Good observability starts with good data. In this clip, we hear how Cribl gives teams real control over their data pipelines so they can collect, enrich, and route telemetry from any source to the right destination. It is not just about more dashboards or another platform. It is about building an observability ecosystem that connects IT, security, and the business through cleaner data and smarter AIOps. Tool rationalization and AI driven pipelines are not future goals. They are happening right now.

In this episode of Masters of Data, we dive into how AI learns, examining both how we teach it and what it derives from human performance, as well as why context plays a crucial role in AI interactions. We break down five key components of AI training and talk about why we should view AI as a tool under human control rather than an autonomous entity. We explore the challenge of maintaining context in AI—much like our own memory struggles—and discuss methods, such as retrieval-augmented generation, that can help AI retain context more effectively.

Over 30% of your production logs might be useless DEBUG logs! This "bad telemetry" is expensive noise. The KubeCon talk I attended introduced a project called the Instrumentation Score which helps you find and fix bad telemetry.

How do you get developers to instrument their code? You stop asking! Instead, pitch the value of observability by building them dashboards and implementing the no-code change solutions first, demonstrating the value of instrumentation.

In an era where telemetry data grows at a 28% compound rate while budgets remain flat, traditional IT and Security approaches are facing unprecedented pressure. Join our distinguished customer panel as they share their transformative journeys with Cribl's data engine solutions. Our panelists will discuss how Cribl's vendor-neutral portfolio has enabled them to regain control over their data infrastructure, achieving both immediate operational improvements and strategic long-term advantages.
