At Elastic, we care about those who serve. We support active military and veterans with initiatives that empower them through education, employment, and beyond. On Veterans Day last year we announced one such initiative, Operation Giving Back, which offers free Elastic training and sustainable donation programs to provide opportunities for the military. To continue building on these initiatives, we recently welcomed our first fellow as part of the Hiring Our Heroes program. This 12-week fellows
It is incredibly useful to be able to identify the most unusual data in your Elasticsearch indices. However, it can be incredibly difficult to manually find unusual content if you are collecting large volumes of data. Fortunately, Elastic machine learning can be used to easily build a model of your data and apply anomaly detection algorithms to detect what is rare/unusual in the data. And with machine learning, the larger the dataset, the better. One of the main reasons we use anomaly detection
We’re excited to share that we announced the winners of the 2021 cycle of the Elastic Contributor Program this weekend at the Elastic Community Conference. Since we launched the program last year, contributors have been earning points for organizing events, delivering presentations, contributing code, writing or translating articles, and creating video tutorials. The time and energy that contributors have poured into these activities are the lifeblood of the Elastic community. These commun
When it comes to your SIEM, your data is only as useful as your ability to ingest and analyze it. To solve complex security problems, your team ideally needs the ability to comprehensively monitor events within your environment with contextual insights from high-volume data sources. Yet due to the technical limitations or restrictive licensing of many solutions out there, security teams are forced to drop high-volume data sources (cloud application, authentication, certificate transparenc
Back in our 7.10 release of the Elastic Stack, we announced the beta of our Ruby and Python clients for Elastic Enterprise Search. Now, with 7.11, both the Ruby and Python clients are generally available. We’ve also begun work on a PHP client. All client source code for both enterprise-search-ruby and enterprise-search-python is available on GitHub. Documentation on how to get started with each client is available on elastic.co. Complete release notes for the 7.11.0 releases are available for Ru
On March 8, 2021, we'll be updating the Elastic Support Portal so that it's integrated with Elastic Cloud for authentication. Going forward, you will need to log into Elastic Cloud, with the same email address you had used before, in order to access the Elastic Support Portal. To get started, login to Elastic Cloud to access the Support Portal and follow the on-screen instructions to fully configure your account. As part of this change you may need to reset your password for the Elasti
Observability is an integral part of any healthy system. Entire teams (sometimes departments) are dedicated to knowing exactly what's going on with every server, container, service, application, and integration. That's a lot of logs, metrics, and traces to keep track of. At Elastic, we understand how important observability at scale is and how difficult it can be, so we developed a robust observability solution. But having the right tools is only half of the battle. How do you know that your tea
February is Black History Month, and our Black Elasticians (or Blasticians, as they call themselves) have spent a lot of energy to make this year special. We’ve curated a month-long celebration filled with stories and events that highlight the contributions of Black Americans to our collective history and culture.At the end of the month, we want to take a look back at some of these initiatives and share them with the public. Why? To celebrate the hard work of our team, and to inspire others to m
Graphical processing units, or GPUs, aren’t just for PC gaming. Today, GPUs are used to train neural networks, simulate computational fluid dynamics, mine Bitcoin, and process workloads in data centers. And they are at the heart of most high-performance computing systems, making the monitoring of GPU performance in today's data centers just as important as monitoring CPU performance. With that in mind, let's take a look at how to use Elastic Observability together with NVIDIA’s GPU monitoring to
The cold tier of searchable snapshots, previously beta in Elasticsearch 7.10, is now generally available in Elasticsearch 7.11. This new data tier reduces your cluster storage by up to 50% over the warm tier while maintaining the same level of reliability and redundancy as your hot and warm tiers.
In this blog, we’ll take a look at the scenarios we’ve explored to make sure that the cold tier works flawlessly at scale, underlining the importance we place on quality and reliability of our s
