The Hard Part of Incident Remediation Is Knowing When to Act

Oct 28, 2026 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic
A critical application slows overnight. Monitoring identifies an unhealthy component, and an engineer finds a familiar remedy: restart a service. The command takes seconds. Determining whether the restart will restore the application or disrupt another dependency takes far longer. That is the real challenge in enterprise incident remediation. Most IT teams already know how to automate a task.

Scaling Agentic ITOps: From AI pilots to autonomous IT operations

Oct 27, 2026 By Rob Pickering In BigPanda
For enterprise IT leaders, the question is no longer whether AI agents can help run IT operations, but how to scale them beyond pilots and into the everyday work of keeping the business online. It’s no coincidence that this year’s Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference (IOCS) opens with a keynote dedicated to scaling agentic AI to enable autonomous IT operations. At BigPanda, we’ve seen a shift from the ITOps leaders we work with every day.

What Does AI Need to Know Before You Trust It? | AI SREDo you like this personality?

Oct 26, 2026 By BigPanda In BigPanda
AI can make decisions. But can it make the right ones across your entire IT environment? For enterprise SRE teams, trustworthy AI requires three things: operational context, institutional memory, and guardrails. Without them, autonomous action becomes a risk instead of an advantage. In our latest webinar, we explore what it takes to bring AI SRE capabilities to enterprise scale.

Meet Loom

Oct 23, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector
When something breaks on a large network, the alerts arrive from every direction. Routers, firewalls, cloud gateways, and applications each report their own symptoms. The evidence that explains the incident is scattered across anomalies, configuration changes, topology, and past incidents, and an engineer has to piece it together by hand. Loom is the correlation and root cause agent in Selector Foundry, the agentic NetOps platform built on Selector’s existing AIOps and Observability platform.

Why 76% of AI agent pilots stall, and how your Agentic ITOps pilot can avoid the same fate

Oct 21, 2026 By Sam Osborn In BigPanda
The debate is no longer whether AI belongs in ITOps; it’s about how quickly it can be implemented, how to measure it, and who’s accountable when it acts. And although IT leaders across industries are scrambling to integrate agentic AI into their operations, those deployments are facing serious challenges. A new Harris Poll survey of more than 300 U.S. data and AI decision-makers puts a number on the problem.

How to End Tribal Knowledge and Make Every IT Practitioner an Expert

Oct 20, 2026 By Resolve In Resolve
Every IT organization has a small group of people who hold the answers everyone else depends on, and that dependency carries a cost that never appears on a dashboard. It shows up in constant interruptions, on-call rotations that keep routing back to the same names, investigations rebuilt from scratch every time an incident resurfaces, and the pressure carried by the one person who knows how the environment behaves under stress.

Meet Artist

Oct 16, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector
Every network team keeps a dashboard backlog. A war room needs a view of one incident. A service owner wants path health for a single application. An executive review needs business impact on one page. Each request becomes a ticket for the tooling team, and the view often arrives after the moment that needed it has passed. Artist is the dashboard agent in Selector Foundry, the agentic NetOps platform built on Selector Analytics.

BigPanda has been recognized as a Niche Player in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Applications in IT Service Management report

Oct 15, 2026 By Rob Pickering In BigPanda
On August 17, Gartner placed BigPanda in the Niche Players quadrant of the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Applications in IT Service Management (ITSM). It’s our first time on this MQ, after an honorable mention last year. I’m glad we’re there, and I want to explain why a company that doesn’t sell an ITSM platform reads that as a strong result.

When five agents are looking at the same IT incident, which one makes the decisions?

Oct 15, 2026 By Rob Pickering In BigPanda
It’s 2:14 am, and checkout latency at your largest retail store has tripled. Your observability platform’s agent has already posted to Slack that there is a connection pool exhaustion on the orders database, with a link to the trace. Your cloud provider’s agent reports a degraded network path in one availability zone. The AI SRE tool one of your product teams adopted last spring points to a deploy that went out at 1:50.

What Is IT Change Management? Process, Types, and Best Practices

Oct 15, 2026 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic
Last updated: Oct. 15, 2026 IT environments change constantly. The challenge is making those changes without creating unnecessary risk, outages, or delays. IT change management, called Change Enablement in ITIL 4, helps teams assess, authorize, implement, validate, and learn from changes that could affect an IT service. The goal is not to slow delivery. It is to improve change success while reducing disruption, recovery time, compliance risk, and impact on critical business services.

Vulnerability Management and the Risk You Cannot Patch This Weekend

Oct 12, 2026 By Digitate In Digitate
✓ operational truth Operational risk is no longer limited by the ability to find vulnerabilities. It is limited by the ability to prioritize them by business exposure and to act on the large share that cannot be patched at all. Autonomous IT changes this by mapping findings to applications and owners, automating the work around the patch, and proposing evidenced mitigations where no patch exists.

How Configuration Monitoring Helps Detect Zero-Day Activity

Oct 9, 2026 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic
Last updated: October 9, 2026 A zero-day vulnerability may be unknown, but its effects often are not. Exploitation can leave behind observable changes: a new privileged account, an altered management setting, an unexpected file, a modified access rule, or configuration drift from an approved baseline. That makes zero-day configuration monitoring an important part of a defense-in-depth strategy.

Meet Rosetta

Oct 9, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector
During an incident, the answers an engineer needs are spread across tools. Telemetry sits in one place, configurations in another, and tickets in a third. Building a complete picture means knowing which tool holds which piece and how to query each one, usually under time pressure. Rosetta is the conversational interface for Selector Foundry, the agentic NetOps platform built on Selector’s existing AIOps and Observability solution.

Building Reliable IT Infrastructures

Oct 9, 2026 By Sam Osborn In BigPanda
Downtime is expensive, and it’s getting harder to avoid. Every year, enterprise IT environments grow more distributed, dynamic, and difficult to maintain with legacy tools and manual processes. With unplanned outages costing enterprises nearly $25,000 per minute, establishing and maintaining a resilient IT infrastructure is essential. Enterprises have already invested heavily in resilient architecture.

Event Intelligence and the Diagnosis Gap: When Logs Are the Only Witness

Oct 8, 2026 By Saravanan Kandasamy In Digitate
✓ operational truth Incident diagnosis is now the longest phase of resolution because evidence is fragmented, expertise sits with a few people, and cloud and SaaS estates no longer allow engineers to log in and look. Event Intelligence closes the gap by correlating events into a single probable cause, mining logs automatically, and arriving at the incident with a hypothesis already formed.

Observability vs Monitoring: Why Does IT Still Find Out After the Business Does?

Oct 6, 2026 By Digitate In Digitate
✓ operational truth IT finds out late because traditional monitoring is built to detect what goes wrong, not what has quietly stopped happening. Closing that gap requires observability that validates business journeys end to end, detects missing activity, checks its own coverage, and predicts degradation before a threshold is ever crossed.
