Bindplane Launch Week 1 [June 2-6] - Day 2 - Custom OTel Collectors
The point of OpenTelemetry has been to give you a choice. Yet, most observability vendors still insist you run their collector. We’re removing that last point of friction. With Bring Your Own Collector (BYOC), Bindplane now accepts any upstream-compatible build, recognizes exactly which receivers, processors, and exporters it contains, and adapts the UI and configuration workflow on the fly. No forks, no vendor stamp—just the collector you already trust, fully managed by Bindplane.
Telemetry for Modern Apps
This video features a joint session hosted by the Checkly team in collaboration with Mezmo. We discuss current practices and challenges in web application monitoring. The session explores practical strategies, shared experiences from both teams, and insights into how modern engineering teams are approaching observability and reliability at scale.
How to send alerts from self-hosted Grafana to Grafana Cloud IRM
Learn how to send alerts from Grafana OSS or Grafana Enterprise to Grafana Cloud IRM. In this quick demo, we'll show you how to set up the integration between your self-hosted instance and our managed solution for consolidating, customizing, and automating incident response and management. Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started with Grafana dashboards, metrics, logs, and traces. Our forever-free tier includes access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces and more.

Edge Data Replication: Contributions and Status Updates for InfluxDB 3
If you’ve ever stood up multiple edge InfluxDB instances in remote locations and wished you could consolidate their data into a centralized instance for analysis, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why we designed Edge Data Replication (EDR) in InfluxDB v2. Now, with InfluxDB 3 Core and 3 Enterprise, we’re seeing new ways to handle replication using the brand-new Python Processing Engine.
Operational Resilience in 2025: Meeting New Standards, Mitigating New Risks
In a world of constant disruption, operational resilience is now mission critical. From cyberattacks and misconfigurations to vendor outages and natural disasters, today’s enterprises are navigating risks that move faster and hit harder than ever before. As we enter 2025, operational resilience has evolved from a best practice to a board-level imperative.
How to send alerts from Grafana OSS to Grafana Cloud IRM
In March, we announced that Grafana OnCall (OSS) had entered maintenance mode. However, OnCall’s development continues in Grafana Cloud as Grafana Cloud IRM, combining on-call management and incident response into one integrated solution. Many users told us they still want to self-host Grafana and rely on Grafana Alerting to detect potential issues early—but they also need to escalate and manage incidents using an incident response management (IRM) solution.
Optimizing the end-user experience: How to perform a browser check in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring
Synthetic monitoring is a vital practice to proactively track the health and performance of web applications. Instead of waiting for users to report problems, synthetic monitoring helps developers catch issues before they impact real users. One powerful type of synthetic monitoring is the browser check. These checks go beyond basic ping checks, simulating how a user would actually interact with your website’s interface.
