Domain Health Check: Why It Matters and What It Reveals

Your domain is more than a URL- it’s the control plane for how people (and machines) reach your website, apps, and inbox. When something breaks at the domain layer, the symptoms look “random” (site intermittently down, emails bouncing, logins failing), but the root cause is often predictable: misconfigurations, weak authentication, or degraded DNS performance. A domain health check is the fastest way to surface those issues before customers do.

Event context, tags, logs and metrics | Debugging Next.js Applications with Sentry

Adding additional information to issues captured in Sentry can help you identify and prioritize your most critical issues. Logs and Metrics help build context around the error and understand correlation and causation all in one place due to everything being trace connected.

When DIY Becomes a Network Liability

There is a satisfaction in building things yourself. It is the same psychological hook that powers the endless stream of DIY renovation videos on your social media feeds. You watch a sixty-second clip of someone transforming a pile of lumber into a custom coffee table, and it looks ingenious, cost-effective, and uniquely tailored to their needs. It triggers a powerful "why buy when I can build?" mindset.

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.

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.

Introducing Obkio's Remote User Monitoring Plan: For Distributed Workforces

The way we work has fundamentally changed. Remote and hybrid work aren't temporary shifts; they're the new reality for most organizations. And with that reality comes a challenge IT teams know all too well: how do you troubleshoot network issues for users you can't physically reach?

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.

From Ukraine to the Cloud: Stories of IPv4 Migration

This post expands on our analysis from last year that revealed that as much as 20% of IPv4 space has migrated out of Ukraine in the years following the Russian invasion in February 2022. This update reveals that AT&T (a popular destination for Ukrainian IPs) has since implemented a policy ridding itself of customers using AS7018 to originate their routes, often to support residential proxies.

Scaling AI Reliability: Real world lessons from Mistral AI

How does one of the world's leading AI companies keep its infrastructure reliable while shipping new models constantly? In this webinar, Devon Mizelle, Senior SRE at Mistral AI, shares the real story. Devon walks through how Mistral built an automated system that generates synthetic checks for every model the moment it goes live—no manual configuration, no forgotten monitors, no inconsistent alerting. Using monitoring as code, his team eliminated the toil of maintaining hundreds of checks across a rapidly evolving model ecosystem.

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.
