Apr 3, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Docker containers continuously generate logs during operation, and without proper management, these logs can consume significant disk space, impact system performance, and create operational issues. Logrotate offers an effective solution for managing these logs in containerized environments. This guide covers the implementation of logrotate in Docker containers – from initial setup through advanced configurations that ensure stable, maintainable container deployments.

Announcing BYOC and the OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder

Apr 3, 2025 By Ryan Goins In ObservIQ
Instead of deploying a patchwork of proprietary agents for every platform, a telemetry pipeline lets you route your data through a single, consistent layer—and send it to any backend you choose. Flexibility, achieved. But there’s a catch. If your pipeline is proprietary, you’ve only shifted the lock-in left. Sure, you can now add or swap destinations freely—but you’re still deeply dependent on a vendor in the middle of your data flow.

When Should You Enable Trace-Level Logging?

Apr 2, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
There’s nothing like debugging a broken system at 2 AM, running on caffeine and frustration. When everything’s on fire, logs are your lifeline. That’s where trace-level logging comes in. Unlike standard logs, it captures the step-by-step execution of your code—think of it as the difference between a crime report and full CCTV footage. But more logs don’t always mean better debugging. Too much detail, and you’re drowning; too little, and you’re guessing.

Webinar: Petabyte Scale, Gigabyte Costs: Mezmo's ElasticSearch to Quickwit Evolution

Apr 1, 2025 By Mezmo In Mezmo
Many engineering teams rely on ElasticSearch for search and analytics, but as data volumes grow, so do the challenges of scale, cost, and performance. At Mezmo, we faced this reality head-on, recognizing the need for a more efficient and scalable solution to support our multi-cluster, multi-petabyte telemetry data backend. After extensive evaluation, we made the leap to Quickwit, an open-source, cloud-native search engine for logs. But making such a fundamental architectural shift—without disrupting customers—was no small feat.
