Elasticsearch 7.14 introduces match_only_text, a new field type that can be used as a drop-in replacement for the text field type in logging use cases with a much lower disk footprint, leading to lower costs. Elasticsearch is attractive for log analysis thanks to its ability to index log messages. Want to count how many log messages contain access denied in the last 24 hours?

Today, we are happy to announce three major improvements that will make it easier to integrate your systems and applications with the Elastic Stack. First, we are launching the generally available (GA) release of our Elastic Agent, which is a single, unified agent for both observability and security. A unified agent will simplify data onboarding with fewer things to configure and install.

How close can CSPs come to realizing the zero touch network vision, and what are the best next steps for getting there? To discuss this question Anodot brought together a panel of experts, including Kim Larsen, CTIO of T-Mobile Netherlands; Ira Cohen, co-founder of Anodot and the company’s chief data scientist; Fernando Elizalde, analyst at GSMA Intelligence; and moderator Justin Springham.

For many CSPs, increasingly complex networks and immature technological solutions result in a typically long time to the detection and resolution of incidents that impact the customer experience, the brand’s reputation, and the bottom line. With RAN, Mobile and IP core, transport and applications and dozens of other integrated components, the network is one of the most complex areas to monitor.

The global pandemic has changed B2C markets in many ways. In the U.S. market alone in 2020, consumers spent more than $860 billion with online retailers, driving up sales by 44% over the previous year.eCommerce sales are likely to remain high long after the pandemic subsides, as people have grown accustomed to the convenience of ordering online and having their goods – even groceries – delivered to their door.

We recently introduced a new Map graph type into InfluxDB Cloud to help users visualize time series data that includes position. Above is a graph showing the most recent earthquakes in California, where the color of the marker indicates their magnitude. In this post, I’m going to walk through the ways to ingest geotemporal data into InfluxDB Cloud, and how to use the new Maps visualization type.

Hiya! Our Elasticsearch team is continually improving our index Lifecycle Management (ILM) feature. When I first joined Elastic Support, I quickly got up to speed via our Automate rollover with ILM tutorial. I noticed after helping multiple users set up ILM that escalations mainly emerge from a handful of configuration issues. In the following sections, I’d like to cover frequent tickets, diagnostic flow, and common error recoveries. All commands shown can be run via Kibana’s Dev Tools.
