Using AI to Instrument Applications with OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry is one of the best things that’s happened to observability in the last decade. It’s open. It has SDKs for every language that matters. It’s vendor neutral. The OTel community has been doing the hard work of standardizing how applications emit telemetry, so that you, the engineer, don’t have to learn five different agent formats to monitor five different services.

From AI Sprawl to Orchestration: Delivering Intelligence as a Service

Most enterprise AI deployments were never designed to coexist. They were designed to prove a point, respond to a board directive, or secure a budget. The result, two years into the generative AI cycle, is an expanding estate of disconnected models, fragmented pilots, and overlapping capabilities that collectively deliver far less value than the sum of their parts. HFS Research calls it "death by a thousand POCs". The more precise description is architectural negligence at an enterprise scale.

Meet the new Mobot: Your log analysis partner

Every single day, the Sumo Logic Platform analyzes more than four exabytes of log data. The good news? The answers to your application performance, infrastructure health, and security incidents are hidden in those logs. The challenge? Historically, uncovering those answers required query language fluency. That’s why we built Mobot, our conversational interface that connects users to advanced AI capabilities using natural language.

Why Nearby Search Optimization Matters for Modern Dental Clinics

Picture this: it's Saturday night, someone cracks a tooth on a piece of hard candy, and the absolute last thing they're doing is flipping through a phonebook. They're on their phone within seconds, searching for help. If your practice doesn't appear in those results, someone else's does, and that's a patient you just lost without ever knowing it. According to recent data, 98% of consumers search online for nearby companies, which means showing up digitally isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's your front door.

Honeycomb Canvas: The Multiplayer Workspace for the Agentic Era

Last week, we launched a major update to Canvas, our investigation workspace. The new Canvas has evolved from an AI co-pilot you chat with to a place where your whole team, human and agent, can work the same problem on the same surface. Auto-investigations begin the moment a trigger, SLO, or anomaly fires. Custom skills encode your team's runbooks so every agent investigates with your team's expertise built in.
