Find the Retry Loop Burning Your AI Agent Budget with Tracing | Splunk Agent Observability

One of the most expensive failure modes in AI agents is a silent retry loop. An agent hits a rate limit, blindly retries until it succeeds, the user gets a response, and no ticket ever gets filed. Under the hood, tokens are burning, latency is compounding, and a transient error today becomes a sustained outage tomorrow.

AI SRE Agent Slack Integration: Ask AURA About Your Kubernetes Cluster | HQ

Running an agent in your cluster should not mean opening it to the internet. AURA reaches Slack over an outbound socket, so the cluster stays locked down. Jeff Vogt connects an AURA deployment running in Kubernetes to Slack using AURA's direct Slack integration. The setup is a Slack app with an app token and a bot token, plus a few lines added to the deployment's configuration. The Kubernetes MCP server is already deployed and connected to AURA before the video starts.

It's a Critical CVE, Now What?

Bryan Peace Leon Adato break down what exactly security-minded IT folks - whether they work in SRE, dev, networking, or more esoteric disciplines - should do when a new, critical, apocalyptic vulnerability is announced. They walk you step by step through research, analysis, and how to protect your company if a patch isn't out yet. Along the way they muse about the nature of the industry, the sudden spike in CVEs, and where to find the best hard cidr to take the edge off.

FortiGate, PAN-OS and Zscaler dashboards: get firewall logs into the fields they read

FortiGate, PAN-OS and Zscaler now each have a six-dashboard pack in the Dashboard Library, live on every Logs stack. If your firewall logs already arrive as parsed module fields, the Library pre-selects the matching pack. If they don't, it won't, even when the firewall has been sending syslog for years. This post is about that gap: which parsed fields each pack reads, the Filebeat module settings that produce them, and the API checks that tell you whether the dashboards will fill before you install them.

Elastic is a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave for AIOps Platforms, Q4 2026

Forrester gave Elastic the highest possible scores in five criteria: algorithmic trust and explainability, observability as code (OaC) and GitOps alignment, AI stack and semantic observability, sovereign deployment and data isolation, and pricing flexibility and transparency.

Ship SecOps changes like software: Modernizing the SOC without breaking what works

Cribl gives security teams control over their data: what they collect, where to send it and how much to keep. The rest of the SecOps stack hasn’t kept pace. Detections, parsers and configurations spread across SIEMs, pipelines and data lakes still change by hand, so every cost cut, migration or new source turns into weeks of manual validation, and plenty of planned changes never happen at all. SecOps as Code closes that gap: every change ships like software, with testing, version control and rollback across the entire infrastructure.
