Open source contributions are foundational to Elastic — from Elasticsearch’s Apache Lucene core to the addition of open source Logstash and Kibana to form the Elastic Stack you’ve come to know and love. Over the years, the Elastic community has created over 90 Beats, shared use case tutorials like those from Volvo, T-Mobile, and Microsoft, and presented at hundreds upon hundreds of meetups.
Since we launched Canvas in 2018, we have seen tons of our users create beautiful dashboards that tell stories with Elasticsearch data. In the spirit of making it even easier to get started, we are creating templates that you can import and get instantly beautiful dashboards for all the data the Elastic Stack captures.
A fireside chat to discuss use cases and deployment tips for AIOps with observability generated a stream of compelling questions from attendees, which the Moogsoft hosts answered with depth and expertise.

It offers a range of additional features that—to a limited extent—address needs such as load balancing, access control, security policy enforcement, and even logging and monitoring. Indeed, Kubernetes’s broad functionality has led some folks to call it an “operating system” in its own right.
We recently changed the pricing of InfluxDB Cloud to let you control your cloud database spend so you spend only as much as you need to run your software and systems — with no wasted budget. If you just want a summary, check the InfluxDB Cloud pricing page. But if you’d like to nerd out on the changes we made, why we made them, and how to estimate your monthly spend on InfluxDB, then buckle up for a deep dive.
