Data platforms — or databases with sets of APIs for flexibly working with data — are quintessential backbones for those who rely heavily on being able to change how they obtain data and work with their data over time. A good data platform will provide you the necessary tools to glean the insights you need to solve tangible problems. That platform should also hopefully make it so you don’t have a bad time doing it!

Today, I’m happy to share more about our partnership and commitment to our users that they will have the best possible experience of both Elasticsearch and Grafana, across the full breadth of Elasticsearch functionality, with dedicated engineering from both Grafana Labs and Elastic. Through joint development of the official Grafana Elasticsearch plugin users can combine the benefits of Grafana’s visualization platform with the full capabilities of Elasticsearch.
Splunk is a fantastic platform for ingesting, storing, searching and analysing data from logs, metrics and traces from a massive variety of sources. But does that mean we should ignore all of that data that doesn’t fall into these categories, like image and video data for example? Of course not!
For the 7.10 release of Elastic Workplace Search, we highlighted some of the new analytics logging capabilities and took you through a short walkthrough of some sample analysis scenarios.
