Cloud and SaaS spending continues to grow across teams, services, and providers, changing too quickly for retrospective cost management workflows to keep up. Finance and engineering leaders often rely on last month’s reports or manually maintained spreadsheets, which don’t reflect current usage. As a result, teams lack context on how spend is trending and often discover budget overruns only after they’ve occurred.

Let's walk through setting up SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) alerts to monitor security threats in applications. We will explain what SIEM alerts are, why they're relevant with regard to application security, and provide practical examples of common alerts a developer could implement. We will show how to configure simple alerts with Honeybadger Insights.

Compliance teams are entering a moment where the expectations placed on them far exceed the visibility tools they have available. AI-driven environments introduce new forms of variance, drift, and distributed decision-making that unfold across infrastructure, models, agents, and services. These patterns do not map cleanly to the evidence structures that compliance processes rely on.

Every single day, the Sumo Logic Platform analyzes more than four exabytes of log data. The good news? The answers to your application performance, infrastructure health, and security incidents are hidden in those logs. The challenge? Historically, uncovering those answers required query language fluency. That’s why we built Mobot, our conversational interface that connects users to advanced AI capabilities using natural language.

Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) is essential for MSPs to move from reactive support to proactive experience assurance. Green lights on your internal dashboard don’t mean users are having a good experience. That was the central tension in this conversation between LogicMonitor RVP of Managed Services, Daniel Gad, and Catchpoint Field CTO, Gerardo Dada, and it’s a problem most MSPs haven’t fully solved.

Patch management is one of the cheapest security steps you can take, and one of the most often ignored. Most IT teams know they are behind on patching. They just disagree on how far behind they actually are. Here is the simple truth: That waiting period is the problem patch management exists to solve. This guide covers what patch management actually is, how the full process runs from start to finish, where most teams quietly fall behind, and what to look for in a tool that holds up today.

OpenTelemetry is one of the best things that’s happened to observability in the last decade. It’s open. It has SDKs for every language that matters. It’s vendor neutral. The OTel community has been doing the hard work of standardizing how applications emit telemetry, so that you, the engineer, don’t have to learn five different agent formats to monitor five different services.

You already have everything you need. If you’re using Sentry, you have traces, structured logs, and now application metrics. Most teams use that stuff for debugging and stop there. But get this: that same data can answer most of the product questions you’ve been sending to a separate analytics tool, maintained by a separate team, with a separate data model and a separate bill. (Not all of them.
