Syslog monitoring is a process of collecting, storing, and analyzing system log messages generated by devices on a network. These log messages contain information about the operation and status of devices, as well as any errors or issues that may have occurred.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that has gained widespread popularity in recent years due to its simplicity and flexibility. It is easy for humans to read and write and for machines to parse and generate, making it a great choice for transmitting data in web applications.
Centralizing logs (arranging all records in one place) is often challenging as we need to decide whether to use a log shipper or directly log from the application.
If you are not familiar with a log shipper, logging directly from the library might be a suitable option for development (it is easy to configure). However, in production, you'll likely want to use one of the available log shippers, mainly due to buffers, since blocking the application or dropping data (immediately) may not be an option.
OpenTelemetry can be used to instrument your Elixir applications to generate telemetry data. The telemetry data can then be visualized using an observability tool to monitor your Elixir application performance. In this tutorial, we will use OpenTelemetry Elixir libraries to instrument an Elixir application and then visualize it using SigNoz.
Setting up observability and robust monitoring for distributed systems is a challenging task. Engineering teams need access to different pieces of information to understand what's happening with their application. Is OpenTelemetry a step in the right direction for distributed tracing? Let's find out.
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
Welcome back to our monthly product updates - SigNal! Last month, the SigNoz team shipped many advanced features that will help our users take observability to the next level.

Starting this one off on a different chord!
Startups are challenging yet fulfilling. There is always a long road ahead - full of challenges and uncertainties. Yet, sometimes we hit a milestone and feel nostalgic about the journey completed. 10,000+ GitHub stargazers seemed like a distant dream, but finally, it’s here. Moments like these are special to the team. We are grateful to the developer community for their continued support since our inception.
OpenTelemetry can be used to trace Angular applications for performance issues and bugs. OpenTelemetry is an open-source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that aims to standardize the generation and collection of telemetry data. Telemetry data includes logs, metrics, and traces.
In this article, we will implement distributed tracing for a nodejs application based on microservices architecture. To implement distributed tracing, we will be using open-source solutions - SigNoz and OpenTelemetry, so you can easily follow the tutorial.
MEVN stack is a popular Javascript software stack that has become very popular in recent times to build powerful web applications. MEVN stack involves four technologies to build an end-to-end web application, namely, MongoDB, Expressjs, Vuejs, and Nodejs.
