SREs are famously skeptical of AI — so how do you convince them to trust agents in production? In this episode of Grafana’s Big Tent, Tom Wilkie talks with Spiros Xanthos (Resolve AI), Manoj Acharya (Grafana Labs), and Cyril Tovena (Grafana Assistant team) about agent-first observability. They unpack knowledge graphs, LLM reasoning, autonomous debugging, pricing models, and the “Claude Code moment” for observability. Is autonomous production ops closer than we think?

As the final minor release in the Grafana 12 series, 12.4 builds on our shift toward scalable, as-code workflows and a dramatically improved user experience. From bi-directional Git workflows to smarter dashboard layouts and stronger governance controls, this release is all about helping teams move faster with less friction.

Now in public preview, Dynamic dashboards includes new features and a revamped user experience that make it even easier to find the exact insights you need, when you need them.

In this video, Roberto Jiménez, Staff Software Engineer at Grafana Labs, shares that Git Sync is expanding beyond GitHub to include universal support for different providers. The implementation uses two layers.

OpenTelemetry co-founder Ted Young joins Grafana’s Big Tent podcast to explain how observability evolved beyond logs, metrics, and traces. Learn why tracing is just logging with context, how OpenTelemetry became a standard, and what’s next for zero-touch instrumentation and AI-driven observability.

The Grafana Cloud app for Slack brings observability and incident response closer to where you and your teams already collaborate Ask questions about system health, alerts, on-call schedules, and Grafana Cloud features; manage incidents and alerts; and collaborate with full context.
