Full Overview: Reducing Web Server Logs (ex.NGINX)

Working with web servers such as NGINX, you know they’re efficient but can generate a lot of log data. While this data is valuable, sorting through it can be a challenge, and the storage and processing costs can quickly add up. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through refining an NGINX log data stream using BindPlane OP. We’ll dive into how to extract valuable metrics and reduce log volume by filtering out unnecessary logs. By the end of this, you’ll be able to navigate your log analysis process more efficiently, saving time⏳and money💰.

Synthetics and Service Watch Dashboards

Combining Service Watch and CloudReady synthetics is easy to do and extremely powerful. Quickly pinpoint where the issues are occurring and skip the troubleshooting where the issues aren't which will speed up their resolution time, saving your organization money and time. Combining this information will also provide your app owners a quick and thorough view into how the user experience is going and how the application is performing in general. When issues do occur, they’ll have all the information available making it easy to prove the vendor is at fault and recover SLA credits

Querying InfluxDB Cloud with the Java Flight SQL Client

InfluxDB Cloud 3.0 is a versatile time series database built on top of the Apache ecosystem. You can query InfluxDB Cloud with the Apache Arrow Flight SQL interface, which provides SQL support for working with time series data. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of querying InfluxDB Cloud with Flight SQL, using Java. The Java Flight SQL Client is part of Apache Arrow Flight, a framework for building high-performance data services.

The Most Reliable Educational Platform (LMS) for Schools and K-12 in 2023

To understand the reliability of the popular learning management systems (LMS), we analyzed incident and outage reports from the official status pages for Seesaw, Blackboard, Canvas by Instructure, PowerSchool, Nearpod, and Google Classroom over a one-year period.

A gentle introduction to XDP

XDP, or eXpress Data Path, is a Linux networking feature that enables you to create high-performance packet-processing programs that run in the kernel. Introduced in Linux 4.8 and built on extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), XDP provides a mechanism to process network packets earlier and faster than is possible through the kernel’s native network stack. In this post, we’ll discuss.

Head in the Clouds: Data Value and Versatility with Splunk Cloud Platform

Data search and ingestion is cost-effective on the Splunk Cloud Platform. With workload pricing, you can measure the resources or computing capacity needed for different workloads versus the amount of ingested data. Yep, you could say that Splunk Cloud is all that and a bag of chips.

How to Reduce the Volume of NGINX Logs

If you’ve worked with NGINX web servers, you know they’re efficient but can generate a lot of log data. While this data is valuable, sorting through it can be a challenge, and the storage and processing costs can quickly add up. This is where BindPlane OP comes in. It helps reduce log volume while still preserving the crucial information. It streamlines your data, filters out the irrelevant bits, and zeroes in on key data points, helping manage storage and keep costs under control.
