How Support Uses Honeycomb to Debug Honeycomb

Jun 2, 2026 By Sara Cave In Honeycomb
You'd think that working at an observability company means everyone knows exactly where to find everything in the data. It doesn't. Especially not on the support team. We're the ones who get the tickets. We're in the telemetry every day trying to figure out what went wrong for a customer, and we do that by pointing Honeycomb at itself. Here's how that actually works, and how it's changed.

Splunk Observability at Cisco Live: Agentic Observability for the AI Era

Jun 2, 2026 By Cale Hilts In Splunk
Observability has always been about seeing clearly under pressure. But the pressure has changed. Applications are more distributed. Kubernetes environments keep expanding. Digital experiences depend on services, APIs, networks, third-party providers, and now AI models and agents that can make decisions faster than a human team can review every signal.

The Observability Journey: Getty Images and Cribl

Jun 2, 2026 By Cribl In Cribl
I recently sat down with Simon Overbey and Lovepreet Singh - the Engineering Manager and systems engineer (respectively) at Getty Images to talk about their experiences implementing Cribl. After getting a rundown of the pre-Cribl environment (described above) I asked to jump straight to the end, the net benefits. If the "before" was a terrifying tidal wave of cost and complexity, what did the "after" look like?

How to Build Real-Time Supply Chain Observability

How to Build Real-Time Supply Chain Observability

Jun 2, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
"One missing pallet." That's how a warehouse supervisor in New Jersey described the start of a week-long supply chain mess back in 2024. One pallet. Then came delayed trucks, angry retailers, overtime pay, and a customer threatening to walk. In logistics, small gaps don't stay small for long. And the uncomfortable part is that most teams are already working hard. The issue isn't effort. It's alignment. The data exists in most organizations-it just doesn't show the same reality at the same time. Which leaves a basic question surprisingly hard to answer: what's actually happening right now?

Your telemetry, your apps: Inside the Cribl App Platform

May 30, 2026 By Cribl In Cribl
You already use Cribl to tame your telemetry data. Now you can turn that data into apps your teams actually want to use. In this video, we walk through the Cribl app platform and show how real apps solve real problems: guided troubleshooting for noisy incidents, opinionated security views, and exec-friendly ROI dashboards. You’ll see how apps sit on top of Cribl Stream, Edge, Search, and Lake, so you reuse the data and logic you already have instead of building custom tools from scratch.

The Kubeshark Workflow That Doesn't Stop at the Dashboard

May 27, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
The Observability Gap shows up the moment you try to reproduce a production bug locally. Your traces tell you a request was slow. Your logs tell you which line printed. Neither tells you what was actually on the wire: the headers, the JSON body, the surprise field your client started sending last Tuesday. Until now, closing that gap meant SSHing to a node, attaching a debugger, or shipping a sidecar through change review.

What is AI-Powered Observability? A Complete Guide for IT Teams in 2026

May 27, 2026 By Jagdish Sajnani In Motadata
Is your monitoring stack really giving you clarity, or just more alerts? Your monitoring stack is probably working exactly as designed. That is the problem. As systems grow, most IT and platform teams start to see the same patterns: At this point, traditional monitoring starts to feel limited. This is where teams begin exploring AI in observability. In this guide, we will explain what AI-powered observability actually means, how it works, and when it is useful.

Everything We Talked About at O11yCon 2026

May 27, 2026 By Ken Rimple In Honeycomb
We just wrapped O11yCon 2026, and this year's conversations hit differently. Agent-based software development is here, now. It's no longer an optional choice, and everybody is struggling to understand what their agents are doing and how to make them cost less and perform better. Over the course of fifteen talks, we saw clearly that the old assumptions on how and who (or what) writes our software has been upended. Here are some highlights. We'll have videos available in the near future.
