Ep 41: The cost of not thinking: Who's responsible when AI agents get it wrong?

May 5, 2026 By Sumo Logic, Inc. In Sumo Logic
In this episode of Masters of Data, we get into the messier side of AI adoption, tackling questions like who actually owns the output when AI gets it wrong, and whether chasing efficiency is making us forget what it means to be human in the first place. We discuss tech CEOs proudly announcing they no longer think for themselves and debate whether AI is quietly eroding our critical thinking skills. We make the case that purpose-built, narrow AI is genuinely exciting, but that no efficiency gain is worth losing the human touch that makes work, connection, and creativity meaningful.

Taming Log Noise With the OpenTelemetry Collector's Drain Processor

May 4, 2026 By Mike Goldsmith In Honeycomb
Do you receive 50 million log lines per day and struggle to see what actually matters? Health checks, heartbeat pings, connection pool messages—they all drown out the errors and anomalies you're trying to find. Most teams deal with this by writing filter rules to drop the noisy patterns. But those rules are manual, per-pattern, and brittle. A new deployment changes a log format and the filter misses it. A new service starts logging a chatty startup sequence nobody thought to exclude.

How the Coralogix CLI Adds Production Intelligence to Any Agent for Any Use Case

May 4, 2026 By Chris Cooney In Coralogix
The new interface into production telemetry is a tool call, made from whichever agent runtime the operator happens to be using at that moment. A finance lead in Claude Code, a product manager in Cursor, an engineer in Codex. Three different jobs, three different agents, three different reasoning loops. The thing they have in common is the data layer underneath.

Real-Time Database Monitoring: Solving Database Latency with Zero-Code eBPF Tracing

May 3, 2026 By Jonny Steiner In Coralogix
In high-throughput database environments, a latency spike is rarely a simple story. Modern data layers are distributed, stateful, and constantly changing as shards move, nodes rebalance, caches warm, queries evolve, and connections churn. In practice, spikes usually come from one of three places: For many SRE and Platform teams, the real challenge is disconnected tooling. As one engineering lead recently shared during a technical workshop: “It’s all disconnected.

Understanding the Three Pillars of Observability: Logs, Metrics and Traces

Apr 30, 2026 By Sandro Lima In ChaosSearch
Many people wonder what the difference is between monitoring vs. observability. While monitoring is simply watching a system, observability means truly understanding a system's state. DevOps teams leverage observability to debug their applications, or troubleshoot the root cause of system issues. Peak visibility is achieved by analyzing the three pillars of observability: Logs, metrics and traces. Depending on who you ask, some use MELT as the four pillars of essential telemetry data (or metrics, events, logs and traces) but we'll stick with the three core pillars for this piece.
