In an era where industry standards are as dynamic as the data they govern, Cribl’s core value of putting ‘Customers First, Always’ drives us to stay ahead of the curve. It’s with immense pride and excitement that we announce our strategic partnership with Elastic. This alliance isn’t just a meeting of minds; it’s a bold stride towards a future where flexibility in data management isn’t just a luxury – it’s the standard.

Open Telemetry (OTel) is an open source observability framework that has garnered significant attention for its powerful capabilities in monitoring metrics, logs and traces.. It is second only to Kubernetes in the CNCF velocity chart with contributions being made from major players in the cloud industry, and has a growing community helping build out a thriving ecosystem.

When we began offering Grafana Cloud Metrics, we set a service level agreement (SLA) for 99.5% of requests to be completed within a few seconds. So we built an alert that would go off if more than 0.5% of requests were slower than a couple of seconds within a five-minute moving window. Sounds reasonable, right?
