Guide to Crontab Logs - How to Find and Read Crontab Logs

Crontab logs are records of scheduled tasks (or "cron jobs") that are executed by the cron daemon on Unix-like operating systems such as Linux. These logs provide details about the tasks that have been run, when they were executed, whether they completed successfully, and any errors or issues that occurred during their execution. This detailed guide will cover all aspects of crontab logs, from fundamental concepts to advanced strategies for optimization.

Strategies For Reducing Observability Costs With OpenTelemetry

Keeping smooth and safe operations now relies entirely on observability. But as there's more and more data to keep track of, the costs are going up. This makes it hard for your companies to balance how well things are running and their budgets. OpenTelemetry can help by making a standard way to collect and process all the data. We're going to share how OpenTelemetry can save you money on observability and why having too much data can be costly.

Top 5 New Relic Competitors & Alternatives in 2024 [Including Open-Source]

While New Relic has long been a popular choice for Application Performance Monitoring (APM), the tech landscape has brought forth several compelling alternatives. This guide provides an in-depth look at the top New Relic competitors and alternatives including open-source, comparing their features, strengths, and use cases to help you make an informed decision for your organization's needs.

The Evolution of Engineering and the Role of Observability 2.0 in Shaping the Future

Engineering has come a long way since the days of delivering discrete, point-in-time products that were often packaged on a CD and shipped to customers. The days of physical media and long development cycles are long gone. The advent of cloud computing and the rise of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) transformed the landscape, creating a new model of continuous development and service delivery. This shift has not only revolutionized how software is developed, but has also redefined the engineer’s role.

Enhance digital resilience through observability

As digital demands grow, so does the pressing need to move to AI and cloud integrations. This is the state for SMEs in Australia who wish to boost agility and responsiveness. These complexities often come with a package of challenges that include increasing costs, security risks, and scalability issues. A recent white paper from ManageEngine addresses this.

How Data Observability is Transforming Modern Enterprise

Modern enterprises are more dependent than ever on data. That's why it's more important than ever for organizations to ensure that their data is accurate, reliable, and easily accessible. Data observability is a modern method that helps achieve this. It involves real-time monitoring of data to detect unusual patterns. By doing so, it ensures data quality and reliability, which boosts operational efficiency and governance.

Getting Started With Refinery: Rules File Template

Sampling is a necessity for applications at scale. We at Honeycomb sample our data through the use of our Refinery tool, and we recommend that you do too. But how do you get started? Do you simply a set rate for all data and a handful of drop and keep rules, or is there more to it? What do these rules even mean, and how do you implement them? To answer these questions, let’s look at a rules file template that we use for customers when first trying out Refinery.
