Coming in 7.7: Significantly decrease your Elasticsearch heap memory usage

As Elasticsearch users are pushing the limits of how much data they can store on an Elasticsearch node, they sometimes run out of heap memory before running out of disk space. This is a frustrating problem for these users, as fitting as much data per node as possible is often important to reduce costs. But why does Elasticsearch need heap memory to store data? Why doesn't it only need disk space?

Using AI to Autonomously Monitor Your Subscription Payment Model

There’s no question that subscription-based businesses are an incredibly popular revenue model in today’s economy. While single transaction revenue models tend to fluctuate due to the seasonality of markets, subscription plans offer much more consistent and predictable revenues.

The good news is, with machine learning doing even more work on your behalf, you don’t need to be a data scientist to use these advanced capabilities.

Glitch List: April 2020

Even though most of us have spent this month working from home or furloughed due to COVID-19, glitches certainly haven’t been taking a break. We’re still relying on intricate software systems to keep the world moving, and we have little ability to maintain them in person. What’s more, changing usage patterns have stressed global networks in ways that are hard to anticipate. As a result, we find ourselves in a perfect storm for technical outages.

Store and Show Raw Log Lines

LogDNA is adding the ability to store and view raw lines, allowing customers to debug with logs in their unaltered form. If you’ve ever looked at your logs and noticed that the timestamp was different than what you expected, it is usually due to a long latency between the event and processing time of the logs. Depending on the size of the latency, we may update the log timestamp to order them accurately and to provide a cleaner and more intuitive search experience.
