What I Wish I Knew Before Building My First OTel Collector

Starting your journey to build your first OTel Collector can be really exciting, but it can also feel a bit overwhelming. OpenTelemetry, or OTel, is an amazing tool that can help standardize the collection of observability data, but it's normal to feel a bit lost at first. There are lots of little details and best practices that can make the whole process easier, but many of us end up learning them the hard way.

Agents of Mass Collection: Cribl Edge Set-up and Tips

Collection agents emerged to alleviate the pain of having log files distributed around your application servers. However, they brought new problems since each log analysis tool wanted its own agent, trading in its own protocols and/or formats, usually targeting only a single use case. Meaning you had to install multiple agents for different use cases. Onboarding data and managing all these agents seems to be an afterthought.

Top PostgreSQL Monitoring Tools

PostgreSQL PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) and is one of the most popular relational databases with over 1.5 billion users. It’s renowned for its reliability, robustness, and comprehensive capabilities. It is capable of managing a broad variety of workloads, from small single-machine applications to large-scale enterprise databases.

Docker Log Rotation - Definition, Configuration Guide, and Best Practices

Docker containers generate logs to monitor their operations, but without a mechanism in place to manage these logs, they can grow indefinitely, leading to excessive disk space consumption and performance degradation. Implementing docker log rotation is crucial to control log file size and quantity, ensuring efficient log management and optimal system performance.

How to Integrate OpenTelemetry with Logit.io

When telemetry data (collected from system sources in observability) is analyzed collectively it provides insights into the relationships and dependencies within a distributed system. OpenTelemetry standardizes the collection and transmission of telemetry data to backend platforms, closing visibility gaps by offering a unified instrumentation format across all services.

How to Integrate Rust with Logit.io

Rust has claimed the title of ‘most desired programming language’ for the past 8 years in a row in StackOverflow’s annual developer survey. The language was created less than 20 years ago, yet when users work with Rust, they always seem to want to work with it again. This consistent growth in popularity has, in part, driven the need for effective monitoring practices, particularly Rust tracing.

4 benefits of observability

Achieving modern observability with a unified data platform and Search AI If you have a love-hate relationship with your data, we don’t blame you. It’s generated at high velocity and from all sides — your apps, endpoints, networks, and servers. By 2025, global data creation is projected to grow by more than 180 zettabytes.* Inside this wealth of data lies better operational resilience, profitability, and innovation.
