Feb 29, 2024 By Perry Correll In Cribl
It’s not new news that organizations are producing more data than ever. But, in order to take advantage of this data, it needs to be collected, stored, retained, and then, at some point, analyzed. Most analysis tools also act as the retention point for this data. While this may (at first) appear to be the best option for performance, it quickly creates significant problems. First, those systems were never designed for the scale of today’s growing volume of data, currently at a 28% CAGR.

Average size of a webpage matters because it correlates with how fast users get to your content. People today have grown to expect good performance from the web. If your website takes more than 2.5 seconds to load, your users will probably never return to you again. Further, the more data your webpage needs to download, the longer it will take—particularly on slow mobile connections.

5 Hidden Costs of Over-Sensitive Monitoring Systems in Incident Management

Feb 20, 2024 By Kaushik Thirthappa In Spike
Monitoring systems are invaluable for detecting incidents before they spiral into catastrophes. However, there's a hidden danger lurking within even the most robust monitoring setups: false alarms. When systems are overly sensitive, they raise alerts for incidents that don't actually exist. While this may seem harmless on the surface, hyper-sensitive monitoring can quietly drain time, money, and morale in ways that only become apparent over time.
