Summary The five most recent plugins from the InfluxDB team are live: Sagemaker, value counter, Chronos forecasting, simple data replicator, and a stock portfolio tracker. Table of Contents The InfluxDB team has released five new Processing Engine plugins. They range from making it easy to call a hosted ML model to pulling in stock market data in real-time. Every one of them can be activated with a few terminal commands.

Helsinki, Finland — Aiven has acquired Flow AI, a company building infrastructure for production-grade analytical AI agents. The integration of Flow AI technology will accelerate Aiven's product roadmap and make it easier for customers to securely and scalably run production AI applications and agents next to their data.

AI agents fail differently from the software we spent the last two decades learning to monitor. We hear some version of the same story from teams shipping agents to production: an agent starts producing wrong answers. Not obviously broken: confident, well-formatted, plausible wrong. The logs are clean, latency looks healthy, and error rates sit at zero. Nothing flags a problem. A user eventually does.

We are absolutely thrilled to share with you all that Coralogix has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms. When we architected Coralogix around in-stream processing, open-format storage, and index-free query, we weren’t optimizing for where observability stood at the time. We were building for the world it was heading toward.

We’re delighted to share that Grafana Labs has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms for the third consecutive year. Notably, we’re also positioned furthest in “Completeness of Vision” for the second year in a row.

We are thrilled to announce that Datadog has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms, for the sixth consecutive year. We believe this recognition reflects our continued focus on helping customers observe, secure, and act on everything that matters across their technology stack. Datadog was positioned highest in Ability to Execute in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms.

---‍Key Takeaway: Today, we're launching the public beta of the Harness CLI: the single, officially supported command-line tool for the entire Harness platform. It replaces the older per-module CLIs with one binary, one grammar, and one auth flow across pipelines, CD, code, artifacts, IaCM, feature flags, governance, and audit. Designed for secure DevSecOps and enables terminal workflows for developers and deterministic execution for AI agents. ---

Cardinality problems usually begin with a small change that looks harmless: you add a label, and suddenly one metric turns into thousands of unique series. Cardinality explosions are often caught only after performance degrades. And at that point, your observability stack may be degraded and painful to troubleshoot. vmestimator is a new project specifically designed to follow cardinality trends in real time and send you alerts before they turn into a real problem.
