Rest Assured, Cribl's Improved Webhook Can Now Write to Microsoft Sentinel

As version 4.0.4, we are excited to announce the capability of Cribl’s webhook to write to any destinations and APIs that requires OAuth including Microsoft Sentinel. Cribl has long supported OAuth in many destinations through native integrations but with the enhanced Webhook we can now write to any destination that require OAuth authentication.

DevOps Pulse 2023: Increased MTTR and Cloud Complexity

Evolving DevOps maturity, mounting Mean-Time-to-Recovery (MTTR), and perplexing cloud environments – all these factors are shaping modern observability practices according to approximately 500 observability practitioners. While every organization faces its unique challenges, there are broadly impactful trends that arise.

Increasing Implications: Adding Security Analysis to Kubernetes 360 Platform

A quick look at headlines emanating from this year’s sold out KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe underlines the fact that Kubernetes security has risen to the fore among practitioners and vendors alike. As is typically the case with our favorite technologies, we’ve reached that point where people are determined to ensure security measures aren’t “tacked on after the fact” as related to the wildly-popular container orchestration system.

Now you can forward logs to external endpoints from within the Console!

Our aim, like always, is to help users thrive. We want them to receive real value from all that we deliver through our various features. And it’s equally important to offer flexibility by providing all different ways to use those features. This way, you’re free to use the feature in the way that's most convenient. Driving this vision of ours, well, forward, we have now extended our Logs Forwarding experience from CLI to within the Console.

Plan better and preempt bottlenecks with predict for metrics

Nothing is certain in this world except for death, taxes, and that you will eventually run out of disk space. You may have used our unique predict operator to query logs and forecast future values (we’ve even heard of customers predicting their ingest volume for Sumo Logic log data to better forecast their usage and budget!) — and wanted to do the same with metrics. With the recent general availability of the predict for metrics operator, you can.

OpenTelemetry-powered infrastructure monitoring: isolate and fix issues in minutes

The process of building and maintaining modern, cloud-based applications requires a new approach to infrastructure monitoring. Traditionally, engineers would try to isolate a specific infrastructure component causing an issue — and fix it alone, without diving into code. Today, DevOps engineers must understand how application performance is related to their infrastructure. Infrastructure, for DevOps engineers, is an enabler to deploy code.

Reducing Your Splunk Bill With Telemetry Pipelines

With 85 of their customers listed among the Fortune 100 companies, Splunk is undoubtedly one the leading machine data platforms on the market. In addition to its core capability of consuming unstructured data, Splunk is one of the top SIEMs on the market. Splunk, however, costs a fortune to operate – and those costs will only increase as data volumes grow over the years. Due to these growing pains, technologies have emerged to control the increasing costs of using Splunk.

Optimizing Your Splunk Experience with Telemetry Pipelines

When it comes to handling and deriving insights from massive volumes of data, Splunk is a force to be reckoned with. Its ability to index, search, and analyze machine-generated data has made it an essential tool for organizations seeking actionable intelligence. However, as the volume and complexity of data continue to grow, optimizing the Splunk experience becomes increasingly important. This is where the power of telemetry pipelines, like Mezmo, comes into play.
