Teams that build agents on open models hosted on Fireworks AI, such as GPT-OSS, Kimi, GLM, Qwen, and MiniMax, need a reliable way to measure whether their LLM applications and agents are giving accurate, safe, and helpful answers efficiently. Datadog Agent Observability now supports Fireworks AI as a model provider, so you can get end-to-end visibility into your agents built on Fireworks AI, from traces and token usage to quality evaluations.

AI can already tell operations teams what is wrong. The harder part is everything between knowing and doing. Skylar is closing that gap through guided action: recommendations grounded in live operational context, reviewed by the right owner, and connected to governed execution. In many post-incident reviews, the surprising moment is not when the team finally understood the problem. It is when they realize how long the organization waited after it already knew enough to act.

The best alert is the one that never fires. Picture an idyllic Tuesday afternoon: last night's release nudged checkout p99 up 41%, but an agent noticed. Nobody got paged, and your SLOs didn't start burning. Instead, the agent acted and already narrowed it down to one retry change. It filed a ticket for the Payments team and flagged the PR. By the time anyone would have noticed, the fix is in review. That's what SRE was always supposed to feel like.

Domain-specific ITOps agents are designed around the systems, data, and tasks involved in operating production IT. Learn how specialized agents work together and how Edwin AI applies them across incident investigation and response.

If your IT team struggles to track devices, software licenses, warranties, and contracts, managing assets can become difficult. IT asset lifecycle management software helps you track every asset from purchase to retirement. It gives your team a clear record of: However, tools differ in their discovery methods, lifecycle workflows, license tracking, deployment options, and pricing.

How many devices are on your network right now? The usual answer is “check the spreadsheet”, and nobody is quite sure which copy is current. That's awkward during an outage and worse during an audit, or on the day a vendor advisory asks which switches run a vulnerable firmware build. Network inventory management retires that spreadsheet. In its place, you get a record that changes when the devices do, with hardware, addresses, VLANs and every router and switch config in one place.

Many Grafana Cloud customers love what Alloy offers them, but we're also seeing a growing base of users who feel the same way about the OpenTelemetry Collector. We want to make it easy for customers to make the decision that makes the most sense, regardless of their preference.

When an application request slows down, a trace can show a database call. Finding the database query behind it can be tedious, requiring you to switch between traces and database telemetry, as well as match timestamps or query text by hand. In Grafana Cloud, the Database Observability app already provides a window into all of your database telemetry, including query samples, performance history, and explain plan.

If your Node app talks to MongoDB through the official mongodb driver, 7.8.0 is worth upgrading to before your next routine dependency pass. It’s a minor version by the number, but it carries two security fixes, and one of them changes how a feature you may already be using behaves.
