Harnessing an observability solution to gain valuable insights into business operations

In my previous articles, I discussed how to design considerations for observability solutions and how observability can augment your security implementation. In this article, I will discuss how an observability solution can provide valuable insights into your business operations through the collected data from various systems, applications, and services.

Using the Elastic Agent to monitor Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate with Elastic Observability

AWS Fargate is a serverless pay-as-you-go engine used for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) to run Docker containers without having to manage servers or clusters. The goal of Fargate is to containerize your application and specify the OS, CPU and memory, networking, and IAM policies needed for launch. Additionally, AWS Fargate can be used with Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) in a similar manner.

Smart Monitoring and Predictive Analytics for Operations (OT) and Manufacturing

With digitization adopted in many industries, real-time data from manufacturing and operational equipment can be used to monitor and optimize operation - by applying data-driven modeling including machine learning. In this video you learn how you can automatically monitor equipment and connected devices, and apply predictive modeling to optimize operations (OT). With this approach, manufacturers and grid operators reduce downtime and save maintenance cost by scheduling equipment maintenance just when needed, connected consumer and wearable medical devices are monitored remotely, and transportation providers optimize operation of their fleets.

The generative AI societal shift

Once upon a time, not so long ago, the world was a different place. The idea of a "smartphone" was still a novelty, and the mobile phone was primarily a tool for making calls and, perhaps, sending the occasional text message. Yes, we had "smart" phones, but they were simpler, mostly geared toward business users and mostly used for, well, phone stuff. Web browsing? It was there, but light, not something you'd do for hours.

Simplifying log data management: Harness the power of flexible routing with Elastic

In Elasticsearch 8.8, we’re introducing the reroute processor in technical preview that makes it possible to send documents, such as logs, to different data streams, according to flexible routing rules. When using Elastic Observability, this gives you more granular control over your data with regard to retention, permissions, and processing with all the potential benefits of the data stream naming scheme. While optimized for data streams, the reroute processor also works with classic indices.

Total Economic Impact of Elasticsearch: Elastic delivers a 293% ROI and drives revenue improvement for customers

Elastic customers have seen a 5% revenue improvement within three years, among other benefits. How? Using Elasticsearch, developers can ingest and connect various data sources to provide their companies, employees, customers, and/or public access to information and tune results for faster, more precise answers. Elasticsearch AI/ML powered search is designed to maximize performance and compute resources to deliver applications that can scale as businesses grow.

Generative AI in financial services: The role of the Elasticsearch Relevance Engine

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is undoubtedly one of the biggest trends across industries in 2023. In a recent survey, almost two-thirds of executives believe generative AI will have a high or extremely high impact on their organization in the next three to five years. Executives anticipate spending the next 6–12 months focused on increasing their understanding of how generative AI works, evaluating internal capabilities, and investing in generative AI tools.

Achieve operational resilience with a flexible data store

Are you prepared for the unexpected? In today's rapidly evolving world, operational resilience has never been more critical for businesses to survive and thrive. Resiliency is the ability of a system to maintain its operations under adverse conditions, including system failures, unexpected surges in user demand, or even security breaches. The heart of many applications, particularly in this era of data-driven decision-making, is the data store or database.
