Recently Amazon launched Open Distro for Elasticsearch, a distribution of Elasticsearch with a number of additional features. The project was created out of concern that Elasticsearch was starting to include proprietary features, and that Elastic was straying from its open source roots.
We are pleased to announce the release of Ingest Budgets, a new feature which enables our users to track and control how much data is ingested into Sumo Logic and avoid overages in environments where data ingestion can spike unexpectedly. With Ingest Budgets, users can create budgets with ingestion thresholds that either cap data ingestion to a daily limit or simply alert whenever the threshold is exceeded.
So you have a Grafana dashboard that shows failures at 0.01% and that latency is down throughout the company. But rather than get a pat on the back, “your boss’s boss is saying cut the crap or stop the mumbo jumbo.

One of the world’s leading bed banks – a wholesaler of hotel allocations to B2B and B2C clients – recently experienced a surge in bookings. Great news, right? Not really. A glitch caused room prices from one of their hotel suppliers to drop from $100+ per night to JUST $8. Imagine how much this glitch could have cost them if left unchecked.
Glitches happen. Even to the best of us. And rather than promote others’ misfortune, we created this list to highlight the importance of anomaly detection – and as a warning against denial. Because if it can happen to the world’s most-recognized companies, it can certainly happen to you.
The pace in which new releases of the Elastic Stack are being rolled out is breathtaking. Just two weeks after Elastic Stack 6.7 was announced, versions 7.0 of Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash and Beats have been released full of new features and improvements.
