Optimizing cloud resources and cost with APM metadata in Elastic Observability
From left to right, we want to focus on the very first chart. We have the bars representing the CPU as average in green and 95th percentile in blue on top. It goes from 0 to 100% and is normalized, meaning that even with 8 CPU cores, it will still read 100% usage and not 800%. The line graph represents the transaction duration, the average being in red, and the 95th percentile … [Read more...] about Optimizing cloud resources and cost with APM metadata in Elastic Observability
Identifying malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections with Elastic Security
Lateral movement is a dangerous threat in the landscape of highly integrated technologies. If attackers gain access to an endpoint, it’s critical for security teams to identify any and all movements they make. To combat this threat, Elastic Security is excited to announce a new lateral movement detection package that makes use of advanced analytics.In the past, we explored how … [Read more...] about Identifying malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections with Elastic Security

How to combine OpenTelemetry instrumentation with Elastic APM Agent features
Elastic APM supports OpenTelemetry on multiple levels. One easy-to understand scenario, which we previously blogged about, is the direct OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) support in APM Server. This means that you can connect any OpenTelemetry agent to an Elastic APM Server and the APM Server will happily take that data, ingest it into Elasticsearch®, and you can view that … [Read more...] about How to combine OpenTelemetry instrumentation with Elastic APM Agent features
Pruning incoming log volumes with Elastic
To log or not to log? has always been a difficult question that software engineers still struggle with, to the detriment of site reliability engineering, or SRE, colleagues. Developers don't always get the level or context of the warnings and errors they capture in applications right and often log messages that may not always be helpful for SREs. I can admit to being one of … [Read more...] about Pruning incoming log volumes with Elastic
Improving the Elastic APM UI performance with continuous rollups and service metrics
Our journey began back in the 7.x series where we noticed that doing ad-hoc aggregations on raw transaction data put Elasticsearch® under a lot of pressure in large-scale environments. Since then, we’ve begun to pre-aggregate the transactions into transaction metrics during ingestion. This has helped to keep the performance of the UI relatively stable. Regardless of how busy … [Read more...] about Improving the Elastic APM UI performance with continuous rollups and service metrics

Using the Elastic Agent to monitor Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate with Elastic Observability
Serverless and AWS ECS FargateAWS 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 … [Read more...] about Using the Elastic Agent to monitor Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate with Elastic Observability
