A gentle introduction to XDP

XDP, or eXpress Data Path, is a Linux networking feature that enables you to create high-performance packet-processing programs that run in the kernel. Introduced in Linux 4.8 and built on extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), XDP provides a mechanism to process network packets earlier and faster than is possible through the kernel’s native network stack. In this post, we’ll discuss.

Head in the Clouds: Data Value and Versatility with Splunk Cloud Platform

Data search and ingestion is cost-effective on the Splunk Cloud Platform. With workload pricing, you can measure the resources or computing capacity needed for different workloads versus the amount of ingested data. Yep, you could say that Splunk Cloud is all that and a bag of chips.

How to Reduce the Volume of NGINX Logs

If you’ve worked with NGINX web servers, you know they’re efficient but can generate a lot of log data. While this data is valuable, sorting through it can be a challenge, and the storage and processing costs can quickly add up. This is where BindPlane OP comes in. It helps reduce log volume while still preserving the crucial information. It streamlines your data, filters out the irrelevant bits, and zeroes in on key data points, helping manage storage and keep costs under control.

Endpoint Performance Monitoring: Tools and Best Practices
