You have more data coming at you than ever before. Over the next five years, the total amount of digital data is going to be more than twice the amount of data created since the advent of digital storage. With the success of your company often determined by how you anticipate and respond to threats – and leverage meaningful insights – you need the ability to quickly search and find insights in your data, despite this increasing deluge of information.

As businesses shift to a digital-first environment, cloud computing will play a dominant role in delivering greater flexibility and faster innovation. In a recent report by Deloitte, nearly 90% of US-based senior decision makers proclaim cloud to be the cornerstone of their digital strategy. Covid accelerated cloud migration initiatives, with no signs of slowing down. Gartner forecasts worldwide end-user spend on public cloud services will grow by 20.4% in 2022 to a total of $494.7 billion.

The Core Splunk platform is rightfully recognized as having sparked the log analytics revolution when viewed through the lenses of ingest, search speed, scale, and usability. Their original approach leveraged a MapReduce approach, and it still stores the ingested data on disk in a collection of flat files organized as “buckets.” These immutable buckets are not human-readable and largely consist of the original raw data, indexes (.tsidx files), and a bit of metadata.

The Exoprise marketing team sat down with their CEO, Jason Lieblich, to discuss predictive analytics, market trends, and the technology’s usage in troubleshooting network issues.

Developers are always trying to improve the reliability and performance of their software, while at the same time reducing their own costs when possible. One way to accomplish this is edge computing and it’s gaining rapid adoption across industries. According to Gartner, only 10% of data today is being created and processed outside of traditional data centers.

Elastic App Search allows developers to bring the power of Elasticsearch to mobile apps in a pretuned search experience. When parsing body text, the App Search crawler extracts all the content from the specified website and spreads it in fields depending on the HTML tags it finds. Text within title tags are assumed as title field, anchor tags are parsed as links, and body is parsed as one giant field with everything else.

Smart energy IoT platforms are empowering consumers to track energy usage and even control spend based on their next bill’s forecast. Yet eSoftThings, a specialist in the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), set out to push smart energy management even further, for both consumers and utility companies, through its IoT platform eSoftLink.

We are excited to share that Anodot’s Cloud Cost Management solution has been named a Challenger and Fast Mover in the 2022 GigaOm Radar for Evaluating Financial Operations (FinOps) Tools report.

We are back with a simplified configuration for another critical open-source component, Hadoop. Monitoring Hadoop applications helps to ensure that the data sets are distributed as expected across the cluster. Although Hadoop is considered to be very resilient to network mishaps, monitoring Hadoop clusters is inevitable. Hadoop is monitored using the JMX receiver. The configuration detailed in this post uses observIQ’s distribution of the OpenTelemetry collector.

If you’re an InfluxDB user you might be considering migrating your workload to InfluxDB Cloud. You probably want to free yourself from the responsibilities associated with managing and serving your OSS account. Perhaps you are finding that you simply cannot scale your OSS instance vertically to meet your needs. Maybe you want to use all of the Flux functions that are available to you in InfluxDB Cloud.
