The latest News and Information on Log Management, Log Analytics and related technologies.
It is commonly believed that once data is collected and ingested into a system of analysis, the most difficult part of obtaining the data is complete. However, in many cases, this is just the first step for the infrastructure and security operations teams expected to derive insights.
If you’re like most organizations, you’re leveraging Jenkins for all sorts of things. Deployment pipelines, automated API tests, even glorified CRON jobs just to name a few.
Shortly before the December holidays, a vulnerability in the ubiquitous Log4J library arrived like the Grinch, Scrooge, and Krampus rolled into one monstrous bundle of Christmas misery. Log4J maintainers went to work patching the exploit, and security teams scrambled to protect millions of exposed applications before they got owned. At Cribl, we put together multiple resources to help security teams detect and prevent the Log4J vulnerability using LogStream.
Legacy logging solutions simply couldn’t keep up with the complex, hyperconverged regional infrastructure at Civo, a Kubernetes service provider that enables users to launch k8s clusters within 90 seconds. “With our infrastructure and application deployment getting more complex and more distributed, we needed our logging solution and our entire observability stack to scale up with our needs,” said Anaïs Urlichs, Site Reliability Engineer at Civo.
Here at Cribl, we have a cloud offering of our LogStream product. In building and supporting our cloud product, we have a service-based architecture. And we want to be able to gather metrics from our services, in order to monitor those services and make sure we meet our SLAs.

Before we dive in, I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for tuning in to season one of DevOps State of Mind.
As organisations face outages and various security threats, monitoring an entire application platform is critical in order to determine the source of the threat or the location of the outage, as well as to verify events, logs, and traces in order to understand system behaviour at the time and take proactive and corrective actions.
LogDNA is always looking forward and constantly developing new and innovative solutions to the problems developers and enterprises face as they manage their logs and data. Here’s a recap of our latest product releases and info on how you can get your hands on them.
