• Numenta Releases Grok for IT Analytics on AWS | Numenta – Grok anomaly detection leverages sophisticated machine intelligence algorithms to enable new insights into critical IT systems. Grok automatically learns complex patterns and then highlights unusual behavior. As software topologies and usage patterns change, Grok continuously learns and adapts, eliminating the need for frequent resetting of thresholds. Visualization of Grok output is displayed on a constantly updated mobile device, enabling IT professionals to assess the health of their systems anytime, anywhere. Using Grok, IT operators can better prevent business downtime while reducing false positives.

  Grok is the first commercial application of Numenta’s groundbreaking Cortical Learning Algorithm (CLA), biologically inspired algorithms for machine intelligence. The core CLA technology is ideal for large-scale analysis of continuously streaming datasets and excels at modeling and predicting patterns in data.

  “Grok provides an early warning system to IT professionals to give them real-time insights into their system performance,” said Numenta CEO Donna Dubinsky. “Grok anticipates problems before they happen, reduces false positives, and lowers engineering costs through automated modeling and continuous learning.”

  Grok features include:

  Monitoring of performance and health of AWS environments or other systems
  Automatic modeling to determine normal patterns
  Automatic identification and ranking of unusual patterns
  Continuous learning of new patterns as environments evolve – no need for manual threshold setting
  Notification to user when an anomaly occurs
  Output displayed graphically on an Android mobile device
  Simple setup via a web-based or command-line interface
  Support for AWS auto-scaling groups and logical clusters

• Elasticsearch.org Kibana 3.0.0 GA Is Now Available! | Blog | Elasticsearch – Today is a big day for Elasticsearch and the Kibana team. After 5 milestone releases and over 1000 commits, we’re happy to announce the release of Kibana 3.0.0 GA. Over the last year, Kibana has moved from a simple interface to search logs to a fully featured, interactive analysis and dashboard system for any type of data. Everyday, we’re incredibly inspired by the people who tell us they’ve solved major problems, optimized their existing deployments and found insights in places they never imagined.

• Cloud Foundry and Logstash – Scott Frederick’s humble blog – The Cloud Foundry Loggregator component formats logs according to the syslog standard as defined in RFC5424. The logstash cookbook includes an example configuration for syslog consumption, but that configuration follows an older RFC3164 syslog standard.

  Here is a logstash configuration that works with RFC5424 output, with some additional changes for Cloud Foundry:
