Today, the cloud platform engineers are facing new challenges when running cloud native applications. Those applications are designed, deployed, maintained and monitored unlike traditional monolithic applications they are used to working with. Cloud native applications are designed and built to exploit the scale, elasticity, resiliency, and flexibility the cloud provides. They are a group of micro-services that are run in containers within a Kubernetes cluster and they all talk to each other.

Last year we introduced Sentry Cron Monitoring (beta) to help developers get code-level context and performance trends for their scheduled jobs. While Crons remains in beta, we’ve heard your feedback over the past few months and want to share some big improvements we’ve shipped. In this post, we’ll cover how we’ve simplified the setup process by integrating Crons into our SDKs and automating monitor setup for select frameworks.

Managing and monitoring network devices is essential for ensuring the smooth operation of organizations. For this purpose, organizations prefer using SNMP — Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is a standard Internet protocol through which network administrators collect information about the status and performance of these devices and configure them. In this article, we'll dive deeper into SNMP monitoring, exploring its different versions and components.

Companies need to rely on connectivity and data to keep up with the competition. Organizations digitize their processes to reduce costs, enhance the customer experience, and improve efficiencies. In fact, 66% of businesses have automated at least one business process. However, as businesses adopt more data, tracking digital processes becomes increasingly complex and challenging. How can you know if these efforts are truly saving your organization time and money?

In today's rapidly evolving world of software development, ephemeral environments have emerged as a game-changer. These disposable, isolated instances for development, testing, and deployment purposes are revolutionizing the way applications are built and delivered. Let's explore the 8 business benefits of ephemeral environments and how they can accelerate development and deployment processes.

If you’ve decided it’s time for your organization to start thoroughly managing its IT assets, it’s likely that you’re looking at free IT Asset Management (ITAM) software with good eyes. The cost of a paid tool can be a drawback, either because you don’t have the budget for it or you’re hesitant about its effectiveness. However, cheap can be expensive, and ITAM tools are no exception.

5G has the potential to revolutionise the telecommunications industry, offering high speed and connectivity for a wide range of devices ranging from radio access networks (RAN), user equipment (UE), and core networks. However, the high costs associated with 5G infrastructure have been a significant blocker for adoption, hindering innovation and growth in this area. This blog discusses the primary challenges faced in the telecom industry and how open source technologies are helping to resolve them.

Elastic customers have seen a 5% revenue improvement within three years, among other benefits. How? Using Elasticsearch, developers can ingest and connect various data sources to provide their companies, employees, customers, and/or public access to information and tune results for faster, more precise answers. Elasticsearch AI/ML powered search is designed to maximize performance and compute resources to deliver applications that can scale as businesses grow.

In the era of big data, data lakes have emerged as a popular way to store and process massive amounts of data. Fortunately, with Cribl Search and Cribl Stream, you can create a Data Loop to optimize the use of your data lake by saving Search results as part of an investigation. Our four-part video series explains how to set up Cribl Search and Cribl Stream to establish a Data Loop using the Amazon S3 Data Lake destination in Cribl Stream and the Cribl Stream in_cribl_http source.
