REST vs CRUD

Nov 2, 2021 By LogicMonitor In LogicMonitor
CRUD and REST are two of the most popular concepts in the Application Program Interface (API) industry. REST was made to standardize the HTTP protocol interface between clients and servers and is one of the widely used design styles for web API. On the other hand, CRUD is an acronym used to refer to the four basic operations executed on database applications. Because both work on manipulating databases’ data, it’s easy to see why people have some confusion between them.

What Is an OTEL Collector?

Oct 27, 2021 By Khyati Gandhi In LogicMonitor
The primary goal of OpenTelemetry (OTEL) is to offer vendor-neutral ways of application instrumentation such that customers are able to switch between Telemetry backends. There are three main components of OpenTelemetry: OpenTelemetry SDK, OpenTelemetry API, and OpenTelemetry Collector. In this blog, we will be covering the architecture, deployment, and best practices of consuming an OTEL collector.

Logs for Ops

Oct 7, 2021 By Patrick Sites In LogicMonitor
The evolution of machine data and logging in general has shifted multiple times over the last couple of decades. The log began with Unix and was rooted in command line actions like tail or grep. It evolved from system-based logs to application-based logs and eventually became more UI-friendly and readable. Not only has the log itself evolved, but the purpose of the log and audience for the log has morphed over time as well.

The More You Monitor: What Are the Three Pillars of Observability?

Sep 17, 2021 By LogicMonitor In LogicMonitor
A common way to discuss observability is to break it down into three types of telemetry: metrics, traces, and logs. These three data points are often referred to as the three pillars of observability. In this episode of The More You Monitor Product Manager, Chris Sternberg, breaks down the three pillars of observability and how they can help you gain better control and visibility of your infrastructure, applications, and networks. It’s important to remember that although these pillars are key to achieving observability, they are only the telemetry and not the end result.
