Product news and technical notes

Version 5.12 of our applications and Collectord is available.

Minor update 5.11 focuses on stability improvements and adds support for PVC volumes for collecting application logs.

If you are using NVIDIA GPU devices for your workloads, including machine learning (ML), high performance computing (HPC), financial analytics, and video transcoding, you want to be able to monitor how efficiently you are using these devices.

Today we have shipped an updated version of Collectord (version 5.10.252) that brings two features: configuration for throughput and time correction.

Minor update 5.10 is focused on the usability improvements for the multi-cluster monitoring and security monitoring use cases.

With this release we improved capabilities for streaming data to multiple Splunk Clusters and support for deploying multiple Collectord instances on the same node (in case you need to stream the same data to multiple clusters), and added a new capability to stream objects and changes from the API Server.

With version 5.8 we include usability improvements for dashboards and various bug fixes.

If you are using Kubernetes on Mesosphere DC/OS you can find that our default configuration does not provide all the metrics and information out of the box. In this blog post we will guide you through all the configuration changes to get all the information you need to monitor the health of your clusters and performance of your applications.

Not all logs that are created are equal. Some are needed for debugging purposes, some for auditing and security, some for troubleshooting. Depending on the type of logs, different approaches could be used to reduce licensing cost. Let’s go over some of them.

Version 5.7 of our applications and Collectord includes bug fixes and a new input that allows you to forward logs directly from Journald.
