Service Desk Automation: What It Is and How to Get Started

Jun 2, 2026 By Jagdish Sajnani In Motadata
How much of service desk work is problem solving and how much is repeat work that continues every day? Most service desks follow the same pattern daily. Password resets, access requests, software installs, approvals, and routine fixes keep coming in. These tasks are simple on their own, yet together they take most of the team’s time and push important incidents further down the queue. The main challenge is the constant flow of repeat work that reduces time for focused tasks.

How Support Uses Honeycomb to Debug Honeycomb

Jun 2, 2026 By Sara Cave In Honeycomb
You'd think that working at an observability company means everyone knows exactly where to find everything in the data. It doesn't. Especially not on the support team. We're the ones who get the tickets. We're in the telemetry every day trying to figure out what went wrong for a customer, and we do that by pointing Honeycomb at itself. Here's how that actually works, and how it's changed.

Microsoft DNS management in OpUtils: One console for complete control

Jun 1, 2026 By Aiswarya Giridharan In ManageEngine
For network administrators, managing DNS has traditionally meant juggling zones and records across separate server interfaces, manually tracking changes, and responding to resolution failures after they’ve already caused disruption. We’re excited to introduce Microsoft DNS management in ManageEngine OpUtils, bringing DNS zone and record administration directly into the same console you already use for IP address management (IPAM).

What's New in Tempo 3.0

Jun 1, 2026 By Grafana In Grafana
Tempo 3.0 introduces a major architectural shift that decouples the read and write paths, with Kafka handling durability on the write side and a new live store serving recent traces on the read side. Blocks are now written at a replication factor of one instead of three, significantly reducing storage overhead. This release also brings TraceQL metrics to general availability, adds comparison operators for filtering metric results at query time, and introduces a new Tempo CLI redact command for removing sensitive trace data on demand without waiting for retention to expire.

Tempo 3.0 release: a new architecture for scale and lower TCO, TraceQL metrics GA, and more

Jun 1, 2026 By Tiffany Jernigan In Grafana
Tempo started with a simple goal: make distributed tracing easier to run at scale. As tracing adoption has grown, however, so have the challenges, including higher data volumes, more complex architectures, and increasing demand for real-time insights directly from traces. Over the last year, we’ve been evolving Tempo’s architecture to meet that moment. And today, we’re sharing the results of those efforts with the release of Tempo 3.0.
