works seamlessly with Kubernetes and can cater to various needs.

Using the Cribl API - Part 1

Cribl’s interface is Super Neato: Reactive, beautiful, and easy to use. But sometimes you need to access settings and configurations programmatically. The good news is that interactive API docs are baked into your Cribl instance. The better news is that everything that happens in the GUI is making API calls. With your browser’s developer mode, you can easily take a peak behind the curtain to see exactly how the API was called and what the payload looked like.

Challenge Met: Adopting Intelligent Observability Pipelines

Over the last year or so, the unavoidable topic of overwhelming cost has emerged as the number one issue among today’s observability practitioners. Whether it is in conversations among end users, feedback from customers and prospects, industry chatter or the coverage of experts including Gartner, the issue of massive telemetry data volumes driving unsustainable observability budgets prevails.

API Monitoring: A Complete Introduction

At the most basic level, application programming interface (API) monitoring checks to see if API-connected resources are available, working properly and responding to calls. API monitoring has become even more important (and complicated) as more elements are added to the network and the environment evolves, including multiple types of devices, microservices as a key part of application delivery, and, of course, the widespread move to the cloud.

How to deploy a Hello World web app with Elastic Observability on Azure Container Apps

Elastic Observability is the optimal tool to provide visibility into your running web apps. Microsoft Azure Container Apps is a fully managed environment that enables you to run containerized applications on a serverless platform so that your applications scale up and down. This allows you to accomplish the dual objective of serving every customer’s need for availability while meeting your needs to do so as efficiently as possible.

What is Infrastructure as Code? An Introduction to IaC

Infrastructure as Code, or IaC, is the practice of automatically provisioning and configuring infrastructure using code and scripts. IaC allows developers to automate the creation of environments to generate infrastructure components rather than setting up the necessary systems and devices manually.

Leveraging Tines and Cribl Search for Security Automation

At Cribl, we have the privilege of helping our customers achieve their strategic data goals by giving them visibility and control over all of their observability data. The reality today is that data is commonly stored across many places. Whether intentional (such as using Cribl Stream to create a security data lake) or unintentional (because of silos and tool sprawl), organizations desire the ability to access and analyze all of this information at any time.

How To Profile and Optimize Telemetry Data: A Deep Dive

We recently had the privilege of presenting our telemetry data pipelining platform at Cloud Field Day. Today, we'd like to share a recap of our demo with you. In this demo, we explore the transformative potential of data profiling, telemetry pipeline optimization, and incident response. Foundationally, we follow an Understand, Optimize, and Respond workflow.

How to Monitor MySQL Using OpenTelemetry

MySQL is the trusted open-source database management system for many desktop, mobile, web, and cloud applications. Monitoring the performance of MySQL is critical but as the applications expand over multi-cloud, cloud-native, and hybrid cloud, monitoring also grows in complexity. Continuous monitoring and scaling help applications take advantage of MySQL’s capabilities such as reliability, security, flexibility, availability, and performance scalability.
