In this webinar, Mike Kelly, CTO and co-founder of observIQ, will discuss the issues being faced by DevOps practitioners today when trying to utilize a log management platform. Between setting up and managing the environment, deploying and managing agents, and configuring sources and visualizations, these platforms are often far too complicated and require a high level of expertise. Mike will introduce you to observIQ Cloud, the intuitive log management platform that DevOps actually wants to use.

Joseph Howell, Senior Product Manager, will demonstrate just how easy it is.

During this 30 minute session, Joe will show you how to:
-Deploy this easy-to-use platform in minutes
-Aggregate logs at scale using pre-built integrations
-Utilize powerful visualization and analysis
-Reduce MTTR with simplified diagnosis
-Enable immediate response
-Apply simple lifecycle management

Many organizations use expensive SIEM solutions like Splunk to monitor ALL of their logs. However, operational logs have different requirements, and tools like Splunk are not necessarily the right tool for the job.
In today’s environment, there’s no need to combine operational log aggregation and security log analysis. Organizations can have the best of both worlds, and the associated cost savings as well.
In this webinar, Mike Kelly, CTO and co-founder of observIQ will discuss how observIQ Cloud allows engineers to effectively aggregate and monitor logs at a lower cost than SIEM solutions such as Splunk. Focused on streamlining the log management experience, observIQ Cloud offers lifecycle management, one-line agent installation, 30+ pre-made ‘sources’ for popular technologies.
Joseph Howell, Senior Product Manager, will also give a guided tour of the platform, taking attendees through the rapid onboarding process, with real-world examples of how to visualize and investigate common incidents for several popular technologies.

During this 45 minute session, you will learn:
- The benefits of using a platform purpose-built for log management
- Simple onboarding steps - showing how ship your logs to the platform within minutes
- How to create alerts and notifications for common security events for databases like MySQL
- How to monitor proxy traffic from your NGINX instance running on Kubernetes
- How to configure the observIQ agent as a syslog receiver and parse your traffic using a custom pipeline

In this webinar, Mike Kelly, CTO and co-founder of observIQ will discuss how observIQ Cloud allows engineers to effectively aggregate and monitor logs with the only solution that is able to handle the explosive growth in log data. Focused on streamlining the log management experience, observIQ Cloud offers lifecycle management, one-line agent installation, 30+ pre-made ‘sources’ for popular technologies. It is also built on Stanza, the industry’s highest-performing open source log agent.

Joseph Howell, Senior Product Manager, will also give a guided tour of the platform, taking attendees through the rapid onboarding process, with real-world examples of how to visualize and investigate common incidents for several popular technologies.

During this 45 minute session, you will learn:

- The benefits of using observIQ Cloud and becoming a beta participant
- Simple onboarding steps – showing how ship your logs to the platform within minutes
- Lifecycle management capabilities for agents, sources, and templates
- How to investigate common incidents for Apache HTTP Server, Kuberentes, and Windows server environments using Queries, Saved Searches, Visualizations and Alerts
- How to utilize custom parsing, filtering and tagging rules to focus on the events you actually care about

Blue Medora CTO, Mike Kelly sits down with The Cloud Podcast to discuss current complexities when monitoring hybrid-cloud environments and how BindPlane was built to achieve observability across dispersed cloud technologies, legacy on-premise workloads, & sprawling microservices.

Google Stackdriver and BindPlane will share how to increase observability in Stackdriver for your logs and metrics from all datacenters through BindPlane.

Today’s modern IT environment is complex, mixed, and difficult to monitor from a single location. Google Stackdriver customers needed a solution that could easily combine on-prem and cloud monitoring from multiple database providers into a single view.

Stackdriver and BindPlane from Blue Medora together bring an in-depth hybrid-cloud, multi-cloud and on-premises view into a single dashboard, connecting health and performance signals from a wide variety of Google and non-GCP sources. BindPlane’s managed log and metrics streaming capability simplifies extending Stackdriver’s observability to enterprise customer data centers and other public clouds, allowing Stackdriver customers to monitor metrics and logs from a single view within Stackdriver.

Join Seth Vargo, Engineer, Google, and Craig Lee, Chief Systems Architect, BindPlane at Blue Medora for a live webinar on Tuesday, December 17th at 11 AM EST. They will present the relationship and increased functionality for Stackdriver customers sharing how they can:

- Increase visibility by bringing your entire enterprise stack into a single view
- Stream both metrics and logs in real-time without an agent
- Achieve complete SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) observability
- Understand and quickly diagnose health and performance issues

The webinar will include a demo of BindPlane for Stackdriver and will be followed by a live Q&A.

Persistent data management is challenging, especially for companies experiencing fast growth or volatility in data proliferation. Performance telemetry is vital for operating databases like PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SAP HANA. Viewing third-party database telemetry in the context of a full Google Cloud environment allows you to understand impact and relationships. Attendees will learn how to use Stackdriver to monitor third-party databases along with Google Cloud resources at a depth that allows them to tune database performance and solve application problems more quickly.

Large enterprises run several (up to 20+) monitoring tools. Despite the number of tools available, teams struggle when it comes to overall visibility into their systems, because of the complexity of applications and services.

Attendees will learn how to break down silos in tooling, metric, and log data collection. They will see how using Google Stackdriver improves cross-team collaboration, reduces alert fatigue, eliminates war rooms and shortens mean-time-to-recovery (MTTR). Attendees will learn best practices for monitoring large-scale, complex, dynamic and distributed systems using Stackdriver. They will also see several new full-stack visualizations that will drastically reduce troubleshooting time.
