AI-powered insights for continuous profiling: introducing Flame graph AI in Grafana Cloud

Like many in the observability space, we see a lot of potential in harnessing AI to enhance the developer experience. As we continue to evolve and expand our observability platform, we strive to develop features that not only solve complex problems, but make it easier to access and derive value from tools like Grafana Pyroscope.

Tackling the Unsustainable Skills Challenge in Cybersecurity and Observability

This is the third and final post in a series of blog posts about the disconnect between modern IT and security teams and the vendors they’re forced to work with. If you’re looking for the first and second posts, you can find them here and here.

5 Top Kubernetes Observability Challenges and Solutions

Observability in IT refers to the ability to measure a system's internal functioning by studying its signals from the outside. Modern IT observability is achieved through three kinds of telemetry: metrics, traces, and logs. Metrics aggregate events to gauge a system’s current state. Tracing tracks the progress of each transaction to not only measure performance but also debug the problem. On the other hand, logs record each event, which can help during troubleshooting.

Major Improvements For Linux Users In Tracealyzer v4.9

Installation on Linux has been greatly simplified in the upcoming Tracealyzer v4.9. The installation package now includes everything needed to run the software. Linux users no longer need to install dependencies like Mono or libgconf. Instead, a native Linux binary is provided (for x86-64) with the Mono runtime integrated. Most other dependencies have been replaced or removed. You are up and running in a few minutes. We have also spent a lot of time improving the overall user experience on Linux.

Building for the Fortune 500,000: 80% to go...

To the Sentry community - It was sixteen years ago that David Cramer pushed the first commit to a side project, and twelve years ago when he and Chris Jennings turned this side project into a company that exists to solve a simple problem: making debugging any software issue dead simple. Since then, we’ve been on a path slightly different from what most people consider “observability.” Sentry isn’t a platform or a company that wants to collect logs and check a monitoring box.

The Expensive Cost of 'Free' Kubernetes

In recent years, Kubernetes has emerged as the go-to solution for container orchestration, offering flexibility and scalability for deploying and managing applications. However, organizations quickly realize that the allure of its open-source nature can be deceiving—while free to download, the costs of managing Kubernetes can stack up rapidly. Initially embraced for its agility, Kubernetes soon reveals its complexity.

Accelerate root-cause analysis with AIOps

The digital landscape is evolving constantly — as is its complexity. Organizations need more efficient and effective ways to sort through high volumes of IT noise to identify the root cause of incidents. In a recent webinar with BigPanda CIO Jason Walker and Waste Management Principal Architect Udo Strick, Joe Connelly — director of monitoring, observability, and service reliability at Chipotle Mexican Grill — shared his perspective on.

What Is S3 Intelligent-Tiering? Here's What You Need To Know

Here’s the thing. You frequently access some files, but not others. So, if you can determine the most appropriate storage tier for any given data/object automatically, you can transform it accordingly. That means you can save both time and money by not manually deciding which files to move to their best storage class. To help optimize things, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a new storage class called S3 Intelligent-Tiering Storage.
