Parsing windows IIS logs
Internet Information Services (IIS) is a flexible, secure and manageable Web server for hosting anything on the Web. Monitoring and analyzing IIS logs can provide valuable insights into the performance and health of your web applications. In this blog, we will walk through the process of capturing IIS logs using the OpenTelemetry Collector (otel-collector), parsing them with Vector Remap Language (VRL), and sending them to OpenObserve for analysis.

Parsing Syslog Messages
VRL provides a powerful way to parse syslog messages,using the built-in `parse_syslog` . Some syslog messages may not be parsed effectively using the built-in `parse_syslog` function. In such cases, `parse_regex` can be used to extract meaningful data from syslog messages.

Revolutionizing Observability - Unveiling OpenObserve, the High-Performance, Cloud-Native Platform
OpenObserve is an open source, cloud native open source observability platform that provides ~140x (YMMV. Could be higher or lower based on data entropy) lower storage costs compared to Elasticsearch. Use cases include real-life log data, significantly reduces operational costs, and improves ease of use. It can scale to petabytes of data, is highly performant, and allows you to sleep better at night 😴. If you are looking for an observability tool for logs, metrics, and traces, take a look at OpenObserve and how its approach towards observability could help you build better software and save money on observability costs.
