It is essential to configure log rotation for Docker containers. Log rotation is not performed by default, and if it’s not configured, logs on the Docker host can build up and eat up disk space. This guide will teach us how to set up Docker log rotation. Logs are an essential piece of telemetry data. Logs can be used to debug performance issues in applications.

Infrastructure is a complex and difficult concept for developers. When an issue occurs, where do you even begin to look? I’ve spent years of my life playing the “What looks like one but not like the other” game, wrestling with confirmation bias and hunting through haystacks of logs to find a clue to my hosted applications. This takes away from time spent improving my applications—and it isn’t fun.

When troubleshooting distributed applications, you can use Cloud Trace and Cloud Logging together to perform root cause analysis.

In this livestream, Ahmed Kira and I provided more details about the Cribl Stream Reference Architecture, which is designed to help observability admins achieve faster and more valuable stream deployment. We explained the guidelines for deploying the comprehensive reference architecture to meet the needs of large customers with diverse, high-volume data flows. Then, we shared different use cases and discussed their pros and cons.

A career in platform engineering means becoming part of a product team focused on delivering software, tools, and services.

For retailers and ecommerce store owners, your bottom line is always affected whenever your service is down, due to today's consumers expecting their digital interactions to operate around the clock. This is particularly crucial during spikes in traffic due to sales, like Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

In today’s contemporary landscape, organizations produce more data than ever, which needs to be collected, stored, analyzed, and retained, but not necessarily in that order. Historically, most vendors’ analysis tools were also the retention point for that data. Still, while this may first appear to be the best option for performance, we have quickly seen it creates significant problems.

Like physical architecture, the architecture running your business data — any and compute-intensive AI projects — is important. This data architecture governs a very important part of your business: how well users can translate raw information into real knowledge and actionable insights. Today, your data architecture is getting perhaps more attention than ever before. And that’s all thanks to usable AIs that now exist.

The modern IT landscape consists of many distributed systems, which can pose a challenge if you are responsible for the end-to-end performance of these systems. As a platform engineer today, that is exactly what the job requires. You must juggle between dozens of tools to meet SLAs. This is why a modern solution is needed to bridge the gap between disjointed infrastructure and application stacks…and this is why the Splunk Observability platform was born.

Here we go again! Multimodal AI is the “next big thing” in artificial intelligence technology. But what exactly does multimodal mean, and how does it differ from the AI models we’ve all grown familiar with? Let’s take a look.
