Deleting Fields with BindPlane OP

Are you ingesting unnecessary fields? See how to use the "Delete Fields" processor to remove fields from your log stream in BindPlane OP. Then use our live preview capabilities to see the changes prior to rolling out to your agents. About ObservIQ: observIQ brings clarity and control to our customer's existing observability chaos. How? Through an observability pipeline: a fast, powerful and intuitive orchestration engine built for the modern observability team. Our product is designed to help teams significantly reduce cost, simplify collection, and standardize their observability data.

When Two Worlds Collide: AI and Observability Pipelines

In today's data-driven world, ensuring the stability and efficiency of software applications is not just a need but a requirement. Enter observability. But as with any evolving technology, there's always room for growth. That growth, as it stands today, is the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) with observability pipelines. In this blog, we'll explore the idea behind this merge and its potential.

Exploring & Remediating Consumption Costs with Google Billing and BindPlane OP

We’ve all been surprised by our cloud monitoring bill at one time or another. If you are a BindPlane OP customer ingesting Host Metrics into Google Cloud Monitoring, you may be wondering which metrics are impacting your bill the most. You may have metrics enabled that aren’t crucial to your business, driving unnecessary costs. How do we verify that and remediate?

BindPlane OP Architecture Overview

In this overview we dive into the BindPlane architecture focusing on the two main components. 1) BindPlane OP Server: acts as a orchestration layer that all of your agents are connected to giving you visibility into what is happening. 2) BindPlane Agent: is a distribution of the OpenTelemetry collector, sitting on your edge nodes collecting your telemetry data or acting as an aggregator (or gateway node) collecting from other edge devices and then routing to your destinations.

Splashing into Data Lakes: The Reservoir of Observability

If you’re a systems engineer, SRE, or just someone with a love for tech buzzwords, you’ve likely heard about “data lakes”. Before we dive deep into this concept, let’s debunk the illusion: there aren’t any floaties or actual lakes involved! Instead, imagine a vast reservoir where you store loads and loads of raw data in its natural format. Now, pair this with the idea of observability and telemetry pipelines, and we have ourselves an engaging topic.

Integrating BindPlane Into Your Splunk Environment Part 2

Often it can be a challenge to collect data into a monitoring environment that does not natively support that data source. Bindplane can help solve this problem. As the Bindplane Agent is based on OpenTelemetry (and is also as freeform as possible), one can bring in data from disparate sources that are not easily supported by the Splunk Universal Forwarder.

BindPlane Agent Resiliency
