For nearly a decade, Logz.io has offered a proven pathway for organizations using the world’s most popular open source tools to monitor and analyze their cloud systems—allowing them to enlist a far more efficient and cost-effective approach.
When we launched Pyroscope in 2021, we had one clear goal: Give developers a powerful open source continuous profiling tool for collecting, storing, and analyzing profiling data. Grafana Labs had a similar goal when they released Grafana Phlare, a horizontally scalable, highly available open source profiling solution inspired by databases like Grafana Loki, Grafana Mimir, and Grafana Tempo.
As you’d imagine, generative AI has been a huge topic here at Grafana Labs. We’re excited about its potential role in bridging the gap between people and the beyond-human scale of observability data we work with every day. We’ve also been talking a lot about where open source fits in — especially if that Google researcher is right and OSS will outcompete OpenAI and friends. What role can we play to bring the community along?
We are excited to announce the publication of our 2023 State of Calico Open Source, Usage & Adoption report! The report compiles survey results from more than 1,200 Calico Open Source users from around the world, who are actively using Calico in their container and Kubernetes environments. It sheds light on how they are using Calico across various environments, while also highlighting different aspects of Calico’s adoption in terms of platforms, data planes, and policies.
The dev world was on fire this weekend, as news of yet another major open-source project was revealed to be in the midst of an identity crisis. The unsettling trend is clear: hit a certain adoption threshold, and then swap the licensing in an attempt to turn dedicated fans into revenue streams. With more companies searching for a sustainable business model and attempting to appease shareholders, the only certainty we have is, what was free yesterday, might be paid tomorrow.
When you plan monitoring strategies, the first thing you need to consider is the characteristics of the target systems. Depending on the resources you want to monitor, you will have to apply different architectural designs such as data collection, metrics generation, visualization, refresh schedule, and more. When you want to monitor network systems, making these considerations will allow you to achieve the right monitoring solutions.
In today’s software development panorama, there's a philosophy which really stands out and continues to influence the thought processes of numerous creative minds and progressive organisations: Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). FOSS is a champion of collaboration, absolute accessibility, and the freedom to alter, share, and build upon existing software devoid of any licensing impediments.
Engineers are increasingly embracing open-source server monitoring tools for their flexibility and cost-effectiveness. These tools offer functionality without the need for additional investments. In this article, we'll explore the top open-source server monitoring tools: Graphite, Grafana, ELK Stack, and Nagios. These actively maintained tools have thriving communities. Let's delve into their features and benefits.
In the fast-paced world of cyber security, organizations face a challenging task to safeguard their digital assets from a variety of advanced threats. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools have emerged as a vital solution, empowering businesses to detect, respond to, and mitigate security incidents effectively.
