Like all programming, scripting is a way of providing instructions to a computer so you can tell it what to do and when to do it. Programs can be designed to be interacted with manually by a user (by clicking buttons in the GUI or entering commands via the command prompt) or programmatically using other programs (or a mixture of both).

Since joining Cribl in July, I’ve had frequent conversations with Federal teams about observability data they collect from networks and systems, and how they use and retain this data in their SIEM tool(s). Cribl LogStream’s ability to route, shape, reduce, enrich, and replay data can play an invaluable role for Federal Agencies. Over several blogs, we will walk through the power that we bring to these requirements.

HAProxy is one of the most popular software around when it comes to load balancers and reverse proxies. When you’re using it for these purposes, it’s especially important to monitor for both availability and performance, which will impact your SLI and SLOs. In this post, we’ll talk about the main HAProxy metrics you should monitor and the best monitoring tools you can use to measure them.

If you manage a network, every network device generates a large volume of logs. These logs are extremely important and narrate a story about both events and the sequencing of those events within your network. This capability is critical for any network monitoring software, helping you easily understand network activities, user actions, security breaches, and much more.

Feature Highlights is a new addition to our ongoing series of webinars. As the name suggests, it’ll focus on specific product features with anonymized customer use cases taking center stage. In other words, how Cribl customers actually use the features to get the job done, sometimes in unintended ways. QuickConnect was the first act with a session “Streamline Connections w/ LogStream QuickConnect”.

Today, virtually everyone who manages infrastructure or applications relies on logging to understand what is happening within their environments. But some teams do logging better than others. Although there is no one right – or wrong – approach to log management, there are a variety of logging mistakes that engineers commonly make when deciding what to log, how to log it, and how to work with their log data.

ActiveMQ is a message-oriented middleware, which means that it is a piece of software that handles messages across applications. It acts as a broker that can help facilitate asynchronous communication patterns like publish-subscribe and message queues. The main goal of those servers is to create a scalable and reliable message bus that different components can use to communicate with each other.

Our customers rely on Splunk’s mobile apps when they are on-call and troubleshooting in high-stress situations. Splunk’s customer base includes 96 of the Fortune 100 , many of whom rely directly on Splunk’s mobile app to help them solve outages or large scale performance problems. Therefore, they need a reliable quality of experience they have with our products and services. My team and I work on two mobile apps at Splunk: 1.

Lambda is a top-rated compute service available on the AWS cloud service network. Its popularity largely derives from its ease of use, allowing users to run Lambda functions reliably without provisioning or managing servers. Lambda can be triggered manually or by any linked events in the AWS network, including DynamoDB streams, SQS, Kinesis, and more.

Since we introduced AppScope in 2021, we’ve been relentlessly working towards the production-ready milestone. Last week we released AppScope 1.0. It’s been a long haul getting to this point. Not really sure if it took this long because we solved difficult problems, or if we’re just that slow. Someone told me that what we are doing would go a lot faster if we use a modern high-level language. Maybe … Can you imagine doing this in TypeScript? Yeah, me either.
