Identify anomalies, outlier detection, forecasting: How Grafana Cloud uses AI/ML to make observability easier

Jul 2, 2024 By Michelle Tan In Grafana
At Grafana Labs, our No. 1 approach when building AI/ML tools is to enable humans (a.k.a. all of us!) to understand complex systems. In other words, we want to make observability still human, but less complicated. (Our second use case? Making social media more fun.) We believe that AI/ML tools in observability should work towards minimizing toil and the need for everyone in your organization to have the same deep domain knowledge about your increasingly complex stack.
