The Power of AI in Network Monitoring

As per a survey by Comcast Business, around 85% of IT leaders trust AI networking tools for meeting their organization’s goals. This stat alone is enough to show how big of a role AI is playing in network monitoring. And it’s just the beginning, with rapid development in Artificial Intelligence, we might see a lot more sophisticated AI use cases for network monitoring. But how exactly does AI help in network monitoring? What its roles, benefits, challenges, and how to implement it?

Enrichment: Better Data in for Better Response Times Out

In this conversation, Cribl’s Carley Rosato talks to Aflac’s Shawn Cannon about his role as a Threat Management Consultant, and how he manages their SIEM environment, brings in new data as needed, and works to improve the ingestion process. Our customers are always coming up with new and exciting ways to implement Cribl tools — importing a 34 million-row CSV file into Redis and enriching events in Splunk might be one of the most impressive we’ve seen so far.

OpenTelemetry Overview

Monitoring distributed systems means collecting data from various sources, including servers, containers, and applications. In large organizations, this data distribution makes it harder to get a single view of the performance of their entire system. OpenTelemetry helps you streamline your full-stack observability efforts by giving you a single, universal format for collecting and sending telemetry data. Thus, OpenTelemetry makes improving performance and troubleshooting issues easier for teams.

Understanding the difference between OpenSearch and Elasticsearch

Search is a fundamental requirement for anyone working with log files. When you have terabytes and petabytes of data, you need to find answers to questions – fast. The search engine that you choose sits as the cornerstone for any technology that helps you look for the information needed to answer questions. While OpenSearch and Elasticsearch may have similar beginnings, their modern iterations have significant differences.

LLM Monitoring and Observability

Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced artificial intelligence models designed to comprehend and generate human-like language. With millions or even billions of [parameters, these models, like GPT-3, excel in natural language processing, understanding context, and generating coherent and contextually relevant text across various applications.

In this workshop we’re going to look into how web fonts cause layout shifts and explore a few strategies of loading web fonts without causing big layout shifts.

Data Profiling The Secret Map of Your Telemetry Data Landscape

As data volumes proliferate and costs of data grow, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find the signal in all the noise. Telemetry data -- metrics, logs and traces -- are key to making sound, data-driven decisions, troubleshooting systems issues and maintaining uptime, but it's easy to get overwhelmed. Data profiling shows you exactly where your good data is coming from, how to save what's relevant and discard what's not and slash your data management and storage expenses.
