An effective alerting strategy is the difference between reacting to an outage and stopping it before it starts. That’s why at Coralogix, we’re constantly releasing new features that redefine how alerts are consumed, to enable teams to push their ambitions even further, release with confidence, and tackle issues proactively. Alerts Map is now an indispensable tool for that mission.

For many organizations, it’s a matter of when, not if, a cybersecurity threat will occur. According to IBM, the average cost of a data breach in 2022 was a staggering $9.44 million in the U.S., with nearly half of breaches happening in the cloud. The longer a threat lingers, the costlier it gets. Advanced persistent threats (APTs), or threat actors that infiltrate cloud infrastructure like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and linger undetected, are on the rise.

Unlock the full potential of your observability stack with continuous profiling Identifying performance bottlenecks and wasteful computations can be a complex and challenging task, particularly in modern cloud-native environments. As the complexity of cloud-native environments increases, so does the need for effective observability solutions.

Cloud Logging’s Log Analytics, with advanced search, as well as aggregation and transformation of all log data types, is now generally available.

The success of your website lies in how satisfied your users are with it. To help ensure the quality of your user experience, Google uses various signals from a web page. The three Core Web Vitals are some of the most important ones. In this article, I’ll talk about what each Core Web Vital means and how to optimize them to deliver a better user experience.

When monitoring your application performance or troubleshooting an issue in production, context is key. The more information available, the faster the prevention of or detection of a user impacting issue. Observability tools offer many different features, like code profiling, to help contextualize your data. In this post, I’ll discuss what code profiling is and show an example of how it works.

Prometheus is a widely utilized time-series database for monitoring the health and performance of AWS infrastructure. With its ecosystem of data collection, storage, alerting, and analysis capabilities, among others, the open source tool set offers a complete package of monitoring solutions. Prometheus is ideal for scraping metrics from cloud-native services, storing the data for analysis, and monitoring the data with alerts.

As we at Splunk accelerate our cloud journey, we’re often faced with the decision of when to use logs vs metrics — a decision many in IT face. On the surface, one can do a lot by just observing logs and events. In fact, in the early days of Splunk Cloud, this is exactly how we observed everything. As we continue to grow, however, we find ourselves using a combination of both. This post lays out the overall difference in logs and metrics and when to best utilize each.

Kubernetes is first and foremost an orchestration engine that has well-defined interfaces that allow for a wide variety of plugins and integrations to make it the industry-leading platform in the battle to run the world's workloads. From machine learning to running the applications a restaurant needs, you can see that just about everything now uses Kubernetes infrastructure. All these workloads, and the Kubernetes operator itself, produce output that is most often in the form of logs.

When it comes to centralizing logs to Elasticsearch, the first log shipper that comes to mind is Logstash. People hear about it even if it’s not clear what it does: – Bob: I’m looking to aggregate logs – Alice: you mean… like… Logstash? When you get into it, you realize centralizing logs often implies a bunch of things, and Logstash isn’t the only log shipper that fits the bill.
