How to Optimize Costs and Strengthen IT with Teneo's Deep Observability

Teneo understands that it can be hard to balance cost and depth of observability in todays fast-paced digital landscape, where organizations face the challenge of managing increasingly complex IT infrastructures while keeping costs under control. Achieving this balance requires a new approach, this is why we have developed our Open Observability platform, a critical component of Teneo’s StreamlineX framework.

Kubernetes Monitoring and Alerting Made Easy with Splunk Observability Cloud and OpenTelemetry

In this video, I'll show you how to quickly setup monitoring and alerting for your Kubernetes clusters using Splunk Observability Cloud. We’ll start by deploying the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector using Helm, and then use the Kubernetes Navigator inside Splunk Observability Cloud to view the health of our cluster and the applications it’s hosting. I’ll demonstrate AutoDetect detectors and alerts by intentionally triggering an issue in the cluster and walk through the alerting process. We’ll review the alerts in Splunk Observability Cloud and then resolve the issue in the cluster.

Why Observability 2.0 Is Such a Gamechanger

One of the hardest parts of my job is to get people to appreciate just how much of a difference Honeycomb/observability 2.0 is compared to their current way of working. It’s not just a small step up or a linear improvement. Rather, it’s an entire step change in the way that you write, deploy, and operate software for your customers.

Keeping Spending in Check: Observability's Positive Impact on Cost Management

Tool sprawl within organizations doesn’t just create a fragmented user experience; it poses a real threat to enterprises’ bottom lines. Consider these statistics: This fragmentation significantly limits worker productivity. IT leaders spend hundreds of hours trying to manage multiple tools, map their environments, and upkeep aging systems that are either outdated or simply no longer necessary.

Streamlining Telemetry with Apica's Fleet Management Solution: A Deep Dive

In the rapidly evolving IT environment, observability at scale has become a critical challenge for organizations aiming to maintain operational excellence. The proliferation of telemetry collection agents across diverse infrastructures often increases complexity, resource strain, and configuration inconsistencies.

Booking.com's Journey to Enhanced Observability

Since its early startup beginnings in Amsterdam, Booking.com has redefined the travel industry, establishing itself as a premier platform for millions of travelers worldwide.

Monitoring database exposure on Kubernetes and VMs

This week, security researchers at Wiz published a report about an internal database at DeepSeek being exposed to the internet. This kind of security risk is surprisingly common and can affect any company. The only way to prevent it is through continuous monitoring. But in modern infrastructures, services can be exposed in many different ways, making detection tricky. At Coroot, we realized that the telemetry data we already collect can help identify these risks — without requiring any extra setup.

Realizing the business value of OpenTelemetry-native observability

Transform your organization's observability strategy with open standards and simplified data collection Modern organizations face an unprecedented observability challenge. As systems grow more complex and distributed, traditional monitoring approaches are struggling to keep pace. With data volumes doubling every two years and systems spanning multiple clouds and technologies, organizations need a new approach to maintain visibility into their operations.
