Everything You Need to Know About Event Logs

Your code passes locally, CI is green, and the deploy goes through. Then production throws a 500, and the trace isn’t helpful. And here, event logs help. A log captures timestamped records of what the app did HTTP requests, DB queries, cache misses, retries, failures.

Could your Palo Alto firewall do more to protect you against Shadow AI?

In recent months, my conversations with fellow technology leaders have consistently revolved around two key themes: how we leverage AI to drive innovation and efficiency, and how we mitigate the inherent risks associated with AI. However, I’ve noticed a concerning gap – while enterprises are busy strategizing the adoption of AI to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and outpace competitors, very few are addressing how AI is being actively used today by their own teams.

Fluent Bit Helm Chart: Simplify Log Collection in Kubernetes

Collecting logs in Kubernetes often starts as a simple goal, and quickly turns into a game of “where did that log line go?” Between sidecars, DaemonSets, and countless config options, it’s easy to get lost.
