Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a modern approach to designing distributed systems with loosely coupled components. EDA has gained popularity in many industrial applications due to its flexibility, performance and scalability. This article offers a comprehensive overview of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), explaining its key components and the patterns used. I’ll also cover the use cases of EDA and the benefits and challenges of implementing it.

One of the most important events you should be monitoring on your network is failed and successful logon events. What comes to most people’s minds when they think of authentication auditing is OS level login events, but you should be logging all authentication events regardless of application or platform. Not only should we monitor these events across our network, but we should also normalize this data so that we can correlate events between these platforms.

Can you believe we’re already halfway through 2023? Time flies when you’re busy innovating and having fun (yet somehow also seems so slow when you are waiting for your next vacation!!). At Cribl, we’ve been hard at work releasing wave after wave of incredible new features and capabilities across our entire product suite.

Today I want to talk about metric queries. More specifically, I want to talk about an important concept that is going to make your queries run faster, give you more accurate results, and make your Grafana Loki operators (like me) much happier. A metric query in Loki looks like this: And the part I want to talk about is that at the end. Now, if you’re like me and have a short attention span and are already bored — I understand.

Cloud monitoring tools are utilized to gather an extensive range of metrics and logs from cloud resources and services. Some commonly monitored metrics include CPU utilization, memory usage, network traffic, disk I/O, latency, and response time. By monitoring these metrics, among others, it becomes possible to gain insights into resource utilization, identify performance bottlenecks, and ensure that the infrastructure operates according to expectations.

For a game to provide the best user experience, certain elements come into play. These factors can be hardware components in the user’s computer, like the CPU and GPU, operating system settings, or specific game settings. In fact, if there’s misalignment between these components and a game’s intensity, performance issues can crop up. The most common performance issues in gaming include frame rate drops, input lag, stuttering, rendering issues and network latency.

The popularity of open-source log management tools has been on a steady rise in recent years. As businesses become increasingly reliant on software applications and cloud-based services, logging has become an essential part of operations. Log management is a crucial process for organizations to collect, store, and analyze log data. Businesses can troubleshoot problems, identify security threats, and optimize system performance by effectively managing log data.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of migrating from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch. OpenSearch is aan open-source search and analytics suite that is compatible with Elasticsearch. There are several reasons why people choose to migrate, such as taking advantage of new features or differences in governance. In the following sections, we will discuss version compatibility considerations, and guide you through the migration process.

In the ever-evolving world of search engines, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and Solr have long held the spotlight. However, there are several smaller search platforms that pack a punch and offer compelling alternatives. In this article, we will explore 11 small search platforms, delving into their major features, pros, and cons.
