What problem is agentic AI trying to solve?

Agentic AI isn’t limited to security operations. It’s already improving hospitals, financial systems, and service industries by reducing overload and filling skill gaps. Here’s the problem it was actually built to solve. Additional Resources: About Elastic Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale. Elastic’s solutions for search, observability, and security are built on the Elastic Search AI Platform — the development platform used by thousands of companies, including more than 50% of the Fortune 500.

Build, buy, or open source? Understanding your options with Grafana's AI-powered observability

Some questions in engineering never go away. Here’s one that every team eventually confronts: Do we roll up our sleeves and build the tooling ourselves, or do we buy something built for us? It’s a choice that has the power to speed teams up or hold them back. With the rise of AI-powered observability, this familiar software dilemma has re-emerged with higher stakes and faster-moving technology.

SRE Report: AI optimism and the economics of effort

For eight years, the survey behind the SRE Report has used a consistent methodology. That consistency allows us to track how reliability work evolves over time, rather than relying on snapshots. One of the most stable questions in the survey asks respondents to estimate how much of their work, on average, is spent on toil. Between 2020 and 2024, responses showed a gradual decline in reported toil.

Introducing Skylar Advisor: You Need an Advisor, Not an AI Assistant

What Companies Get Wrong About Autonomous IT, And What Actually Moves Them Forward

Many organizations approach Autonomous IT with the assumption that adding more tools, more data, or more automation will eventually produce self-governing operations. This assumption creates the illusion of progress. Complexity does not resolve itself when new systems are layered on top of existing ones. In most environments, each new tool adds another interpretation of the truth, which compounds the cognitive load on teams and forces more reconciliation, not less.

Exploring Splunk Alternatives [2026]: Deep Dive into Log Analysis

Splunk isn't bad software. It's genuinely powerful. But in 2026, a lot of engineering teams are asking a fair question: are we getting $300K worth of value out of this? More often than not, the answer is no. We went through 15 alternatives - read the docs, tested where we could, and talked to engineers who made the switch. This is what we found.
