How to Fix Cyclic Inheritance Errors in Icinga Director during Object Configuration

Icinga Director is a powerful tool that greatly simplifies the configuration, management, and deployment of monitoring objects in Icinga. It provides a user-friendly interface and automation features that make complex setups easier to maintain. Occasionally, though, you may unintentionally introduce a cyclic inheritance while configuring templates. A typical case occurs when a template imports another template that eventually imports the original one again.

Ep 20: re:Invent FOMO? Dojo AI demo

Not heading to re:Invent this week? Don't worry—we've got you covered. In this episode, we welcome Architect Solutions Engineer, Jake Lee, to preview the exciting new Sumo Logic tools we are showcasing in Vegas. Our new SOC analyst agent acts as an AI partner that instantly assesses incident severity and recommends next steps—no more drowning in alerts. The MCP server breaks down barriers by letting you query Sumo Logic from Slack or integrate security insights directly into your IDE.

New agents in the Dojo: Expanded Sumo Logic Dojo AI

Back in September, we unveiled Sumo Logic Dojo AI, our agentic AI platform built to power intelligent security operations and incident response. With that launch, we introduced Mobot, our conversational interface, as well as our first agents designed to help automate routine tasks, streamline investigations, and give security teams the freedom and ability to focus on analyzing the highest value security issues facing their organization. Today, we’re excited to share the latest additions to Dojo AI.

#AI Powered Data Protection Inside Cribl Guard

Cribl Guard uses an always running AI agent to spot sensitive data as it moves through your environment and recommend the right protections in real time. In this demo, you will see how the agent samples live events, identifies patterns like credentials and credit cards, and turns them into one click fixes that keep your destinations safe. Faster detection, smarter rule recommendations, and instant mitigation. This is what modern data protection looks like.

Why AI Will Push #Telemetry Budgets to the Breaking Point in 2026

Telemetry growth is about to hit a new level in 2026. Nick Heudecker from Cribl walks through our new predictions report and explains why observability costs are set to surge again, with more than a third of enterprises spending at least 15 % of their IT budgets on telemetry alone. He also shares how agentic AI adds new risk to the data pipeline, why most AI workloads will struggle to scale, and how platform shifts and market forces will reshape the data landscape.

Design as Infrastructure

SaaS products that are built for engineers power critical workflows, yet their designs are often afterthoughts. SaaS products often assume that technical audiences will figure out their way through a complex experience, or just forgive them for the paper cuts on the way. A foundational design system can be perceived as a layer of polish rather than an infrastructure investment, especially in the early stages of a startup.

How Browser Monitoring Tools Enhance Application Reliability & User Experience

Modern web applications are increasingly complex, with dynamic content, single-page apps (SPAs), APIs, and third-party integrations. For businesses, ensuring application reliability and a seamless end-user experience is critical. Poor performance can lead to customer dissatisfaction, revenue loss, and reputational damage. This is where browser monitoring tools and browser performance monitoring come into play.

Monitoring Azure Metrics to Protect Uptime And Stop Threats Early

This is the fifth blog in our Azure Monitoring series, and we’re focusing on what’s most critical: keeping your environment secure and always available. Performance and cost mean nothing if your services go offline or your data is compromised. In this post, we’ll highlight the Azure metrics that help CloudOps teams detect threats early, build resilience into their stack, and stay ahead of outages before they impact users or compliance.

Why Browser Monitoring Is Essential for Early Outage Detection in Multi-Cloud Environments

Businesses are quickly adopting multi-cloud because they can use AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and other cloud providers at the same time to make their systems more reliable, scalable, and effective. This distributed strategy gives more freedom and makes it less dependent on vendors, but it also makes things more complex and maximizes the chance of outages, which are hard to identify. In multi-cloud settings, failures do not necessarily indicate that everything stops functioning.

Comprehensive Browser Monitoring for Modern Web Apps: Mastering API & SPA Performance

Modern websites and applications are no longer simple HTML pages. As applications evolve into sophisticated single-page applications (SPAs) built with frameworks like React and Vue and rely heavily on API-driven architectures, the need for advanced browser monitoring has never been more critical.
