Five Things to Know About Google Cloud Operations Suite and BindPlane

Google Cloud Operations is a powerful integrated monitoring, logging, and trace managed service for applications and systems running on Google Cloud and beyond. As part of our partnership with Google, we help extend Cloud Operations with BindPlane OP and OpenTelemetry monitoring for a complete monitoring solution. With BindPlane OP, Google Cloud Operations becomes a single pane of glass for monitoring all aspects of your data center, no matter if it’s on prem or running in the cloud.

Managing Observability Pipeline Chaos and the Bottomline

Observability pipelines solve some critical problems IT is facing today: the cloud environment has generated an unprecedented amount of data in recent years; enterprises now have multiple SaaS/cloud-based applications running; it’s becoming tough to know which of this massive volume of data needs to be processed for analysis vs. stored (often for regulatory reasons) cheaply; and dealing with growing numbers of source data makes the meaningful management of the problem only harder.

Configuring OpenTelemetry Agents to Enrich Data and Reduce Observability Costs

BindPlane OP is a powerful, open source tool that makes it easy to build and manage telemetry pipelines to ship data from IT environments of any kind and size to any analysis tool or storage destination. BindPlane OP installs and configures OpenTelemetry agents, which support a wide variety of sources and can be configured to ship data to multiple destinations while enriching or reducing data simultaneously.

observIQ awarded Fall 2022 Intellyx Digital Innovator Award

We talk to a lot of the top research firms about our business and the evolving space of observability so we are honored to be awarded the Fall 2022 Intellyx Digital Innovator Award. Intellyx focuses on enterprise digital transformation and the leading edge innovators helping to drive change in the enterprise IT marketplace. They give this award to vendors who make it through its rigorous selection process and deliver a successful briefing. The award is not based on being a client.

Reduce Data Costs: Log Sampling with OpenTelemetry and BindPlane OP

Redundant logs are a common nuisance in observability pipelines of all kinds. In large environments, excess logs can multiply data costs to unsustainable amounts. Log sampling is the process of randomly sampling logs to produce the same valuable insight with dramatically reduced data flow. Configuring agents in a pipeline to appropriately sample logs can be a pain. Pipeline managers, like BindPlane OP, make that process simple and scalable.

How to Monitor SNMP with OpenTelemetry

With observIQ’s latest 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.

"Managing OpenTelemetry Through the OpAMP Protocol" by Mike Kelly, observIQ

Managing thousands of data collection Agents across just as many servers can overwhelm DevOps teams. Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) is a new network protocol from the OpenTelemetry Project that enables remote management of OpenTelemetry collectors, allowing them to report their status to and receive configuration from a Server and to receive agent package updates from the server. This eliminates the need to create new custom distributions and redeploy, drastically simplifying Agent management.
