Automatic Discovery and Instrumentation of PostgreSQL with Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector

Sep 10, 2024 By Splunk In Splunk
In this video I’ll walk through the steps to instrument a PostgreSQL database using the Automatic discovery and configuration feature of the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector. We’ll use an install script to install and run the Collector with discovery mode on a Linux machine where the database is running. I’ll then show you how to properly configure the PostgreSQL receiver properties so that the Collector is able to connect and authenticate to the database. Once the Collector is successfully configured, I’ll show you how to view those metrics in Splunk Observability Cloud.

Managing a custom distribution OTel collector with BindPlane

Sep 10, 2024 By Joe Howell In ObservIQ
Exciting news: it’s now possible to build a custom distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector and remotely manage it with BindPlane. Though not all of BindPlane’s capabilities are available when managing a custom distribution (yet), it’s #prettycool, as it cracks open the door for teams looking to BYOF (bring your fleet), and manage them with our OTel-native telemetry pipeline.

3-Click Indexless Network Monitoring: AWS & Coralogix

Sep 8, 2024 By Chris Cooney In Coralogix
Network infrastructure is the hidden glue between servers. In AWS, it takes skill, knowledge and experience to build a network that can be monitored, will perform and is secure. A key source of information to determine the health of a network is the logs, but network logs suffer from a serious problem. They’re noisy, and they’re often difficult to parse, but by leveraging indexless observability, Coralogix customers can drive insights from data that would previously have been untouchable.

Guide to Crontab Logs - How to Find and Read Crontab Logs

Sep 7, 2024 By Uptrace In Uptrace
Crontab logs are records of scheduled tasks (or "cron jobs") that are executed by the cron daemon on Unix-like operating systems such as Linux. These logs provide details about the tasks that have been run, when they were executed, whether they completed successfully, and any errors or issues that occurred during their execution. This detailed guide will cover all aspects of crontab logs, from fundamental concepts to advanced strategies for optimization.

Strategies For Reducing Observability Costs With OpenTelemetry

Sep 6, 2024 By Michelle Artreche In ObservIQ
Keeping smooth and safe operations now relies entirely on observability. But as there's more and more data to keep track of, the costs are going up. This makes it hard for your companies to balance how well things are running and their budgets. OpenTelemetry can help by making a standard way to collect and process all the data. We're going to share how OpenTelemetry can save you money on observability and why having too much data can be costly.

Continuing Our OpenTelemetry Story With New Versions, Logs, Batching, and More Metrics

Sep 5, 2024 By Tomer Shvueli In Cribl
Last time we spoke, I told you about our (then) brand-spankin’-new OTel over HTTP implementation, in both our OpenTelemetry Source and Destination. That was a little over a year ago, also known as a lifetime in tech! I wanted to take another opportunity to speak to you and introduce some of our new OpenTelemetry features, and share how you can put them into practice!

Elastic extends Express Migration program for Splunk logging customers

Sep 5, 2024 By Abhishek Singh In Elastic
Observability is undergoing a massive shift as enterprises drive adoption of modern technologies, including cloud and microservices, along with disruptive technologies, such as generative AI (GenAI). To keep pace with the complex requirements of the modern tech stack, operations teams need to consider and adopt next-generation observability. Splunk users are often challenged by using products that provide fragmented observability, hampering their ability to modernize their environments.
