Coralogix Releases eBPF Observability for K8s Workloads

There are several big barriers to an effective tracing strategy. Modern applications require complex code instrumentation, and legacy applications might not be so easy to alter, and that’s assuming every engineering team can be engaged to make the necessary changes. eBPF & OpenTelemetry flip this entire problem on its head, and Coralogix is one of the first major observability platforms to leverage this exciting functionality, to provide an unobtrusive, low risk overview of your system.

How Azure Observability Optimizes Performance and Monitoring

Observability in Azure isn’t just about tracking metrics—it’s about truly understanding how your cloud infrastructure, applications, and services are performing. It helps you spot issues before they become problems, optimize performance, and ensure security. In this guide, we’ll break down Azure Observability in a way that’s easy to follow, covering key concepts, best practices, and some useful tricks to give you an edge.

Frontend Monitoring: Deliver Seamless and Performant User Experiences

88% of online consumers are less likely to return to a site after a bad user experience. This means that addressing frontend issues such as slow load times, broken features, and unresponsive elements is crucial. Frontend monitoring helps development and IT teams proactively catch and resolve these issues to improve their user experience.

Why observability needs FinOps, and vice versa: the Vantage integration with Grafana Cloud

Ben Schaechter is co-founder & CEO of Vantage, a cloud cost management platform that provides actionable insights for every engineer. Observability tools have changed the way we monitor infrastructure and applications, as teams get complete visibility into performance across complex, multi-cloud environments. But as all that infrastructure scales, costs rise with it, and organizations are left to ask: Where are my costs going—and why?

Beyond monitoring: The power of observability

The demand for seamless user experiences and robust system reliability is at an all-time high, and businesses are racing to meet these expectations. But as system complexity increases, traditional monitoring tools are falling short. Observability offers a paradigm shift. It goes beyond tracking metrics and provides deep insights to understand the “why” behind system behavior by parsing and contextualizing unstructured data.

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.

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.

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.
