A Simplified Guide to Implementing Full-Stack Observability

After the craziness of the last few years, who can blame IT, DevOps, and operations teams for wanting more stability in their personal lives and jobs? Yet the message from the top isn’t in line with this: Gartner reports over 94% of CEOs aim to accelerate pandemic-era digital transformation and are investing 5.1% more into IT budgets. This means threading a delicate balance between stability and scalability.

Observability, Meet Natural Language Querying with Query Assistant

Engineers know best. No machine or tool will ever match the context and capacity that engineers have to make judgment calls about what a system should or shouldn’t do. We built Honeycomb to augment human intuition, not replace it. However, translating that intuition has proven challenging. A common pitfall in many observability tools is mandating use of a query language, which seems to result in a dynamic where only a small percentage of power users in an organization know how to use it.

Code Instrumentation in Cloud Native Applications

Cloud native is the de facto standard approach to deploying software applications today. It is optimized for a cloud computing environment, fosters better structuring and management of software deployments. Unfortunately, the cloud native approach also poses additional challenges in code instrumentation that are detrimental to developer productivity.

Kentique - The Fragrance of Observability

What does observability smell like? For ages, humans have relied on sight to observe network, cloud, container, and data center traffic. Kentik is proud to usher in the next step in the evolution of network observability. Welcome to the age of scent! Introducing Kentique, a new fragrance from the creators of Kentik. Whether managing network infrastructure in the server room or entertaining guests at an AWS re:Invent afterparty, you need to smell the part – an aromatic infusion of routers, clouds, clusters, and telemetry dancing in a symphony of observability.

RCA Series: Root Cause Analysis in Observability with Elastic AIOps (2/4)

Root cause analysis empowers you to prevent issues from recurring that were revealed by your monitoring IT systems and online applications including eCommerce sites. See Elastic engineers walk you through applying four AIOps capabilities and accelerate MTTR by automatically categorizing logs, explaining log rate spikes, visually inspecting anomalous components in their context, and correlating slow or failed transactions with potential root causes.

Setting Up a Grafana Destination with BindPlane OP

BindPlane OP makes it easy to route your data to the correct destination. In this example see how we use a metric instance id, an API key, and zone from Grafana to setup the destination and ensure data is flowing.#telemetry #opensource #observability #grafana About ObservIQ: observIQ is developing the unified telemetry platform: a fast, powerful and intuitive next-generation platform built for the modern observability team. Rooted in OpenTelemetry, our platform is designed to help teams reduce, simplify, and standardize their observability data.
