In our previous post, we discussed the question: 'What is Azure Monitor and how does it work?' and also covered the two types of data it stores, at a high level. In this part, we will get ourselves started with Azure Monitor Logs. More specifically, we'll discuss how Logs are collected by Azure Monitor or, in other words, what options you have to add data sources to Azure Monitor so you can display that data in a way that makes sense to you.

Design applications to be modular. It’s a software design best practice. Modular programming is writing multiple independent programs that perform a single function but work together to achieve an overarching outcome. The benefit to this design is the smaller parts can be easily created and tested. New functionality can be slipped into the larger whole without interfering with other functions.

Meet Stackdriver Logging, a gregarious individual who loves large-scale data and is openly friendly to structured and unstructured data alike. Although they grew up at Google, Stackdriver Logging welcomes data from any cloud or even on-prem. Logging has many close friends, including Monitoring, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage and all the other Google Cloud services that integrate with them. However, recently, they are looking for a deeper relationship to find insight.

While the Capital One breach may have been jaw-dropping in its sheer scale, there are best practice lessons to be learned in its remediation response, says Nick Carstensen, technical product evangelist at Graylog.

With almost all deployed software systems consisting of multiple moving parts, it’s hard to find arguments against centralized aggregation of log entries. Deployment technologies like lightweight virtualization, Kubernetes, and serverless computing tend to spread out the components of a system across a large number of runtime primitives. Gaining visibility into the state and history of such systems is as important as ever but can also be more difficult than ever.

We are excited to announce that Elastic will offer free, monitored Elastic Endpoint Security to the 2020 US presidential and congressional campaigns in partnership with Defending Digital Campaigns. Defending Digital Campaigns (DDC) is a non-partisan organization that provides low- and no-cost security products and services to federal campaigns to help defend them from cyberattacks and election interference.

Our Data-to-Everything vision is to bring data to every question, decision and action—blockchain data is no exception. Part of making that vision a reality is getting data into Splunk where you can start to investigate, monitor, analyze and act in order to turn data into doing.

It is imperative for organizations to monitor performance, security and stability of their blockchain integrations. Splunk makes it easy to achieve this observability, not just with blockchain but with all enterprise infrastructure. Our customers have told us this is simply a necessity for getting to production and also makes application development faster. Based on Ethereum, Quorum is an open source blockchain platform built for business and backed by strong partnerships such as J.P.

Microservices constantly change in containerized environs, making pod or node identification and their logging more of a challenge. Autodiscover simplifies monitoring movements in these sorts of environments—places like Kubernetes and Docker. Autodiscover allows you to track pods and adapt settings as changes happen in your environment.

We highly recommend that all App Search users keep their deployments up to date with the latest available version to have access to new features, security updates, and performance improvements. This guide is designed to help customers through the upgrade process, to minimize the impact of an upgrade on production environments, and to ensure data safety during an upgrade. Finally, the guide helps App Search users troubleshoot any issues that may occur during an upgrade.
