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.

Using Practical Alerting to Stay on Top of Teams Call Quality - Part 2

Running your business using Teams isn’t without its challenges. We already did a post here about some of the Microsoft Teams alerts IT teams need to be alerted to sooner rather than later. But, because of how complex large Teams setups are, we’ve got a few more to add to the collection. Today, we’re focusing on the Microsoft-specific challenges you might face.

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.

RCA Series: Accelerate security investigations w/ machine learning and Elastic (3/4)

Comprehensive security requires multiple layers of threat protection. Sophisticated threats exploit idiosyncrasies in your environment. Unsupervised machine learning identifies patterns of normal activity from your data, and therefore can catch attacks that standard approaches to threat hunting, such as pre-defined rules, are likely to miss. This video explains how machine learning adds a layer to your threat protection, and how interactive tools offered in the Elastic Security solution accelerate the investigation of security incidents.

RCA Series: Root Cause Analysis in Manufacturing, Electric Grids & Connected Devices (4/4)

With digitization adopted in many industries, real-time data from manufacturing and operational equipment can be used to monitor and optimize operation - by applying data-driven modeling including machine learning. Learn how you can ingest sensor data from industrial processes and operational equipment into Elastic, build monitoring dashboards and set up automated alerts in Kibana, and apply predictive modeling to optimize your operations (OT).

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.
