Streamlining Data Management for Enterprise Security | SpyCloud

In this customer story, Ryan Sanders, lead security engineer at SpyCloud, shares his experience using Cribl to centralize and store data for account takeover protection and online fraud prevention. Ryan discusses the challenges he faced in managing data across multiple platforms and the solutions Cribl provided. Cribl acts as the Swiss Army knife for observability engineers, empowering them to collect data from various sources and perform custom integrations.

Modernizing your APM solution with a unified observability platform

DevOps can get complete visibility into application performance and various components of web application using application performance monitoring (APM). And APM insights depend on how well you can observe your application stack, using comprehensive metrics, distributed traces, and detailed logs. Join our webinar to learn how Site24x7's APM Insight offers in-depth visibility to troubleshoot performance issues and provide reliability to your app users around the world.

VictoriaMetrics bolsters move from monitoring to observability with VictoriaLogs release

Today we’re happy to announce our new open source, scalable logging solution, VictoriaLogs, which helps users and enterprises expand their current monitoring of applications into a more strategic ‘state of all systems’ enterprise-wide observability. Many existing logging solutions on the market today offer IT professionals a limited window into live operations of databases and clusters.

Using the Elastic Agent to monitor Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate with Elastic Observability

AWS Fargate is a serverless pay-as-you-go engine used for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) to run Docker containers without having to manage servers or clusters. The goal of Fargate is to containerize your application and specify the OS, CPU and memory, networking, and IAM policies needed for launch. Additionally, AWS Fargate can be used with Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) in a similar manner.

What Observability-Driven Development Is Not

At Honeycomb, we are all about observability. In the past, we have proposed observability-driven development as a way to maximize your observability and supercharge your development process. But I have a problem with the terminology, and it is: I don’t want observability to drive your development.

Why Observability is Better with a Storage-less Architecture

In today’s data-driven world, the need for comprehensive observability has never been greater. Organizations rely on observability to gain insights into their systems’ and applications’ performance, availability, and behavior. However, the traditional approach to observability, which involves ingesting, processing, and storing massive amounts of data, is becoming increasingly challenging and expensive.

Cloud Native Application Observability - Trace-Logs Correlation

There is a brand new feature for Cloud Native Application Observability (formerly known as AppDynamics Cloud) that will reduce the effort it takes to resolve performance issues within business transactions. We are improving modern application troubleshooting by aligning traces that are performing sub-optimally with their associated logs so one can effortlessly discover the root cause. Watch how we quickly identify poor-performing business transactions, their associated traces, and spans, to the relevant logs pertinent to fixing performance issues, never having to switch tools or the context.

OpenTelemetry Security: How To Keep Telemetry Data Safe

Organizations implementing observability in their digital services architecture should be familiar with OpenTelemetry (OTEL) framework. While our OTEL guide provides an in-depth examination of the benefits of this open-source framework, the potential security challenges with OpenTelemetry warrant a separate guide.
