Happy New Year! We hope you had a relaxing and safe holiday season, but now it’s time to get back to work! This week we share articles on the UX of Loki, visualizing pull request data from BitBucket, monitoring and observability predictions for 2019 and more! Also, we’ll be making some exciting announcements for GrafanaCon in the coming days, so stay tuned and get your ticket now!
Loki and Grafana are a perfect match. The backend is kept lean and space-efficient, while the user interface allows ad-hoc field parsing and simple statistics. This post details some of the UX goals we had to deliver logs simpler and faster.
As 2018 draws to a close, we’d like to thank all of our readers for their support and feedback. We look forward to returning in 2019 and sharing more articles about Grafana and the open source monitoring community.
The Grafana Labs team converged on Seattle this week for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2018 where we announced a new Prometheus-inspired, open source logging project we’ve been working on named Loki. We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response and conversations it’s sparked over the past few days. Please give it a try on-prem or in the cloud and give us your feedback. You can read more about the project, our motivations, and check out the presentation in the blog section below.
This blog post is a companion piece for my talk at https://devopsdaysindia.org. I will discuss the motivations, architecture, and the future of logging in Grafana! Let’s get right down to it. You can see the slides for the talk here.
We’re excited to be speaking at and sponsoring KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2018 in Seattle next week and hope we get a chance to hang out. Swing by our booth to check out a new open source project we’ve been working on, and give us some feedback on Grafana and features you’d like to see.
Grafana v5.4 brings new features, many enhancements and bug fixes. This article will detail the major new features and enhancements.
Lots to catchup on this week after taking a break for Thanksgiving, so let’s dive in! This week we share the video from the ‘Logging is coming to Grafana’ talk, an article on how Stack Overflow tackles monitoring, a shout out from AWS re:Invent 2018, and a plugin preview for Timestream, Amazon’s new TSDB for IoT apps.
Quality assurance is a priority at Evolution Gaming, the world leader in live casino gaming, and as Andrejs Kalnacs, Lead Software Developer in Test, said during his GrafanaCon EU talk in March, Grafana has been a game changer. While Kalnacs and his team have found Grafana to be invaluable in many areas, here are three best practices they’ve learned throughout their journey.
