The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
What is Network Observability vs. Network Monitoring?
Network observability may be seen as a newer term in the world of networking, but it has become critical for managing modern distributed networks. As networks grow more complex with cloud services, remote workers, and distributed applications, traditional network monitoring approaches no longer provide sufficient visibility into network health and performance.
Synthetic Monitoring for Internal Applications: SAP, ERP & More
Modern IT teams know the story by heart: uptime dashboards look green, the public website is fast, yet somewhere inside the corporate network, the finance team can’t submit purchase orders and the factory floor’s ERP terminals are frozen. What broke isn’t the internet—it’s the internal backbone. These internal systems—SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, homegrown ERPs, HR and payroll platforms—keep the business running.
Google Workspace outage on November 12: How StatusGator detected it first
On November 12, 2025, users around the world faced difficulty accessing Google Workspace products including Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. While the outage did not impact every user, it was widespread and disruptive. StatusGator detected the incident early using real user data and issued an Early Warning Signal long before Google officially acknowledged the issue.
The Hidden Bottleneck in Latency: GetYourGuide's Database Performance Journey
Fast front-end and back-end code alone won’t guarantee low end-to-end latency as hidden bottlenecks in the database can undermine even the best engineering efforts. In this session, Oleksii Serhiienko, Senior Site Reliability Engineer at GetYourGuide, will share how his team put database performance at the center of their monitoring strategy. He will highlight how they identified and fixed slow queries, uncovered load balancing issues that drove significant cost savings, and built monitoring practices that improved both reliability and investigation workflows.
From Error to Fix: AI-Powered Debugging with Sentry and GitHub
This session will focus on the agent based features of Sentry for debugging an issue in a web application. We'll move through the broken issue - and show how tools like Sentry Seer and the GitHub repo integration make it easy to determine the root cause of an issue by bringing all the context of Sentry and code in GitHub together, and how the Sentry MCP makes it easy to pull all that context down into GitHub CoPilot to fix it locally.
LogicMonitor Named to CRN's 2025 Edge Computing 100: Proof That the Edge Finally Has Some Brains
Edge computing has been the buzzword of the decade. Everyone is talking about pushing intelligence closer to the edge, but most of that intelligence still needs a map and a flashlight. This week, CRN named LogicMonitor to its 2025 Edge Computing 100, recognizing companies that are actually doing something useful at the edge instead of just hyping it. We are honored. We are also a little amused.
Elastic named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Observability Platforms 2025 Vendor Assessment
We're proud to share that Elastic has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Observability Platforms 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc, November 2025). We believe this recognition validates our ongoing mission: to deliver an observability platform that is open, extensible, and AI-driven to power full-stack observability that unifies operational and business data at scale, allowing SRE teams to move from detect and resolve problems faster.
Expanding Access, Not Risk: Using the Read-Only Role in Honeycomb Teams
Observability works best when everyone who needs visibility can get it without the risk of unintentional changes. Honeycomb’s role-based access control system helps teams strike that balance with a selection of Owner, Member, and Read-Only member roles. This control gives teams more flexibility in how they share access across their organization, helping you scale visibility safely without sacrificing control.
Beyond Isolated AI: How the Selector MCP Server Connects Agents, Context, and Action
AI in network operations is evolving faster than ever. But while new models and agents are emerging almost daily, they’re often working alone, with each confined to its own context, data, and domain. One model might analyze telemetry, another handles automation scripts, and a third generates summaries or recommendations. Each model might be intelligent on its own, but without a way to share context, they end up thinking in isolation, limiting what they can achieve together.
