Time-series view of how consistently a reservation has been utilized and which resources are consuming it. Makes underutilization or coverage gaps visible at a glance instead of requiring manual investigation.

Alerts when a schedule has been disabled for longer than a set threshold (e.g., 7+ days). Solves the common failure mode where a team disables a shutdown schedule for maintenance and forgets to turn it back on, quietly costing money.

A dynamic alternative to static schedules. Define filters (subscription, resource group, tag) once, and matching VMs are automatically picked up, including new ones added later. Supports both metric-based triggers (e.g., CPU under 5% after 8pm) and time-based power on/off.

Sometimes there's a vulnerability in a package you can't remove. Legacy dependencies don't always come with an easy fix. The one thing you don't do is bury it in the backlog with no dates and no reasoning attached. This video covers what a defensible response actually looks like: Your ability to show your work on unfixed vulnerabilities is more important than simply identifying them.

Many times, it feels like you're maintaining multiple versions of the same dashboard (with a slight modification), *OR* simply spending more time writing queries rather than actually looking at the actual data? In this Campfire community call, we're taking a deep dive into two things that are reshaping how Grafana dashboards get built: Dynamic Dashboards and the Grafana AI Assistant and showing you how to combine them to go from a blank canvas to a reusable, production-ready dashboard in minutes.

You get an answer from the agent and no way to check how it got there. The route it took is recorded, and so is the reason it gave for taking it. AURA emits OpenTelemetry spans, and the Docker quickstart wires them straight into Phoenix. Four services come up together: AURA Web Server as the persistent agent harness, LibreChat as a browser interface for chatting with the agent, Phoenix to receive the spans, and MongoDB to store stateful data for LibreChat. The Compose file arrives pre-configured to point AURA at Phoenix and to enable content recording for the local demo.

The same agent that reads a Kubernetes cluster reads a Windows machine. One MCP server, one config entry, and the questions are the ones you already ask.

See how Skylar Automation transforms incident response by orchestrating workflows across the tools your teams already use. In this demo, watch Skylar Automation respond to a critical service degradation by automatically creating a ServiceNow incident, paging the on-call engineer in PagerDuty, notifying the Microsoft Teams operations channel, and keeping updates synchronized across platforms. With Skylar Automation, teams can.

When should you use gcx? If Grafana Assistant is the brain and Grafana MCP is the easy hand, gcx is the power hand. Built for AI agents working in the terminal, gcx gives them deep access across Grafana Cloud—so they can pull telemetry, verify code, automate workflows, and access places MCP doesn’t. Coding agents? gcx. Need the full Grafana Cloud surface? gcx. Automating in CI/CD? gcx. Here’s where it fits, and when to use it — explained by Nicole van der Hoeven.

Internet performance monitoring (IPM) gives IT leaders, operations teams, and network engineers visibility into the ISPs, carriers, and SaaS services their business depends on but doesn't control. In this LogicMonitor and Catchpoint webinar, Callum Brown (presales, EMEA, LogicMonitor) and Brandon Dunlap (solution engineering, Catchpoint, a LogicMonitor company) show how to operationalize IPM, moving from visibility to control.
