Upgrading to ActiveMQ 5.19.7 or 6.2.6
The latest Apache ActiveMQ releases – 5.19.7 and 6.2.6, both from May 27 – are good releases to apply. They close known dependency CVEs and tighten the broker’s default posture. (We covered the full list of changes in our release overview.) But here’s the catch with any “secure-by-default” update: hardening defaults means turning things off.
Apache ActiveMQ 5.19.7 and 6.2.6
On May 27, the Apache ActiveMQ project shipped two releases on the same day: 5.19.7 and 6.2.6. Look at the changelogs side by side and the story is clear — this isn’t a feature drop. It’s a coordinated security-hardening pass applied to both maintained branches of ActiveMQ Classic at once, with the same fixes deliberately backported so that no supported line is left behind.
The Silent Killer of IBM MQ: How One Leaky App Can Crash Your Entire Estate
A single leaky application can crash your entire IBM MQ estate by consuming OS resources through unclosed connections. Traditional monitoring misses these silent killers. Learn how proactive observability detects OPPROCS anomalies before they trigger infrastructure failures.
Getting Started with NinjaOne dashboards
If you manage endpoints for a living, you'll know the problem isn't a lack of data. It's that there's too much of it, scattered across too many places. A modern IT team or MSP might be looking after thousands of devices spread across dozens of customer organizations, each generating a constant stream of alerts, patch results, antivirus events and disk warnings. NinjaOne does a great job of collecting all of that.
Observability for Healthcare Systems | Grafana Everywhere
Grafana Assistant is going places you might not expect — including healthcare. Golden Grot winner Oren Lion from TeleTracking reveals how Grafana Cloud supports their systems that help keep patient care moving — and how Assistant enables teams to get from “what happened?” to “here’s why” faster. From moon landings to patient care, Grafana is everywhere. Congratulations to Oren, Chris Johnson, Mark Munson, and the entire TeleTracking team on winning this year's Golden Grot Award for Pioneering AI in Observability!
CLI and MCP Basics for AI Agents (The Context Window #4)
MCP vs CLI: which one should your AI agent actually use? We get into it with Grafana's cloud and OSS MCP servers and gcx.
Grafana Assistant Context Offloading
Context Offloading is a pipeline solution for managing Observability with AI Agents. If you are building AI Agents that work with real data, the context window can very easily get filled with bloated context that the Agent does not really need. Sven demonstrates "Context Offloading", a solution that stores the JSON result and sends only the summary of the JSON blob, making the LLM loop performance much quicker and keeping your context window small.
AI Observability Deep Dive Demo | Grafana Cloud
Grafana AI Observability is our new database and platform for observing AI Agents. Over the past year at Grafana Labs, we built Agents and we needed a way to understand how they are performing, what are the costs associated with them, what's the error rate or time to the first token as well as how they are behaving. Grafana Staff Engineer, Ivana Hučková provides a deep dive demo on how Grafana AI Observability connects our experience building Agents with our experience building observability systems.
Introducing Bits Agent Builder: Build agentic workflows for alert response and remediation
Building automated workflows that adapt to real-world complexity can be a challenge. As systems scale and scenarios multiply, teams often end up hardcoding endless logic branches just to handle every potential outcome. That’s why we’re introducing Bits Agent Builder, a powerful new tool that lets you create custom AI agents that are fully hosted by Datadog.
