Logs are crucial for understanding what's happening in your system, but they can often be hard to make sense of. Log parsing is the key to turning raw, unstructured data into something useful. In this blog, we'll explore the basics of log parsing, its importance, and how it helps you extract valuable insights from your logs without all the clutter.

The rapidly growing interest in AI has raised a corresponding demand for specialized cloud compute that is built to run training and inference workloads in a cost-efficient and performant manner. Google Cloud Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) have become a popular accelerated compute solution for AI/ML workloads.

So, you’ve got a PostgreSQL database packed with juicy data, and you want to turn those raw numbers into slick, interactive Grafana dashboards? Good call! Grafana’s PostgreSQL datasource is like the secret handshake that lets you visualize your data in style—no extra ETL magic required. In this guide, we’ll walk through getting PostgreSQL and Grafana to play nice, covering everything from connection settings to query tuning.

We’re thrilled to introduce Personal Message Notes, a new feature designed to enhance the way you document and manage critical communications. With this feature, users can now add private annotations to messages—offering space to add context, follow-up actions, and reminders that are visible only to the user and system administrators.

It’s been a busy month at StatusGator HQ as we focused on improvements to the status page — one of many features that helps you communicate the status of all your cloud services to your stakeholders. Here’s a quick recap of this month’s updates. Let’s take a look at what we’ve rolled out! As a reminder, you can see all these updates here on the blog as they are released or in our product update sidebar inside StatusGator.

Since its early startup beginnings in Amsterdam, Booking.com has redefined the travel industry, establishing itself as a premier platform for millions of travelers worldwide. With over 28 million accommodation listings and a staggering 1.5 million room nights booked every day, Booking.com operates on a scale that demands a robust and constantly monitored infrastructure.

We’ve overhauled the search backend that powers the Item List UI and Item Search API. Item Search is now far more powerful, working with custom fields and nearly all the data you send Rollbar. Searches return quickly and return the results you'd expect.

When writing CFEngine policy we create files ending in the.cf extension but this alone won’t cause the policy to be parsed and evaluated. By default cf-agent runs ${sys.inputdir}/promises.cf. For a non-privileged user running cf-agent this will be in their $HOME directory.

In our last blog post we talked about how you can use Intel QAT with Canonical Ceph, today we’ll cover why this technology is important from a business perspective – in other words, we’re talking data storage costs. Retaining and protecting data has an inherent cost based on the underlying architecture of the system used to store it.

As enterprises migrate to hybrid cloud environments, they face mounting pressures to manage complexities while cutting costs. Many turn to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to streamline IT service delivery and drive results faster. For MSPs, this is both an opportunity and a challenge: the surge in hybrid cloud adoption, an explosion of observability tools, and rising operational costs push them to act decisively.
