In the previous blog in our root cause analysis with logs series, we explored how to analyze logs in Elastic Observability with Elastic’s anomaly detection and log categorization capabilities. Elastic’s platform enables you to get started on machine learning (ML) quickly. You don’t need to have a data science team or design a system architecture. Additionally, there’s no need to move data to a third-party framework for model training.

Technology drives so many aspects of our lives in today’s fast paced world. Keeping up with how technology helps us in our work and personal lives is challenging and it's sometimes unclear as to how to go about learning new technology skills to drive business resilience across an organization.

As fraud continues to grow in prevalence, SecOps teams are increasingly investing in fraud prevention capabilities to protect themselves and their customers.

By collecting and analyzing data from various sources, including server logs, network traffic, and user behavior, enterprise SecOps teams can identify patterns and anomalies in real time that may indicate fraudulent activity.

We’ve just recently completed KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023 in Amsterdam, one of the signature events of the year in the cloud native, open source and observability spaces. I was thrilled to be joined by Taylor Dolezal, the Head of Ecosystem for the hosting Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to discuss the insider happenings of KubeCon EU live from Amsterdam for the April 2023 OpenObservability Talks podcast.

Since day one, Cribl has been on a mission to give users more control and more value from their observability and security data. We had a feeling that putting customers first would be the key to unlocking that value, so “Customers First, Always” went at the top of the list when the time came to talk about company values.

Mezmo Telemetry Pipeline helps organizations Ingest, transform, and route telemetry data to control costs and drive actionability. Modern organizations are adopting telemetry pipelines to manage challenges with telemetry data (logs, metrics, traces, events) growth and to get the most value from their data investments.

As data science and data analytics become integral to our everyday lives, the demand for certifications in this field is at an all-time high. There are many different paths to pursue a certification in these areas — still, some stand out above the rest. In this blog post, we will explore the top 5 data science and analytics certifications that are essential for anyone looking to build a strong career in this field.

Event logging for Microsoft Windows provides a standard, centralized way for applications and the operating system to record important software and hardware events. The event-logging service (eventlog) stores events from various sources in a single collection called an event log. The system administrator can use the event log to help determine what conditions caused the error and the context in which it occurred. TechTarget have an excellent overview of Windows event logs available.

Avoiding vendor lock-in is a ‘must’ when it comes to working with new services. Those in ITOps, DevOps, or as an SRE also don’t want to be tied to specific vendors when it comes to their telemetry data. And that’s why OpenTelemetry’s popularity has surged lately. OpenTelemetry prevents you from being locked into specific vendors for the agents that collect your data.
