The rise of AIOps in infrastructure monitoring

Drowning in data from complex environments? Ditch the reactive approach. Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) empowers proactive management with comprehensive observability. According to Gartner, IT spending will continue to mount sky-high despite the global economic instability; the IT expenditure is predicted to surge by 8.6% in 2024. Manual monitoring often fails to keep up with the complexity of modern IT environments, leaving critical issues undetected.

Grafana Alloy 1.3 release: Debug pipelines in real time

Network Performance Dashboard

In this dashboard tutorial video, we will walk you through building a Network Performance dashboard. This dashboard provides users with the visibility they need into the status of their network performance from their offices down to an individual users device. Obtaining this single pane of glass visibility is made easy with the combination of both CloudReady and Service Watch metrics into dashboards. When utilizing these dashboards, users can quickly identify which networks are performing poorly, allowing them to quickly resolve issues and ensure end users have an optimal experience.

How to Send Grafana Alloy Logs to Grafana Loki | Ask the Experts | Grafana

In this video, Matt Durham, Sr. Software Engineer on the Grafana Alloy team, shows you how to send Grafana Alloy logs to Loki. Specifically, we address the question: "Is it possible to send data from one Grafana Alloy to another? Could anyone supply me with config examples of such interactions? If I send data from Grafana Alloy directly to Loki, it is working. If I send data from Grafana Alloy to another, and then to Loki, the second instance gives me an error.".
