Yesterday we were excited to announce Logz.io Distributed Tracing, the most recent addition to our Cloud-Native Observability Platform. This is such a special launch for us because it makes Logz.io the only place where engineers can use the best open source monitoring tools for logs, metrics, and traces – known as the ‘three pillars’ to observability – together in one place.

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Elastic 7.10. This release brings a broad set of new capabilities to our Elastic Enterprise Search, Observability, and Security solutions, which are built on the Elastic Stack — Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash. 7.10 delivers significant new capabilities to market, transforming the way in which our customers and users can trade off cost, performance, and depth of data with searchable snapshots.

Today was a monumental day for Logz.io and our entire community. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing how people use the technology we’ve built to enhance their businesses. At ScaleUP 2020, our first ever global user conference, we hosted an exciting day of technical, customer-led sessions with our community. We also had the privilege of unveiling some ground-breaking new solutions and enhancements to our end-to-end cloud-native observability platform.

ManageEngine’s Log360 was recently honored with the CybersecAsia Award for the Best User and Entity Behavior Analytics software application.

Open-sourcing a code base for the world to see after working on it for a long time is a great experience. You should care about what your users want. You want your users to have a great experience using your product. Everything has to fall into place. Performance, responsiveness, user experience, etc. all have to be exceptional. That’s why I think front-end performance metrics are crucial.

Grafana Tempo, the recently announced distributed tracing backend, relies on integrations with other data sources for trace discovery. Tempo’s job is to store massive numbers of traces, place them in object storage, and retrieve them by id. Logs and exemplars allow users to quickly and more powerfully jump directly to traces than ever before. Let’s dig into some examples with a live playground to try it out!
