When it comes to IT automation, the choice between a service orchestration and automation platform like Resolve Actions or building your own automation engine or workflow tool is a pivotal decision. While each option presents its own set of strengths and considerations, Resolve Actions emerges as a powerful solution for organizations looking to streamline their automation efforts. Here’s why.

IT teams need immediate and automatic access to machine data and institutional knowledge to move faster and make the right decisions. And they need context to identify incidents and understand how to resolve them. AIOps enables this by transforming noisy and fragmented operations data into actionable insights. This is the foundation of full-context operations. Full-context operations combines observability and other machine-generated data with historical, expert, and institutional knowledge.

We are delighted to announce the alpha release of the Elastic OpenTelemetry Distribution for Node.js. This distribution is a light wrapper around the OpenTelemetry Node.js SDK that makes it easier to get started using OpenTelemetry to observe your Node.js applications.

AI-driven processes, including machine learning models and data processing, require significant computational resources which can lead to increased energy consumption and heightened operational costs. The complexity of these workloads, which often involve real-time data analysis and continuous model training, exacerbates the need for robust data center management.

Here at Mezmo, we see the purpose of a telemetry pipeline is to help ingest, profile, transform, and route data to control costs and drive actionability. There are many ways to do that as we’ve previously discussed in our blogs, but today I’m going to talk about real-time alerting on data in motion, yes - on streaming data, before it reaches its destination.

In the cloud-centric world of today, enterprises rely on highly available connectivity for access to public-facing Google Cloud apps, Google Workspace, or Google APIs. Some also need to access latency sensitive Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions, combining security and networking services on one cloud platform.

BGP Flowspec is one of the critical technologies gaining traction in DDoS mitigation strategies. In this article, Justin Ryburn outlines the adoption rates and best practices of this emerging and effective DDoS mitigation tool.

Modern, distributed application architectures pose particular challenges when it comes to coordinating incident management. DevOps, SREs, and security teams—often spread out across separate locations and time zones, and equipped with limited knowledge of each other’s services—must work quickly to collaboratively triage, troubleshoot, and mitigate customer impact.

We are excited to announce the release of Graylog 6.0, which brings updates across our entire product line!
