Project mention: Docker Log Observability: Analyzing Container Logs in HashiCorp Nomad with Vector, Loki, and Grafana | dev.to | 2024-04-19Monitoring application logs is a crucial aspect of the software development and deployment lifecycle. In this post, we'll delve into the process of observing logs generated by Docker container applications operating within HashiCorp Nomad. With the aid of Grafana, Vector, and Loki, we'll explore effective strategies for log analysis and visualization, enhancing visibility and troubleshooting capabilities within your Nomad environment.
Project mention: Release Radar · April 2024 Edition: Major updates from the open source community | dev.to | 2024-05-03It's like Prometheus, but for logs. Okay it's not really to do with the Norse or Greek gods, instead Loki is a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by the open source project Prometheus. Built by Grafana Labs, Loki is designed for ease of use. Instead of indexing the contents of the logs, Loki provides a set of labels for each log stream. The latest update includes query acceleration with Bloom filters, native OTel support, Helm charts, and more. Check out the changelog for all the major changes and deprecations.

I think a single Google Analytics alternative is pretty hard to pick considering that GA can be used to very much varying extents.
For simple and "detailed enough" insights, I enjoyed using Plausible (https://plausible.io/) in the past.
For more in depth analytics that give you a detailed view into your own product, PostHog.com seems to be by far the best and most popular option out there.

You can always slice the images into smaller ones, run detection on each tile, and combine results. Supervision has a utility for this - https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/tools/infe..., but it only works with detections. You can get a much more accurate result this way. Here is some side-by-side comparison: https://github.com/roboflow/supervision/releases/tag/0.14.0.

Project mention: Show HN: OneUptime – open-source Datadog Alternative | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-02Lot of interesting OSS observability products coming out in recent years. One of the more impressive(and curious for many reasons) IMHO is OpenObserve: https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve .
As opposed to just a stack, they are implementing just about the whole backend shebang from scratch.
One note of caution, though: Amplify uses a frontend-only Cognito integration that stores long-lived, never-rotating refresh tokens in browser storage, where any XSS vulnerability would have access to them. A more secure approach is to implement a couple of backend API routes to store the refresh tokens in `HttpOnly` cookies instead, which I outlined here (option 1 in your case to support SSO). I'll probably open source a solution to do this early next year so we don't all have to keep reinventing this wheel (probably why AWS calls their conference re:invent).

Project mention: Show HN: HyperDX Local – Open-source Datadog alternative for local debugging/dev | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-02Hi HN, Mike and Warren here! We’ve been building an open source local-dev-friendly mode for HyperDX (hyperdx.io). It's a single Docker container that lets you view logs, metrics, and traces for local development in a similar way you can use them for production (live tail, filter/correlate logs & spans, build charts, flamegraph, etc.) Basically, imagine you can run Datadog in a single container for local development. We does this by spinning up an OpenTelemetry collector, Clickhouse DB and HyperDX UI all in a single container - it only takes a few seconds to start and lets you start live tailing your local logs and traces immediately (and graph metrics of course).
README (w/ demo gif): https://github.com/hyperdxio/hyperdx/blob/main/LOCAL.md
We started building local mode as it became one of our most loved [1] community issue after sharing HyperDX. It made sense - as we constantly use HyperDX to debug our own issues locally, and have found it to be a huge productivity boost for things like…
1. Tailing multiple container logs (and grepping/isolating them) without a ton of different terminal splits open at the same time.
2. Be able to sensibly view structured logs and correlated traces to debug local issues (because you’re using structured logging and tracing right?) instead of adding ad-hoc console statements that print out exactly what I could’ve gotten from tracing.
3. Testing telemetry are actually emitting/correlating as expected, before shipping it all the way out to prod and realizing I accidentally created a very expensive high-cardinality metric or a span that has the wrong properties.
We spent some time packaging & tuning our existing OSS stack to run in a single container with less memory/space requirements by staring at `dive` to slim down the image and applied incantations from documentation until memory usage improved. Additionally we removed a few non-local-friendly things like authentication requirements and extraneous services.
It still has all the goodness you’d want - so you can full text search your logs/traces, live tail all your events, view spans correlated with logs (and vice versa), create dashboards based on logs, metrics, traces, and is fully OpenTelemetry compatible - just point your Otel SDK/collector to http://localhost:4318 (or 4317 for the grpc folks) and you’re already good to go.
I’m excited to share what we’ve been working on and would love to hear your feedback and opinions!
Spin up the container yourself to try it out:
docker run -p 8000:8000 -p 4318:4318 -p 4317:4317 -p 8080:8080 -p 8002:8002 hyperdx/hyperdx-local
