Transforming enterprise data monitoring: The Elastic-Kyndryl partnership

Data has increasingly become the lifeblood of businesses in every industry. As a result, the importance of robust, reliable data pipelines cannot be overstated. However, these pipelines can encounter issues that disrupt data flow, leading to incomplete or incorrect dashboards. This is where the Elastic platform and our partnership with Kyndryl make a critical difference. 

This blog post will delve into how our combined expertise and innovative solutions offer unique value to enterprises by enabling proactive data pipeline monitoring.

The significance of data pipelines

Every piece of data in an enterprise environment embarks on a complex journey. It originates from various sources and then gets processed and transformed, stored in data warehouses or lakes, and finally visualized on dashboards for decision-makers. This process, often referred to as ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), is at the heart of any data-driven decision-making process. Each stage presents unique challenges that can disrupt the seamless flow of data. Our aim at Elastic, in collaboration with Kyndryl, is to ensure that these challenges are proactively identified and addressed, thereby ensuring data integrity.

Facing the challenges

The challenges that can disrupt data pipelines are manifold. Most of the time, it is due to issues at the data source. Servers might be down, there could be connectivity or authentication issues, and so on. When this happens, there would be missing data, and dashboards won't be able to show the correct or complete data. Thus, ensuring the integrity of data from its source to its final destination is paramount.

The Elastic-Kyndryl partnership: A proactive approach

This is where the partnership between Elastic and Kyndryl comes into play. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of the Elastic platform, businesses can shift from reactive to proactive data pipeline monitoring. Our aim is to ensure that the challenges that can disrupt data pipelines are proactively identified and addressed, thereby ensuring data integrity.

How does this work? The Elastic platform offers features like watcher, which allows you to define conditions for specific data patterns or changes. If the conditions are met, it triggers alerts. These alerts can be configured to reach the appropriate stakeholders or support teams, allowing them to take corrective action without having to wait for the end-users to report issues.
