Olly for SREs: 3 ways I actually use it in production

Mar 10, 2026 By Coralogix Team In Coralogix
There’s a moment after an alert where you’re not fixing anything yet. You’re trying to answer a much simpler question: Is it actually down? Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it’s 20 alerts at once with no clear starting point. Sometimes it’s a small upstream degradation that might cascade. Sometimes it’s just a spike that resolves on its own. That first phase is orientation. Is the signal real or transient? Is it isolated or spreading? Root cause or symptom?

What is Agentic Observability?

Mar 6, 2026 By LogicMonitor In LogicMonitor
Agentic observability is the instrumentation and correlation needed to explain and control agent behavior across multi-step workflows. Legacy observability focuses on runtime health and service behavior. You monitor metrics like CPU usage, memory, latency, and error rates to confirm that applications and infrastructure are functioning as expected. When a workflow degrades, the proximate cause is often a crash, timeout, permission error, or resource constraint.
