This can lead to remote code execution and complete system compromise.

Seeing that VictoriaMetrics products are this popular with engineers worldwide is fantastic: Just a little over a year ago, we hit 10K stars, and with the adoption of VictoriaLogs, the star count now went beyond 14K. We don’t take these GitHub Stars milestones for granted: It’s amazing to see these stats grow organically thanks to the community of users out there who use our products. Thank you so much!

We consistently roll out helpful updates and fun features in Grafana Cloud, our fully managed observability platform powered by the open source Grafana LGTM Stack: Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, and Mimir for metrics. With GrafanaCON 2025 — and the release of Grafana 12 — earlier this month, there are a ton of Grafana Cloud updates to share.

Cribl Packs have always provided a powerful way to package and share configurations across Cribl Stream environments. From pipelines to lookups, knowledge objects to functions—Packs make telemetry pipelines simple and portable. Now, we’re excited to announce a game changing expansion: Sources and Destinations can now be included in Cribl Packs!

Imagine this. You’re walking your dog, sipping a coffee, when your phone buzzes: Each ping comes from a different app, but they all have one thing in common: notification software. It’s woven into our everyday lives – quietly buzzing, blinking, or nudging us with information. But when it comes to critical operations in IT, healthcare, logistics, or utilities, not all notifications are created equal. Some are simply updates. Some are mass notifications. Others require immediate action.

Let’s be honest. AI features can sound cool on paper, but too many tools overpromise and underdeliver. At Logz.io, we didn’t want to build “yet another AI chatbot.” We wanted to create something our engineers and yours would actually use when incidents hit, logs explode, or someone asking, “What just happened to production?” Here’s how our AI Agent evolved from a basic chat interface to an incident-resolving, log-analyzing, doc-digging, context-aware assistant.

Elastic collaborates with Red Hat on the validated pattern to enhance financial analyst workflows with RAG-powered search. We’re excited to share that Elastic and Red Hat have partnered to create validated patterns that integrate Elasticsearch’s generative AI (GenAI) and vector search capabilities with Red Hat OpenShift AI. This integration can run on accelerated hardware on-prem or in IBM Cloud to power retrieval augmented generation (RAG) solutions.

We've all been there. Users report that applications are slow, calls are dropping, or that "the internet is broken." Yet, a glance at the network dashboards shows a sea of green—latency looks acceptable, packet loss is minimal, and bandwidth seems fine. This common scenario highlights a fundamental challenge in network observability: the perceived disconnect between the technical measurements we gather and the actual experience of the people using our digital services.

We’re excited to announce that Early Warning Signals are now available in Slack! Early Warning Signals help you detect service disruptions before they’re officially reported. Now, these critical notifications will show up directly in your Slack workspace, keeping your team in the loop without having to check your email.

Fluentd is popular for its flexibility and extensive plugin support, making it easy to collect, process, and forward logs from many different sources. However, as environments scale and observability needs evolve, teams often seek alternatives that offer lower resource usage, easier configuration, broader telemetry support, or tighter integration with their existing toolchains.
