Collecting Windows telemetry with Elastic: An introduction to the ETW Filebeat input
In the world of security, being able to use system telemetry of Windows hosts opens new possibilities for monitoring, troubleshooting, and securing IT environments. Recognizing this, Elastic has introduced new capabilities focused on Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) — a powerful Windows-native mechanism for capturing a vast array of system and application events. With these new additions, Elastic users can capture, analyze, and visualize Windows telemetry using the Elastic Search AI Platform.
Leveling up your observability practice - Part 1
Lessons from the front lines: Moving to observability maturity What separates the observability experts from the novices? It's a question that's been on my mind lately, especially after diving into our recent 2024 State of Observability Survey of over 500 practitioners. In my past roles as a DevOps engineer and a site reliability engineer (SRE), I've seen firsthand how a mature observability practice can be the difference between sleepless nights and smooth sailing.
Mastering Tail Sampling for OpenTelemetry: Cost-Effective Strategies with Cribl
Recently, I have seen a trend of enterprises moving toward OpenTelemetry (OTel) for application tracing. Tail sampling, in particular, has emerged as a preferred approach to gain actionable insights while balancing data volume and cost. OpenTelemetry offers developers and practitioners the ability to instrument their code with open-source tools, moving away from vendor-provided tools for application instrumentation.
Rethinking Security: Why Organizations are Flocking to Microsoft Sentinel
We’ve been steadily building strong momentum with Microsoft over the past year, and the latest step forward is a significant one: Cribl solutions are now available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. But why this focus on Microsoft Azure? The answer lies in what customers are prioritizing and discussing with us.
Understanding Ubuntu Logs
Linux, Debian, and Ubuntu are the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy of modern application development. The Captain Kirk, Linux, is the open-source central code for directing and talking to hardware. Debian sits as the trio’s Spock, the original distro that can be seen as more complex to install and use. As a Debian child distro, Ubuntu is the McCoy, helping to heal the challenges that people have when trying to use Debian.
What is a Log File? Types Explained with Examples
If you’ve ever spent hours trying to figure out what went wrong in your code, you know how frustrating it can be without a clear trail to follow. Logs give you that trail, showing the steps your system took before something broke. Think of stack traces, they’re helpful for showing you where an error occurred. But they don’t always explain how it occurred. That’s where logs come into place.

The new era of observability - why logs are the key to success
The promise of observability has always been clear: ensure system health, quickly identify and resolve issues efficiently. However, traditional observability, broken into metrics, logs, and traces, is cumbersome and fragmented, leading to higher costs and developer burnout.
