Like all organizations, Elastic deals with an ever-increasing volume of information and data, making it harder for our teams to keep information up to date and for employees to find answers from relevant resources. As a leading Search AI company, our approach to customer-first starts with customer zero — us. When our employees needed a better way to find the information necessary to do their jobs, we knew we could use our own technology to bring that vision to life.

AWS VPC flow Logs and Azure NSG flow Logs offer network traffic visibility with different scopes and formats, but both are essential for multi-cloud network management and security. Unified network observability solutions analyze both in one place to provide comprehensive insights across clouds.

A critical component of any monitoring and observability system is alerting. But alerts in and of themselves aren’t enough—when something goes wrong, time is of the essence, and your team needs to figure out not just what’s going on but how to fix it, and fast. Additionally, constantly chasing down alerts can be the bane of any observability practitioner’s existence.

Serverless architectures are the rental tux of computing. If you’re using AWS to manage and scale your underlying infrastructure, you’re renting compute time or storage space. Your Lambda functions are the tie or cummerbund you purchase to customize your rental. Using the AWS event-driven architecture improves business agility, allowing you to move quickly. Lambda is the on-demand compute services that runs custom code driving an event’s response.

Cribl Edge can send data to OpenTelemetry in several different ways. In this blog post, we’ll focus on the OpenTelemetry Metrics. In the blog, we’ll talk about Cribl Edge, but what we say applies to Cribl Stream, too! We will cover how to use Cribl Edge to collect Linux System Metrics, transform them into the OTLP Metrics format, and deliver them to an OTLP Destination.

SNMP, which stands for Simple Network Management Protocol, is often viewed as a legacy protocol, with SNMP not being actively worked on anymore, which led to both Microsoft and Google pronouncing that SNMP was dead. Yet, SNMP is still commonly used by numerous industries as the advantages of SNMP, especially for network monitoring, are profound. Practically, all network components across all vendors possess built-in SNMP capability.
