Open source log management tools in 2024

Log management tools provide visibility into the performance and behavior of systems, applications, networks, and infrastructure components. By collecting and analyzing logs, you can monitor for anomalies, track trends, and identify potential issues before they escalate. Choosing the right log management solution requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure that it meets your specific needs and goals. Here are the most popular open source log management tools to help you choose.

If You Are an API and You Know It..

The API economy is taking over the world of data exchange. They are everywhere, from tech companies to grocery chains. With massive growth, security, and observability are a concern since creating the right telemetry is often an afterthought, and companies do not understand the scope of the issue till they are breached or have performance issues.

How to Search Your Cloud Data - With No Data Movement

Organizations are building data lakes and bringing data together from many systems in raw format into these data lakes, hoping to process and extract differentiated value out of this data. However, if you’re trying to get value out of operational data, whether on prem or in the cloud, there are inherent risks and costs associated with moving data from one environment to another.

5 Proactive Security Engineering Techniques for Cloud-Native Teams

Developing a proactive security strategy can potentially save an organization millions of dollars per year. According to IBM, the average cost of a data breach in 2023 added up to a staggering $4.45 million, up 15% over the last three years. This is especially true for cloud-native environments, which face unique security challenges due to their dynamic nature. Instead of waiting to respond to cybersecurity incidents after they happen, it's much better to embrace a proactive approach, and prevent them in the first place.

Charting New Territory: OpenTelemetry Embraces Profiling

The topic of continuous profiling has been an ongoing discussion in the observability world for some time. I said back in 2021 that profiling was set to be the next major telemetry signal in observability, and in fact, since then there’s been growing interest in profiles. Startups and large observability vendors have gotten into this domain. A significant recent step was when the OpenTelemetry project decided to add profiles to its core signals and formalized the open unified specification for that.

Completing the Kubernetes Monitoring Puzzle

Kubernetes has changed the way many organizations approach the deployment of their applications. But despite its benefits, the additional layers of abstraction and reams of data can cause complexity around Kubernetes monitoring. We’ve seen so much of these challenges borne out in the results of the 2024 Observability Pulse survey. In the survey report, 36% of respondents say Kubernetes poses a challenge, and just 10% of organizations say they have full observability into their environments.

Advantages of an AI-Powered Observability Pipeline

The expenses associated with collecting, storing, indexing, and analyzing data have become a considerable challenge for organizations. This data is growing as fast as 35% a year, multiplying the problems. This surge in data comes with a corresponding rise in infrastructure costs. These costs often force organizations to make decisions about what data they can afford to analyze, which tools they must use, and how and where to store data for long-term retention.

Continual Learning in AI: How It Works & Why AI Needs It

Like humans, machines need to continually learn from non-stationary information streams. While this is a natural skill for humans, it’s challenging for neural networks-based AI machines. One inherent problem in artificial neural networks is the phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting. Deep learning researchers are working extensively to solve this problem in their pursuit of AI agents that can continually learn like humans.

Data Chaos MUST Be Curbed, but How?

My introduction to the world of data science was writing anomaly detection for a SIEM that catered to banks and credit unions. Some of these places were running on 50-year-old IBM core banking servers — meaning that someone trying to turn off a light in a server room could take down an entire bank with a literal flip of the wrong switch. While some companies take their time updating infrastructure, others still embody the move-fast-and-break-things philosophy of the early dot-com era giants.

The Ultimate CPU Alert - Reloaded, Again!

It’s been nearly ten years since “The Ultimate CPU Alert – Reloaded” and its Linux version were shared with the SolarWinds community. At that time, managing CPU data from 11,000 nodes, with updates every five minutes to a central MSSQL database, was a significant challenge. The goal was to develop alerting logic to identify when a server was experiencing high CPU usage accurately.
