Matt Toback is the VP of Culture at Grafana Labs. We published our original company values back in December 2020. We were a young company, growing fast, and fully remote.

Real measurement that connects delivery speed, quality, and reliability to business outcomes and decision-making.

A step-by-step look at how Edwin AI uses native LogicMonitor logs, topology, and context to turn root cause analysis from alert-driven inference into evidence-backed investigation. Most root cause analysis today starts with alerts and ends with explanations that sound reasonable but can’t be verified. An alert is fed into a language model, and the output looks like an answer.
