3 Signs Your Network Monitoring Is Failing You

Are users reporting issues before your monitoring tools do? Are critical alerts getting lost in the noise? Does root cause analysis take hours instead of minutes? These are 3 signs your network monitoring is failing. Discover how modern observability helps teams detect issues faster and resolve them with confidence.

How to run an operational excellence review for software engineering

Most engineering organizations already run something they call an operational review. It usually looks like a cousin of the quarterly business review: a deck assembled every few months, walked through team by team, anchored on whatever incidents happened to land in the previous quarter. By the time leadership sees the data, the systems it describes have moved on and the next set of risks is already accumulating in the gap.

Observability for a Privacy-first AI Wearable | Grafana Everywhere

Trust is everything when AI gets personal. Golden Grot Award winner and NeoSapien co-founder and CEO Dhananjay Yadav shares how his team uses Grafana Assistant to ensure the privacy-first AI wearable delivers a seamless, reliable experience without compromising its mission. Because when AI moves closer to our everyday lives, teams need to know what’s happening — and users need to trust that it’s working as intended.

How to build a secure AI agent sandbox with relaxAI and Claude Code

AI agents are powerful. They're also unpredictable, non-deterministic, and capable of doing things you didn't ask them to do, as the Rome Alibaba and Claude Mythos case studies make very clear. The answer isn't to avoid agentic AI. It's to run it properly. In this demo, Ben Norris, founding engineer at relaxAI, shows how to build a fully sandboxed AI agent environment from scratch, an ephemeral Civo VM provisioned via Terraform and GitHub Actions, locked down with egress policies, an unprivileged Linux user, and hard resource caps, running a Claude Code session pointed at the relaxAI API.

Only ONE company has all of DevSecOps - and it's not who you think

Harness has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for DevSecOps Platforms — for the third year in a row. Here's what stands out: almost every company in the Leaders quadrant is missing a piece. Some have Dev, some have Ops, but not the security. Harness is the one platform that brings Dev, Sec, AND Ops together — with AI built in. AI is changing how software gets built: more code, more automation, more agents — but also more complexity. Teams need delivery, security, testing, reliability, and cost in one place. That's what we're building every day.

Tapirs, Trainings, and Team Dinners: My First Kentik Meetup

Gavin joined Kentik’s People Ops team less than a year ago, so when April brought his first team offsite and his first HR conference in San Diego, it was a lot of firsts at once. He writes about meeting his colleagues face to face for the first time, what he took away from HRA 26, and his new appreciation for tapirs.

The Illusion of Control: Why Dashboards Do Not Equal SLA Protection

Modern operations teams work within a constant stream of dashboards, status summaries, and health indicators that turn complex environments into organized visual displays. Large screens show color-coded service conditions. Executive reports quantify uptime. Observability platforms map system dependencies across cloud, hybrid, and distributed architectures. This visual structure creates a sense of order. In environments defined by constant change, that sense of order can feel like control.
