Executive Buy-In is Driving Observability Maturity: 2025 Observability Survey Results | Grafana Labs

In this video, CTO Tom Wilkie from Grafana Labs breaks down some of the most compelling findings from our third annual Observability Survey, based on over 1,200 industry responses. The big takeaway? Executive involvement is on the rise—and it’s accelerating adoption of advanced observability practices like distributed tracing, profiling, and SLOs. He also explores how SaaS adoption, the maturation of central observability teams, and new instrumentation methods like eBPF and Beyla are reshaping the observability landscape.

Observability and IT Monitoring for Federal, State, and Local Government | LogicMonitor

If you work in public sector IT—whether at the federal, state, or local level—you know how complex things have gotten. Keeping everything running smoothly is a daily challenge between aging infrastructure, hybrid cloud environments, and growing cybersecurity demands. LogicMonitor's hybrid observability platform powered by AI helps government IT teams simplify monitoring, reduce alert noise, and avoid issues with AI-powered insights. You’ll see how observability helps agencies.

Calico Whisker, Your New Ally in Network Observability

With the upcoming release of Calico v3.30 on the horizon, we are excited to introduce Calico Whisker, a simple yet powerful User Interface (UI) designed to enhance network observability and policy debugging. If you’ve ever struggled to make sense of network flow logs or troubleshoot policies in a complex Kubernetes cluster, Whisker is your friend!

Prometheus Monitoring in 5 Minutes: Set Up Your First Alert

Prometheus is an open-source toolkit for systems monitoring and alerting, designed to collect and store metrics as time-series data. It was initially created at SoundCloud, and has since become essential in the cloud-native ecosystem, benefiting from a powerful query language, dependable alerting functionality, and a pull-based architecture. Prometheus effectively monitors rapidly changing container environments, microservices, and cloud infrastructure. Its main benefits include.

Using eBPF for modern IT observability: challenges and opportunities

Modern IT demands modern observability that flows with its dynamism and all-encompassing approach. Modern observability must overcome the constraints suffered by traditional monitoring due to its custom-built agent-based architectures. Monitoring tools converge poll-based methods with log analysis and application performance monitoring (APM), a process that can be slow and lacking in granularity that today's complex environments demand.

Simplifying public sector observability with OpenTelemetry and Elastic

Public sector organizations today face unique challenges in maintaining and optimizing their IT infrastructure and prioritizing efficiency and interoperability. With a mix of modern cloud and legacy systems, ensuring consistent performance, reliability, and security is paramount. To effectively observe across these environments, government agencies need observability tools that are open, flexible, and scalable. OpenTelemetry (OTel) is fast becoming a pivotal part of that flexible toolset.

Coroot v1.9: Kubernetes-Native Database Monitoring Made Easy

From day one, we built Coroot to work beyond just Kubernetes. Many teams still run databases and other stateful services on dedicated VMs or bare-metal servers. But that’s starting to change. More and more teams no longer see Kubernetes as a platform just for stateless apps. Powerful Kubernetes operators now handle day-2 operations like failover, backups, and disaster recovery—making it easier than ever to run databases on Kubernetes. And the number of teams choosing this path keeps growing.

DX Operational Observability: Troubleshoot WebHook Notification Channels with WebHook Data Collector

The power of AIOps and Observability relies on the ability to ingest, normalize, and correlate the large volumes and huge variety of data available to IT operations teams. With its support for both Broadcom and third-party data, DX Operational Observability (DX O2) gives these teams unmatched observability and insights. With so much data coming to DX O2, monitoring operators need to be notified when important events may occur: Without notifications, important alerts may be overlooked.
