Today, Sumo Logic is proud to announce that we have released 11 brand new Google Cloud Platform (GCP) applications to the existing Sumo Logic App Catalog.

Boston and Tel Aviv–July 19, 2018–Logz.io, the leading provider of AI-powered log analysis, announces the release of its intelligent log analysis platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. The Logz.io platform is the first and only ELK solution offered on the AWS Marketplace, giving AWS customers worldwide access to powerful capabilities for extracting actionable insights from machine data.

Today we are releasing Graylog v2.4.6 to fix a few bugs.

Kubernetes is developing so rapidly, that it has become challenging to stay up to date with the latest changes (Heapster has been deprecated!). The ecosystem around Kubernetes has exploded with new integrations developed by the community, and the field of logging and monitoring is one such example.

Traditional logging solutions require teams to provision and pay for a daily volume of logs, which quickly becomes cost-prohibitive without some form of server-side or agent-level filtering. But filtering your logs before sending them inevitably leads to gaps in coverage, and often filters out valuable data.

Juraj Kosik, an Infrastructure Security Technical Lead at Deutsche Telekom Pan-Net, has written a detailed case study of how his organization implemented Graylog to centralize log data from multiple data centers exceeding 1 TB/day. His case study provides thorough insights into real-world issues you might run into when implementing and operating a log management platform in a large-scale cloud environment.

Centralized log management lets you decide who can access log data without actually having access to the servers. You can also correlate data from different sources, such as the operating system, your applications, and the firewall. Another benefit is that user do not need to log in to hundreds of devices to find out what is happening. You can also use data normalization and enhancement rules to create value for people who might not be familiar with a specific log type.

With millions of downloads for its various components since first being introduced, the ELK Stack is the world’s most popular log management platform. In contrast, Splunk — the historical leader in the space — self-reports 15,000 customers total. But what exactly is ELK, and why is the software stack seeing such widespread interest and adoption? Let’s take a deeper dive.

We’re all collectively trying to define observability (“o11y,” pronounced “olly”) these days, and, as Honeycomb is sometimes described as an event-based observability product, trying to define all the other words that go around o11y at the same time.

Getting the right information at the right time can be a difficult task in large corporate IT infrastructures. Whether you are dealing with a security issue or an operational outage, the right data is key to prevent further breakdowns. With central log management, security analysts or IT operators have a single place to access server log data. But what happens if the one log file that is urgently needed is not collected by the system?
