You may be thinking, “What on earth is an observability pipeline? And how does the Super Mario World fit in?” Hold on to your hat, my friend, because you’re about to find out!

Logs are like gold ore. They have valuable nuggets of information, but those nuggets often come in a matrix of less helpful material. Extracting the gold from the ore is crucial because it is vital to unlocking insights and optimizing your system(s). Raw logs can be overwhelming, containing informational messages, debug statements, errors, etc. However, buried within this sea of data lies the key metrics you can use to understand your applications' performance, availability, and health.

Imagine you have a network, whether it's a LAN or a vast enterprise-level network spread across different locations. Now, picture yourself wanting to monitor and analyze the data flow within that network. That's where network telemetry comes into play. Network telemetry is a group of techniques that allow you to understand better what's happening within networks. It's like watching the network's pulse to keep track of its health and performance. Read on to learn more about the network telemetry landscape.

The cloud is the future — or is it? While statistics show that the public cloud continues to grow, a small but loud group is proudly going in the other direction. David Heinemeier Hansson, the CTO of 37signals — the company behind Basecamp and HEY, among others — recently posted his controversial take on the subject, announcing that the organization would be leaving the cloud.

In this blog series, we’ll explore how Corelight and Cribl Stream work together to improve observability in Security Operations Centers (SOCs). In today’s rapidly changing threat landscape, it’s crucial to efficiently monitor and manage data for effective security operations. Corelight provides exceptional network visibility, while Cribl Stream gives you control and the flexibility to optimize data pipelines and gain valuable insights.

New playbooks can help detect issues automatically and provide support when troubleshooting your GKE environment.

This year, Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leading cloud services provider, announced a comprehensive security solution called Amazon Security Lake. In this blog post, we will explore what Amazon Security Lake is, how it works, the benefits for organizations, and partners you can leverage alongside it to enhance security analytics and quickly respond to security events.

Elastic APM supports OpenTelemetry on multiple levels. One easy-to understand scenario, which we previously blogged about, is the direct OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) support in APM Server. This means that you can connect any OpenTelemetry agent to an Elastic APM Server and the APM Server will happily take that data, ingest it into Elasticsearch®, and you can view that OpenTelemetry data in the APM app in Kibana®.

Hey there, Cribl fans! We hope you’re ready to move into the second half of summer with a splash because we have some exciting news to share. Our latest product launch is all about enabling teams and multiple users to work together seamlessly while focusing on security, access control, and providing valuable data insights on demand. Who says you can’t have it all? Let’s dive right into the details!

The common failure scenarios that occur in the cybersecurity world are typically assumed to be costs of doing business, but they’re actually more predictable and avoidable than you might imagine. Even if you’ve been lucky enough to avoid failed data sources or backups, a SIEM getting knocked offline, and other cybersecurity attack situations until now — in today’s day and age, they’re still inevitable.
