Bindplane Community Call in March 2026

Tune in for the Bindplane Community Call in March to learn more about SSO going GA, a wave of new updates, connectors, sources, and destinations, including a VictoriaMetrics partner integration — and a preview of what we're building next. We'll also share details on meeting the Bindplane team at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe in Amsterdam. As always, hands-on demos and a live Q&A at the end.

Mastering the Diagnostic pivot from Health Policy to Pod

In the world of modern microservices, scale is a necessary challenge. Enterprise service inventories start modestly with a handful of components, only to balloon to hundreds over time. Traditional monitoring approaches cannot support that weight. The more organizations build, the more work they create, often only to keep systems running.

Log Correlation for Security and Performance Monitoring

International travel comes with amazing sights, cultural experiences, and local delicacies. However, most travelers know that it comes with differing economies that impact a money’s value and various currencies. When people need cash, they have to translate the money in their wallets to the local currency, which means different coins and bills. Depending on the exchange rate, the currency’s value can change as the person moves from one country to another.

The future of Search is here: Faster, simpler, AI-driven

Do more with less. That’s the mandate we’re all hearing. AI has fundamentally changed how we work. Modern AI workloads generate 10-100x more queries than humans ever could, pushing legacy architectures past performance limits. And the audacity of it all? Legacy logging vendors continue to raise costs without delivering meaningful innovation. IT and security teams are still forced to choose between speed and retention. Investigations are still slow. Data onboarding is still painful.

Unleashing Resilience: Why the Agentic Era Demands a Unified Data Fabric

Imagine starting your day with a dozen disconnected apps where your calendar does not sync with your reminders, your maps do not know your appointments, and your contacts are not linked to your messages. You would constantly be scrambling, missing key details, and reacting late to what matters most. In our personal lives, we depend on tight integration to keep pace with the world. In business, the stakes are even higher.

Olly for SREs: 3 ways I actually use it in production

There’s a moment after an alert where you’re not fixing anything yet. You’re trying to answer a much simpler question: Is it actually down? Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it’s 20 alerts at once with no clear starting point. Sometimes it’s a small upstream degradation that might cascade. Sometimes it’s just a spike that resolves on its own. That first phase is orientation. Is the signal real or transient? Is it isolated or spreading? Root cause or symptom?

The architecture advantage: Why the data layer decides the AI race

Dozens of startups are sprinting to build the next “agentic SIEM” that can autonomously detect, investigate, and respond to threats. They’re well-funded, well-marketed, but structurally hollow. Here’s what it usually looks like: an LLM layer on top of a thin orchestration engine on top of fragmented or customer-hosted data lakes. While it looks impressive in a demo, it quickly falls apart in production. Why? It’s not built on a strong foundation.

Try Cribl Now! Sandboxes let you get hands-on experience with Cribl without the fuss or friction.

What is Cribl Guard background detection?

Security and compliance teams need to know exactly what sensitive data is flowing through their environments and where it’s going. ​​Because surprise PII is no one’s favorite kind of surprise. Meanwhile, upstream teams are shipping new apps, changing schemas, adding fields, and generally moving fast. However, you can only manage and protect the data you currently know of and expect. But sensitive data has a habit of showing up where no one expected it…
