Accelerating MTTR with New VDI Experience Enhancements

Jul 14, 2026 By Dennis Damen In Nexthink
For IT teams supporting VDI environments, the hardest part of a support ticket is rarely the fix itself – it's figuring out where the problem actually lives. And in most cases, first-level support engineers don’t have access to both the present and historic VDI-specific insights needed to triage the problem, so these VDI tickets are quickly escalated to the VDI team.

Announcing vmestimator: Real-time Cardinality Estimations for VictoriaMetrics and Prometheus

Jul 14, 2026 By Pablo Fernandez In VictoriaMetrics
Cardinality problems usually begin with a small change that looks harmless: you add a label, and suddenly one metric turns into thousands of unique series. Cardinality explosions are often caught only after performance degrades. And at that point, your observability stack may be degraded and painful to troubleshoot. vmestimator is a new project specifically designed to follow cardinality trends in real time and send you alerts before they turn into a real problem.

Create uptime monitors by asking Claude Code (MCP demo)

Jul 14, 2026 By Monitive In Monitive
Create and manage uptime monitors without leaving your editor. In this demo I connect Claude Code to UptimeMonitoring's MCP server with one command, then just ask it to monitor six sites. It creates all six, runs the first check, and reports back, then shows the live monitors in the dashboard. What UptimeMonitoring is: MCP is a thin layer over a normal REST API; if you'd rather curl + cron, that path is first-class.

Unlock AIOps with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and LogicMonitor Edwin AI

Jul 14, 2026 By Margo Poda In LogicMonitor
Edwin AI and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform help ITOps teams move from correlated alerts and root cause analysis to governed, auditable remediation. When an outage starts, the first alert is only the first artifact. The harder work follows: grouping related signals, separating symptoms from cause, identifying the affected service, and deciding whether the next action is safe to run.

A new way to SIEM

Jul 14, 2026 By Clint Sharp In Cribl
For years, security teams have been sold the same bargain: send in more data, buy more tools, tune more rules, and you'll be better protected. In practice, a lot of teams have ended up with the opposite. They're carrying more cost and more complexity, and they still don't have much confidence that their detections are actually working the way they should. That's the backdrop for why Cribl is acquiring CardinalOps.

Life after SaaS: Enabling the System of Context

Jul 14, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
By: Tucker Callaway, CEO at Mezmo The market keeps saying “SaaS is dead.” That’s probably true, but it’s also incomplete. What’s actually dying is the idea that value lives inside a vendor-controlled black box. The next era is about utilities: unlimited coding capacity and unlimited analytical capability. And if those two utilities are real, then the vendor model has to change.

We built an SRE bot on AURA. Here's what we learned.

Jul 14, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
PagerDuty fires. You open the incident. Title, timestamp, nothing else. Whatever context exists is in someone's head, in a Slack thread from two weeks ago, or in a runbook nobody has touched since the last reorg. We got tired of that. So we put an AURA agent behind a Slack bot and pointed it at our own production environment.

An SRE agent for production

Jul 14, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
AI has changed how software gets built. It hasn't changed how software gets run. Most of the AI money in software has gone into the IDE: code generation, copilots, developer assistants, faster pull requests. That work matters. But writing software is one slice of the lifecycle. The harder problem, and the more expensive one, is running that software in production. Production is where systems fail in ways nobody predicted. Incidents don't stay inside one service.

Why does Asset Management Software Matter for Business?

Jul 14, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
If an audit happened tomorrow, could you account for every IT asset your organization owns? For many IT teams, that question gets harder every quarter. Assets are scattered across offices, remote devices, spreadsheets, and cloud subscriptions, making them difficult to track. By the time an audit or renewal arrives, the gaps have already become costly.
