K-NN (k-nearest neighbors) is a widely used machine learning (ML) recommendation algorithm, it is used to locate nearby documents based on vector dimensions. The algorithm can be and has been applied to numerous different use cases including image recognition, fraud detection, image recognition, and ‘other songs you might like’ feature in a music application. KNN uses proximity to provide classifications and predictions regarding the grouping of an individual data point.

With observIQ’s contributions to OpenTelemetry, you can now use free, open-source tools to easily aggregate data across your entire infrastructure to any or multiple analysis tools. The easiest way to use the latest OpenTelemetry tools is with observIQ’s distribution of the OpenTelemetry collector. You can find it here. In this blog, we cover how to use OpenTelemetry to monitor SNMP.

Federal agencies are adopting a more modern, digital-centered approach in everything they do. That’s good progress, but it’s also exposing some critical problems in the modernization journey.

The Cribl Syslog source is our most commonly used input type. Cribl Stream can act as your edge and/or central syslog server, giving you more capability while easing management tasks.

With the development and increased usage of cloud-native technologies, containers, and microservices-based architectures, log monitoring has become a fundamental component of effective management for organizations. Logs offer users insights into occurring issues and assist them in understanding how their software performs over time, where it excels, and where it fails.

Tens of thousands of companies in the world, across almost all industries, from midsize to large enterprises, rely on robust, efficient complex SAP systems to power their core operations.

In today’s digital era, data has become an integral part of every organization. The exponential growth of data continues to accelerate, with projections indicating a compound annual growth rate of 28% for data creation. While this surge in data presents vast opportunities, it also brings substantial challenges in terms of management and value extraction. This is where the concept of a data engine comes in. It serves as the core of your data infrastructure, functioning like a central nervous system.

Michal Vaško is a DevOps engineer at cloudWerkstatt, with a passion for open source technology and a deep love for observability. While operations or platform teams have long relied on visibility into metrics to react swiftly, the idea of doing the same thing with logs was once just a dream. Thankfully, Grafana Loki has revolutionized the logging stack, giving you the same level of visibility with logs that you get with metrics.
