Revolutionizing Incident Management with AI: Meet Mo Copilot

Join us for this webinar as we explore how our newly launched Sumo Logic Mo Copilot redefines incident management with the power of AI. We'll examine the limitations of traditional troubleshooting methods and why they fall short in today’s fast-paced environments. Discover how Mo Copilot leverages advanced machine learning and automation to streamline root cause analysis and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR). We'll also showcase a live demonstration and highlight how Mo Copilot integrates into your workflow, transforming how you manage operational reliability.

Advanced Container Resource Monitoring with docker stats

If you’ve ever needed to check how much CPU or memory a Docker container is using, docker stats is the command for the job. It provides real-time resource usage metrics, helping you monitor and troubleshoot containers efficiently. This guide covers everything you need to know about docker stats: how to use it, what each metric means, and how to integrate it into a larger monitoring setup.

Unlocking Zephyr Debugging

If you’ve been working with Zephyr RTOS, you know how powerful and flexible it is for embedded development. At Percepio, we appreciate Zephyr’s hardware abstraction and kernel architecture, which make it easy to get up and running on a wide range of hardware. Now, we have exciting news for developers looking to improve their Zephyr debugging and performance analysis: we’ve validated that Percepio Tracealyzer works on over 600 Zephyr-supported development boards!

Grafana Alloy: OpenTelemetry, With Some Abstraction Issues

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is supposed to be the great equalizer in observability, giving teams full control over how they collect, process, and store telemetry data. It was built to be open, flexible, and vendor-neutral. Grafana Alloy claims to be OpenTelemetry-compatible, but scratch beneath the surface, and you’ll see that, based on our investigations, it is not a neutral OpenTelemetry Collector.

Does AI Help Write Better Software, or Just... More Code?

As software teams race to integrate AI into their development workflows, we need to ask ourselves: are AI-powered tools actually making software better? The latest research from DORA confirms what many engineers have long suspected, and what we at Honeycomb have said for a long time: AI tools don’t magically lead to better software. In fact, without careful implementation, AI can introduce a whole slew of challenges, including decreased productivity and unreliable code.

Why you should never use page.waitForTimeout() in Playwright

Playwright isn’t a testing framework. Sure it’s got assertions, scripted behaviors, even controls over environments. But testing isn’t Playwright’s only purpose. Playwright is an automation tool. It can carry out any browser-based action consistently, and carry out instructions robustly. Locators for buttons and other elements aren’t visual or CSS class-based, but based on ARIA role, and even small styling changes won’t make the scripted action fail.

New Relic vs Zabbix - Which Monitoring Tool to Choose? [2025 Guide]

Monitoring and observability are critical for ensuring system performance, stability, and reliability. New Relic and Zabbix are two widely used monitoring solutions, each catering to different needs. While Zabbix focuses on comprehensive infrastructure monitoring, New Relic excels in application performance monitoring (APM) and full-stack observability.

New Integration: GitHub Issues

Healthchecks can now notify you about a failing check by opening a new issue in your chosen GitHub repository. Here is an example of how the GitHub issue might look: The technical side of creating a new issue is straightforward: GitHub has an API call for creating an issue. You make an HTTP POST request with an access token in a request header and the issue title, body, and labels in the request body. However, where do we get the access token from? The API call accepts three types of access tokens.

From detection to resolution: The DEM workflow

Like finicky eaters, customers look for a smooth, satisfying meal with each course fulfilling their needs. A slow server, a confused menu, or a process hiccup all take away from the entire experience. Companies require a strong tool, such as digital experience monitoring (DEM), to not only spot the problems but also to promptly fix them. Similar to the kitchen manager eagerly acquiring ingredients and presenting the food, the site owner makes sure everything goes well without a hitch.
