Today we are releasing the first Release Candidate of Graylog v3.1. This release brings a whole new alerting and event system that provides more flexible alert conditions and event correlation based on the new search APIs that also power the views. In addition, some extended search capabilities introduced in Graylog Enterprise v3.0 are now available in the open source edition in preparation for unifying the various search features.

In our recent webinar on what it takes to build time series anomaly detection, industry experts Arun Kejariwal, Ira Cohen and Ben Lorica shared valuable advice for ways to successfully implement and execute anomaly detection systems in today’s increasingly complex corporate world.

There’s never a dull moment in the world of anomaly detection. These are the glitches that the world’s largest organizations battled in the month of July.

We are thrilled to announce that we now offer Single Sign-On (SSO) support for ALL customers on the CHAOSSEARCH platform. You can now integrate your existing identity provider with CHAOSSEACH and have your users access the platform without needing to manage a separate set of credentials.

In the world of Software Engineering, observability seems to be the talk of the town. We discuss it at conferences, read about it in blogs or articles, and see it promised to us by vendor after vendor. But what is observability? What issues have recently evolved to make it such an integral concept? What strategies are engineers employing to ensure observability? And most importantly of all, why are engineers looking to achieve it?

Kublr and Kubernetes can help make your favorite data science tools easier to deploy and manage. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) carries the burden of storing big data; Spark provides many powerful tools to process data; while Jupyter Notebook is the de facto standard UI to dynamically manage the queries and visualization of results.

In the last post, we talked about the different ways to monitor Fastly CDN log and why it’s crucial to get a deeper understanding of your log data through a service like Sumo Logic. In the final post of our Fastly CDN blog series, we will discuss how to use Sumo Logic to get the most insights out of your log data — from how to collect Fastly CDN log data to the various Sumo Logic dashboards for Fastly.

This is a guest post by Noah Zoschke, Engineering Manager at Segment. Segment is the customer data infrastructure that makes it easy for companies to clean, collect, and control their first-party customer data. At Segment, our ultimate goal is to collect data from Sources (e.g., a website or mobile app) and route it to one or more Destinations (e.g., Google Analytics and AWS Redshift) as quickly and reliably as possible.

Apache Hive is an open source interface that allows users to query and analyze distributed datasets using SQL commands. Hive compiles SQL commands into an execution plan, which it then runs against your Hadoop deployment. You can customize Hive by using a number of pluggable components (e.g., HDFS and HBase for storage, Spark and MapReduce for execution). With our new integration, you can monitor Hive metrics and logs in context with the rest of your big data infrastructure.
