Current challenges in log and telemetry data management

Today, most enterprises use a security log analytics solution or SIEM (Security Information & Event Management), but analytics are only as good as the data fed into your solution. If you’re missing data sources or are failing to extract full value from the data, you won’t see the big picture. This is an issue new customers commonly mention to NXLog. That’s why one of our key goals is to provide a solid data collection layer that ensures all relevant data is collected and properly fed into the SIEM.

World of OpenTelemetry

With an ever-expanding choice of technologies on the market, navigating the range of open-source observability tools can be a challenge. Which is why, when it comes to managing complex multicloud environments and their services, standardization is crucial. Here’s where OpenTelemetry (OTel) can play a key role. Developed through the merger of OpenCensus and OpenTracing, OpenTelemetry has become the new standard for open-source telemetry. Discover what OTel is, the types of telemetry data it encompasses, its potential benefits, and how NXLog can support your OpenTelemetry ecosystem.

Understanding telemetry pipelines

Back in the day, Gordon Moore made relatively accurate observations and projections about the exponential growth of transistors on semiconductors. It still amazes me, yet very few predicted the incredible growth of system interconnectedness and the vast amount of data it generates. It is estimated that 90% of all data was created in the last last two years. Given that everything is connected, the need for telemetry is growing at an unprecedented rate, and thus, the need to efficiently channel and manage telemetry data has also grown.
