Telemetry pipelines are the unsung heroes that shepherd data from applications and infrastructure to your observability and monitoring systems. It’s often up to SRE to ensure these pipelines are in tip-top shape, allowing logs to flow freely. However, a lot can go awry on the journey a log takes—from source issues and bad data formatting to misconfigured processing steps, congestion and under-provisioning. Buckle up as we dive into operating and monitoring Fluent Bit, helping you live, laugh, and log reliably.

Paige Cruz is passionate about cultivating sustainable on-call practices and bringing folks their aha moment with observability. Currently a Principal Developer Advocate at Chronosphere, she got her start as a software engineer at New Relic before switching to SRE holding the pager for InVision, Lightstep, and Weedmaps. Off-the-clock you can find her at the spinning wheel, swooning over alpacas, or watching trash TV on Bravo.
