Context engineering: The missing layer for trusted AI in financial services

Financial services AI demands more than models and prompts. Context engineering provides real-time, governed, and explainable intelligence with Elastic serving as the foundational context layer. Artificial intelligence in financial services is no longer constrained by model capability. The real bottleneck is context.

Log Drains Now Available: Bringing Your Platform Logs Directly Into Sentry

Sentry now supports log drains, making it easy to forward logs into Sentry without any application code changes or manual project-key lookups needed. If your logs already exist somewhere else, you can now see them alongside errors and traces in Sentry, no code changes required. Already want to get started? The quickstart guide is one click away.

From Atlassian JSON to Actionable Audit Insights

Atlassian audit logs carry high-value security and operational signals, yet the raw format makes them hard to use in day-to-day investigations. Nested JSON, arrays inside arrays, and localization keys turn routine questions into slow, manual work. For lean Security and IT teams, that friction shows up as delayed triage, fragile dashboards, and alerts that fire without enough context to act.

Taming Atlassian Audit Logs: Processing messy JSON to enable operational insights

Atlassian’s audit records are data-rich, but messy. In this data-driven deep dive, Eddy Gurney from NetScout shares what it took to get them into Graylog. He walks through four pipeline approaches and why each fell short, then shows how moving parsing to the edge with Filebeat unlocked Graylog. With clean, flattened events flowing in, alerts and dashboards turn “noise” into operational visibility. You’ll also see how Sidecars makes config rollout easy, plus what changes to make if you’re on Atlassian Cloud instead of Data Center.

Stop Sifting Logs: Find Production Errors in Seconds with `severity=error`

Want your log queries to be more precise? Is your vibe code flooding you with logs and need a helping hand to make sense of it all? Good news! We've upgraded our log query language to be more powerful, flexible, and intuitive, letting you focus on finding answers fast rather than endlessly scrolling through your logs. And that's not all: We've revamped our logging interface, making it easier than ever to manage logs, customize views, and leverage log attributes.

Top 12 Distributed Tracing Tools in 2026: Complete Comparison & Reviews

Distributed tracing has become essential for modern software teams. As applications evolve into complex distributed systems with microservices, APIs, databases, and third-party integrations, understanding how a single user request travels through your entire stack is no longer optional, it’s critical for maintaining performance, reliability, and user satisfaction.

Bindplane + Statsig Integration: Unified Telemetry for Product Metrics and Experimentation

We’re excited to announce a new integration between Bindplane and Statsig, making it easier to collect, process, and route OpenTelemetry signals into Statsig at scale. This integration provides a seamless way to connect Statsig with the OpenTelemetry ecosystem using Bindplane’s vendor-neutral, OpenTelemetry-native telemetry pipeline. Focus on product insight, not collector operations.

Take Back Control of Your Observability Spend

As budgets reset for 2026, engineering leaders are making a resolution: no more vendor lock-in. Here’s how to keep that promise by building on the technical foundations of data reliability and simplified collection. It’s January 2026, and if you’re like most engineering leaders, you’re staring at your observability vendor contracts with a mix of frustration and resignation.

Kubernetes Logging Best Practices

You’re sitting at your desk, typing away, when all of a sudden you hear a “ping!” Unfortunately, you have a browser with fifteen tabs open, a task management application, email, messaging applications, and calendars all open, making it difficult to know exactly which technology just pinged you. To identify the source, you open your system settings and look at the notifications section to see which ones you allow to make a sound.
