Driving continuous progress in observability technology!
This article details Bull Group's journey from an open‑source SkyWalking monitoring setup to Alibaba Cloud ARMS, outlining the architectural challenges, technical selection criteria, migration steps, and the resulting improvements in observability, AI‑IoT integration, and operational efficiency.
This article explains why data desensitization is now a compliance must‑have, reviews Alibaba Cloud Log Service’s existing masking pipelines, introduces the new mask function with its keyword and built‑in modes, compares its performance against regex solutions, and showcases three real‑world use cases covering transaction logs, large‑model interactions, and Nginx URI parameters.
This article explores how programming paradigms have shifted from traditional languages to AI‑driven development, detailing AI Agent concepts, workflow versus agentic modes, single versus multi‑agent strategies, prompt versus context engineering, the reference architecture with Spring AI Alibaba, Nacos, Higress and RocketMQ, and the observability solutions built on OpenTelemetry and LoongSuite.
This guide walks through a real‑time security investigation of suspicious AccessKey activity using Alibaba Cloud's MCP server, detailing environment setup, JSON configuration, natural‑language queries, and four practical audit scenarios—including tracking AK usage, identifying high‑risk operations, monitoring root account activity, and summarizing recent cloud service events.
This guide explains how to efficiently preprocess, index, and query massive JSON logs in Alibaba Cloud Log Service (SLS) using flattening, ingestion processors, data processing tasks, powerful JSON functions, unnesting, and the AI‑driven SQL Copilot to turn raw log data into actionable insights.
LoongCollector, the core component of Alibaba Cloud's LoongSuite, delivers zero‑intrusion, multi‑tenant, high‑performance data collection and processing for AI services, enabling full‑stack observability across logs, metrics, traces, events and profiles in cloud‑native environments.
This guide explains why modern enterprises need unified log collection for diverse security devices, introduces LoongCollector's flexible configuration for parsing and standardizing firewall logs from WAF, FortiGate, and Palo Alto, and provides step‑by‑step examples, code snippets, and visual results to enable efficient threat analysis and compliance.
The article explores the evolution of AI Agent technical architecture, its four core capability dimensions, the pivotal role of observability and security, and introduces LoongSuite as a high‑performance, low‑cost observability suite that supports multi‑language agents and future cloud‑native AI developments.
This article explains the five major challenges of handling heterogeneous, weakly‑structured log data in the new‑energy‑vehicle ecosystem and demonstrates how Alibaba Cloud's Log Service (SLS) provides cloud‑native, real‑time data cleaning, cross‑region aggregation, cost‑optimized storage, and visual lineage to enable comprehensive operational insight and intelligent management.
The latest SPL update introduces powerful operators like pack-fields, log-to-metric, and metric-to-metric, delivering dramatic performance gains, richer data transformation capabilities, and enhanced observability for cloud‑native log processing pipelines.
