OpenTelemetry 1.0 (Otel) is finally here (in fact, 1.0.1). The announcement brings the industry closer to a standard for observability. OpenTelemetry v1.0.1 will focus solely on tracing for now, but work continues on integrations for metrics and logs. We are still a long way off from this vision becoming reality. Metrics today are in beta, and this is where the community focus is being applied. Logging is even earlier in its life lifecycle.
The HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller publishes two sets of logs: the ingress controller logs and the HAProxy access logs. After you install the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller, logging jumps to mind as one of the first features to configure. Logs will tell you whether the controller has started up correctly and which version of the controller you’re running, and they will assist in pinpointing any user experience issues.
Link Analysis is a data analysis approach used to discover relationships and connections between data elements and entities. This is a very visual and interactive technique that can be done in the Splunk platform – and is almost always driven by a person, an analyst or investigator, to understand the data and discover necessary insights specific to the business problem at hand.
Today, we are launching a new Grafana Labs product, Grafana Enterprise Logs. Powered by the Grafana Loki open source project for cloud native log aggregation, and built by the maintainers of the project, this offering is an exciting addition to our growing self-managed observability stack tailored for enterprises.
PromQL, short for Prometheus Querying Language, is the main way to query metrics within Prometheus. You can display an expression’s return either as a graph or export it using the HTTP API. PromQL uses three data types: scalars, range vectors, and instant vectors. It also uses strings, but only as literals. This intro will provide basic PromQL examples and concepts to understand as you get used to Prometheus queries.
