Docker Compose Logs: Guide & Best Practices

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It allows developers to streamline the process of configuring, building, and running multiple containers as a single unit with a docker-compose.yml. This configuration file specifies the services, networks, and volumes required for an application, and their relationships and dependencies. The docker-compose logs command displays the logs of all services defined in the docker-compose.yml file.

Logs vs. Events: Exploring the Differences in Application Telemetry Data

What is the difference between logs and events in observability? These two telemetry data types are used for different purposes when it comes to exploring your applications and how your users interact with them. Simply put, logs can be used for troubleshooting and root cause analysis, while events can be used to gain deeper application insights via product analytics. Let's review some application telemetry data definitions for context, then dive into the key differences between logs and events and their use cases. Knowing more about these telemetry data types can help you more effectively use them in your observability strategy.

This query language standard aims to provide a unified way of querying observability data across logs, metrics, traces, and other relevant signals. The conversation shed light on the pressing need for a standardized approach to overcome the challenges posed by the plethora of query languages currently in use.

Data Independence Day: Taking Back Control of Your Data!

On July 4th we celebrate. We celebrate freedom of movement, freedom of assembly, removal of excessive taxation, and much, much more. But what about digital independence? Removing the tyrannical yoke of control over your observability data. Authoritarian vendors restrict access and movement; they dictate proprietary formatting and even limit what can be commingled with your data, then apply enormous tax burdens (i.e. license fees) just to store your data.
