The latest News and Information on Log Management, Log Analytics and related technologies.
Do you SPL? Well, if you do, you probably either already know about the job inspector, or you’re about to. Either way, you probably don’t know enough. Don’t worry though, that’s all about to change. There are a few different aspects of the job inspector that everyone should be familiar with. These include the execution costs, the search job properties, and the search.log. I’m going to walk us through these areas, and some others, and their importance.
A few days ago, I tried ordering lunch from a local restaurant. I went online, spent time looking at their menu, chose a few items, clicked “submit” and… got an error message. This experience is not unique. Earlier this week, when I tried to read the news, I got a message saying they’re experiencing a technical issue. You can see both messages below: We’ve all experienced such situations, and they can be very frustrating.
Stormshield and SonicWall are popular firewalls used to monitor network traffic for malicious actors. Firewalls can help detect all kinds of attacks, like brute force logins, DDoS, and SQL Injection, but they just make up a piece of the security puzzle. Most teams will have many other security tools that address different kinds of vulnerabilities and attacks.
It's safe to say that It's safe to say that Kubernetes is the de facto standard for orchestrating containers and the applications running in them. As the standard, a variety of managed services and orchestration options are available to choose from. In this blog post, we're going to take a look at running the Elastic Stack on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) using Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) as the operator.
When it comes to DevOps, Splunk has a lot to say at .conf20. There’s a lot to digest from new product names to introducing new products to create a complete observability experience. We announced the Splunk Observability Suite, which creates a seamless workflow across monitoring, investigation and troubleshooting tasks. We also extended our portfolio with Splunk Real User Monitoring, which provides front end engineers better insights into performance.
The Elastic Stack (ELK) has been used for observability and security for many years now, so much so that we now offer the two as out-of-the-box solutions. However, identifying issues and finding the root cause is only part of the process. Often, organizations want to integrate the Elastic Stack into their everyday workflows so they can resolve those issues quickly. This typically involves integrating with some form of ticketing/incident tracking framework.
At Splunk, we've been leading the way in observability and helping accelerate the adoption of the OpenTelemetry project. With the trace specification reaching a stable maturity level and several SignalFx Gateway and client library capabilities being upstreamed, we're ready to go all-in while we continue accelerating the growth and adoption of OpenTelemetry beyond the commitments we made last year.
