Navigating Software Engineering Complexity With Observability

Jun 27, 2024 By Rox Williams In Honeycomb
In the not-too-distant past, building software was relatively straightforward. The simplicity of LAMP stacks, Rails, and other well-defined web frameworks provided a stable foundation. Issues were isolated, systems failed in predictable ways, and engineers had time to innovate on new features for the business. And it was good.

Unify your OpenTelemetry and Datadog experience with the embedded OTel Collector in the Agent

Jun 26, 2024 By Lutao Xie In Datadog
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open source, vendor-neutral observability solution that consists of a suite of components—including APIs, SDKs, and the OTel Collector—that allow teams to monitor their applications and services in a standardized format. OTel defines this data via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), a standard for the encoding and transfer of telemetry data that organizations can use to collect, process, and export telemetry and route it to observability backends, such as Datadog.

Oberservo AI Demo Natural Language Searchable Data Lake

Jun 26, 2024 By Observo.ai In Observo.ai
In this demo first shown at Splunk.conf24, we look at the data-lake creation feature of Observo. Data is stored in the parquet format - a open columnar format. We also support searching the data-lake based on natural language search - under the hood this functionality uses LLM for text to SQL functionality. Use the rehydrate function to send any subset of data to the analytics platform of choice, on-demand. Consider keeping a smaller Splunk index, and use the lake for retention - retain more data, longer, for a lot less cost, all in a flexible format.
