What Is the ELK Stack?
Robust logging and log management is a nonnegotiable requirement in any serious system. If you operate applications in production or during the dev environment, you need information about what’s happening collected at scale. You also need to gather the logs generated by all your applications. Collecting logs isn’t enough. Previously, we used to connect to servers one by one to check the logs. In a world where a system spans a plethora of hosts, this approach doesn’t work. The developers in your organization need the best tools to analyze the behavior of their applications and spot problems. In this post, Mario Fernandez presents the ELK stack, a collection of tools used for log processing. Check it out on Solarwinds’ blog.

How to Improve Cross-Team Collaboration in Jenkins
Cross-team collaboration is a practice that nearly all companies have but few achieve. It’s achieved when disparate teams work together to share knowledge, tools, and goals. At its best, cross-team collaboration is a natural byproduct of your team’s typical workflow. At its worst, it’s an obstacle to getting the job done and can lead to resentment between colleagues. Your software delivery pipelines are a logical place for your technology team to collaborate. With the right tools, they can share their output in a manner that will enhance their process rather than intrude on it. CloudBees Continuous Integration (CloudBees CI), which is built on Jenkins, has those tools. Learn all about them from Eric Goebelbecker on CloudBees’ blog.
