Last week, Cribl launched the latest component of its observability architecture: Cribl Edge. ICYMI, Cribl Edge is a next generation observability data collector that greatly simplifies gathering your metrics, events, and logs. Edge incorporates all of the capabilities of Cribl Stream’s workers, allowing you to route, redact, filter, and enrich data directly from the source. Why is this important?
If you know anything about upholding the three pillars of observability for your business then you will know that centrally analysing and managing logs, metrics and traces is vital for improving how you observe the status of your business’s key infrastructure components.
In previous posts we covered why it’s important to monitor APIs and how to monitor and validate data from APIs. In this post we’ll focus on a simple but key feature that helps Splunk Synthetic Monitoring users create robust checks for availability, response time, and multi-step processes: Request Headers
In a recent episode of the Cloud Happens podcast, Archana Venkatraman, Associate Research Director in Cloud Data Management at IDC Europe talks about how the cloud isn’t a destination. It’s a continuum; a journey. In this blog, we explore that idea a bit more and dive into what really encapsulates a cloud experience. How can modern enterprises benefit from their cloud journey to solve the most gnarly data challenges to unlock innovation, enhance security, and drive resilience.
Your senior leadership started stressing out about data breaches. It’s not that they haven’t worried before, but they’ve also started looking at the rising tide of data breach awareness. Specifically, they’re starting to see more new security and privacy laws passed at the state and federal levels.

Users of open-source log collectors and log monitoring solutions often preferred these solutions due to them being well suited for speed, flexibility and their ability to attract talented contributors who are willing to invest time to maintain technology projects they are passionate about. In this post, we’ll look at some of the best free and open-source logging tools out there today.
Searching and visualizing logs is next to impossible without log parsing, an underappreciated skill loggers need to read their data. Parsing structures your incoming (unstructured) logs so that there are clear fields and values that the user can search against during investigations, or when setting up dashboards. The most popular log parsing language is Grok. You can use Grok plugins to parse log data in all kinds of log management and analysis tools, including the ELK Stack and Logz.io.
The key challenge with modern visibility on clouds like AWS is that data originates from various sources across every layer of the application stack, is varied in format, frequency, and importance and all of it needs to be monitored in real-time by the appropriate roles in an organization. An AWS centralized logging solution, therefore, becomes essential when scaling a product and organization.
