Bindplane Agent Is Here: Build, Edit, and Understand Pipelines in Plain Language

Sep 15, 2026 By Justin Voss In ObservIQ
Pipeline Intelligence already recommends processors, reads live telemetry, detects log types, and generates processor bundles from natural language. But most of it lives inside a single processor node. You still have to know which one to open and what to ask for. This changes today. Bindplane Agent is your AI assistant inside Bindplane, ready to act on what you describe in plain language.

Sep 10, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
Most log management tools bill you on log ingestion, the volume of data you send them. That works until your log volume doubles, and the invoice doubles with it. The best log management tools let you control what gets indexed and kept, so growth stops being a budget problem. In this blog, you will see: By the end you will know which fits your volume. Log management is the full lifecycle of your log data, from the moment it is collected to the moment it is deleted.

Redact PII at the edge - and still be able to search for it

Sep 10, 2026 By Austin Sabel &Adnan Rahic In ObservIQ
Ask a platform team why their application logs aren't in their observability backend and you'll often get a one-sentence answer: And, that's where the conversation ends. The logs stay in a silo. Or, they don't get collected at all. The team loses the troubleshooting signal, and nobody revisits the decision because the alternative looks like a compliance violation. Application logs in healthcare, aviation, insurance, and retail are full of personal information that should not be stored in plain text.

Log ingestion: you are probably paying to store logs you will never read

Sep 9, 2026 By Pierre Fersing In Bleemeo
The default way to adopt log management is to ship everything and search it later. It is the path every vendor’s quickstart puts you on, and it is the reason log bills surprise people: ingestion is priced by volume, so“ship everything” is a spending decision disguised as a configuration default. The uncomfortable part is that most of that volume is never read. Nobody greps last Tuesday’s 200 OK access lines.

Log Filtering: How to Cut Log Ingest Volume Without Losing Evidence

Sep 7, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
Every log estate reaches a point where volume grows faster than the value inside it. The usual response is to find the biggest source and drop it. Cutting volume is the easy part. Cutting the right half takes judgment. Log filtering is only one of four options for an expensive source, and the other three matter just as much. In this blog, you will: By the end you can defend every rule you write, including the ones that keep data. A volume cut fails in two directions.

The pager shouldn't be what starts the investigation

Sep 3, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
Authored by Greg Janco, Engineering Manager at Mezmo I've always thought there was something backwards about incident response. An alert fires at 3 a.m. PagerDuty does its job. Somebody wakes up, grabs a laptop, connects to the VPN, opens the alert, and then starts answering the same basic questions we ask at the beginning of almost every incident. What changed? What else is broken? Have we seen this before? Some of those need a human eventually. A lot of the first pass doesn't.

Automate Product Analytics reports with your agent and the CX CLI

Sep 3, 2026 By Coralogix Team In Coralogix
Every page view, click, and session your RUM SDK captures lands in Coralogix as a log event under the cx_rum subsystem — the raw data behind how people actually use your product. You can turn it into a shareable report without writing a single query. Just ask your coding agent. Your agent queries that data through the CX CLI and writes the report for you: describe what you want in plain English, get a formatted report back — without leaving the terminal.
