OpenObserve Reaches 15,000 GitHub Stars: A Journey to Provide Simple, Efficient, and Performant Observability for All
OpenObserve has just surpassed 15,000 stars on GitHub, a milestone that fills me with both pride and gratitude. When we started this project three years ago, the goal was simple yet ambitious: to build an open-source observability platform that is easier, faster, and dramatically more cost-effective than anything out there.
journald and syslog are two popular logging systems used in Linux environments. While they share some similarities, they have distinct differences in their design, functionality, and use cases.
What is Journald and how to do centralized journald logging
What is Journald, what is it's log file location, how to do log rotation for it. Also learn how OpenObserve uses otel-collector to provide centralized logging for Journald.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a wealth of data about the traffic that flows through your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). By capturing this data, you can gain insights into network patterns, detect anomalies, and improve the security and efficiency of your cloud environment. AWS VPC Flow Logs are a feature that allows you to capture information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in your VPC. In this blog, we will discuss how to capture all fields of AWS VPC Flow Logs, send them to Kinesis Firehose, and then analyze them using OpenObserve's Logs UI and Dashboards..
VRL provides a powerful way to parse syslog messages,using the built-in `parse_syslog` . Some syslog messages may not be parsed effectively using the built-in `parse_syslog` function. In such cases, `parse_regex` can be used to extract meaningful data from syslog messages.
Internet Information Services (IIS) is a flexible, secure and manageable Web server for hosting anything on the Web. Monitoring and analyzing IIS logs can provide valuable insights into the performance and health of your web applications. In this blog, we will walk through the process of capturing IIS logs using the OpenTelemetry Collector (otel-collector), parsing them with Vector Remap Language (VRL), and sending them to OpenObserve for analysis.
Capturing the Pulse of Your GitHub Actions with OpenObserve
Explore how OpenObserve, an open-source observability tool, collaborates seamlessly with GitHub Actions through the 'openobserve_github_action_logs' repository by Mark Percival. This integration offers developers an efficient way to capture logs, enabling long-term analysis to detect build patterns and improve CI/CD pipelines. Dive into the benefits of continuous data monitoring and how it can revolutionize your software delivery process.
Serilog Sink for OpenObserve is an extension that integrates Serilog, a favored logging library for .NET applications, with OpenObserve. Crafted by Konrad Kaminski-Pawlak, the sink allows for effortless logging to OpenObserve, thereby enhancing the ability to store, analyze, and manage logs.
