AWS Transit Gateway is a service that makes it easy to connect multiple Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), AWS accounts, AWS Regions, and on-premises networks together through a central hub. For AWS customers operating at global scale with many accounts and VPCs, AWS Transit Gateway greatly simplifies AWS networking architecture by eliminating the need to manage complex peering relationships and massive route tables.

No matter how well-designed, flashy, or useful your application is for your target users, they may not take kindly to it being slow or, even worse, crashing once in a while. You will lose customers and revenue as a result. The solution is definitely not to add additional features to the application to bring back users. Instead, it’s as simple as paying close attention to the health of the servers where your application is hosted.

We are back with a simplified configuration for another critical open-source component, Zookeeper. Monitoring Zookeeper applications helps to ensure that the data sets are distributed as expected across the cluster. Although Zookeeper is considered to be very resilient to network mishaps, monitoring is inevitable. To do so, we’ll set up monitoring using the Zookeeper receiver from OpenTelemetry.

Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) is an exciting technology that provides secure, high-performance kernel programmability directly from the operating system. It can expose a wide range of applications and kernel telemetry that is otherwise unavailable. But with operating systems frequently processing very large volumes of network data, even with an efficient framework and cheap eBPF program runs, costs can add up quickly.

If your organization is embracing cloud-native practices, then breaking systems into smaller components or services and moving those services to containers is an essential step in that journey. Containers allow you to take advantage of cloud-hosted distributed infrastructure, move and replicate services as required to ensure your application can meet demand, and take instances offline when they’re no longer needed to save costs.

OpenTelemetry (also known as OTel) is a popular open-source framework used to generate telemetry data for traces, metrics, events and logs. In this guide, we are going to cover the best observability and application performance management tools that can be used alongside OpenTelemetry to transform telemetry data into responsive reporting dashboards.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve recently added Varnish monitoring support for Google Cloud Platform. You can check it out here! Below are steps to get up and running quickly with observIQ’s Google Cloud Platform integrations, and monitor metrics and logs from Varnish in your Google Cloud Platform.

The Machine Learning team at Splunk has been hard at work over the last several months preparing for a few exciting launches at.conf22, held just a few weeks ago. Splunk customers want to leverage machine learning (ML) in their environments, but many aren’t sure how to use it, or even how to get started.

We announced Cribl Search in May, and customer reaction has been incredibly positive. We’ve heard for some time that organizations have data everywhere. They have data in their observability lakes, analytics tools, object stores, and at the edge. The big challenge facing enterprises is that existing search models require you to take all of this data that you don’t know is valuable or not, move it into one place, and then make decisions about whether this is valuable?
