Time series data is becoming more prevalent across many industries. Indeed, it is no longer limited to financial data. As the need to handle time-stamped data increases, the demand for specialized databases to handle this type of data has also grown. The solution: Time series databases. In this introduction guide, we'll explain all the basics you need to know about time series databases, including what they are, how they work and are applied, and some of their benefits.

Splunk’s extensible and scalable data platform has been instrumental in helping ITOps teams fully understand their tech environments and tackle any IT use case with data streaming, dashboarding, federated search, AI/ML, and more. But, with the explosion of telemetry and the growing complexity of digital systems, ITOps practitioners who rely solely on a logging solution are missing out on critical insights from their digital systems.

In software development, two primary models of software exist: open source and closed source. Both types have their benefits and drawbacks, and understanding the differences between them can help you make informed decisions when choosing software for your projects. To simplify the concepts of open source and closed source software, let’s use the analogy of community cookbooks — open source — and a secret family recipe: the closed source.

Your log records may be missing a key ingredient that unlocks the world of observability for your applications, infrastructure and services. If you're building a new application or enhancing an existing one, consider adopting the OpenTelemetry Logs Data Model's Log and Event Record Definition. Adopting this definition enriches your logs by adding additional data, making it easier to use them to correlate them with metrics and traces, in addition to XYZ.

Amazon CloudWatch Logs enables you to centralize the logs from different AWS services, logs from your applications running in AWS and on-prem servers, using a single highly scalable service. You can then easily view these logs data, search them for specific error codes or patterns, filter them based on specific fields, or archive them securely for future analysis.

Like humans, machines need to continually learn from non-stationary information streams. While this is a natural skill for humans, it’s challenging for neural networks-based AI machines. One inherent problem in artificial neural networks is the phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting. Deep learning researchers are working extensively to solve this problem in their pursuit of AI agents that can continually learn like humans.

The emergence of cloud computing. Arguably the biggest change in technology in decades, cloud computing changed how technology would now develop and how businesses and organizations would operate. Indeed, the enormous popularity of cloud services is due precisely to that: you can get different models depending on your operational needs. To properly utilize these cloud service models, you should understand the differences in their functional capabilities and the ideal use cases for each model.

Gaining insights from your data requires more than collecting and analyzing metrics and logs. With the acceleration of customer and business demands, site reliability engineers and IT Ops analysts now require operational visibility into their entire architecture, something that traditional APM tools, dev logging tools, and SRE tools aren't equipped to provide. Observability enables you to inspect and understand your IT stack; but what is it, and how does it differ from IT monitoring?

Most IT organizations have adopted event management as a central practice to help find and fix what's broken, but today's tools focus on managing the volume of events-they do not deliver service context. Without context, you are ill-equipped to focus on the right problem at the right time. What you need is something different-something that makes IT events less eventful and more insightful-and now, you can finally do it!
