You’ve probably been in this situation before – you’re using Icinga to monitor your infrastructure and Icinga detects a critical issue but nobody notices it. It might be an urgent maintenance request, an unexpected breakdown, or a service quality issue. But your technicians or service engineers are neither in the control room nor in front of the dashboard to see the issue and its urgency.
This July, we launched The State of Digital Operations, which sheds light on the volume of real-time work, its growth over time, and how that increasingly burdens technical teams.
The Query Data API is a Honeycomb Enterprise feature. With a Honeycomb Enterprise account, you can use this API today. Head over to our API docs to learn how to get access to your data. If you aren’t yet a Honeycomb Enterprise user, try it out by requesting an Enterprise Trial. Starting today, Honeycomb Enterprise customers can use the Honeycomb Query Data API to programmatically run queries and retrieve their results, and pull query results into any data visualization tool of their choice.
At ElasticON Global 2021, Tanya Bragin, VP Product, Observability, and the Elastic Observability team showed how ongoing innovations continue to deliver actionable insights and faster root cause detection, reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR). The adoption of cloud, microservices, and ephemeral infrastructure is driving increased complexity, requiring an observability solution to provide end-to-end visibility.
At ElasticON Global 2021, we shared a future view of Elastic Enterprise Search and how we’re continuing to build next-generation, machine learning-powered search experiences backed by the speed, scale, and relevance of Elasticsearch. We also highlighted the many ways we plan to keep building even more flexibility into our solutions.
Germany has been called The Land of Data Protection and Security and we as a German company have been asked from the start, do you have EU based servers? And we can finally say YES we do. Our Europe based servers are now generally available, they are specifically located in Frankfurt Germany, so if you’re a European company you can enjoy keeping your (and your customer’s) status page data in the most privacy minded state.
Some things just go better together. Like barbeque and blues, sunsets and beaches, cheese and fine wine — hey, even software and superheroes go better together! That’s why in this blog we are going to look at why IT Operations and Observability just go better together, through a superhero analogy. Enter the Dark Knight himself — Batman! He will represent observability. IT Operations will be represented by Lucius Fox.
Every workday you open your laptop or start your desktop, and you wait. For some, that wait is a mere blip in the day, a few seconds, for others that wait can seem interminable. A few months ago, our engineering team set out with the task of exploring what variables really impact a slow device performance. During the course of their research, the team uncovered answers to very specific questions like: What is the average startup time for a work device? (Hint: it’s less than five minutes).
There’s an old saying that “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” Unfortunately, this doesn’t ring true when it comes to data breaches and ransomware attacks. High profile security incidents continue to make headlines, and those headlines are impacting bottom lines. In response to these, the US federal government is modernizing its own cybersecurity infrastructure, and more state governments are implementing laws to protect citizens.
