Verascend Incident System Graylog's agentic layer that turns correlated, risk-scored alerts into verified incidents. Graylog’s Verascend Incident System turns risk-scored alerts into verified incidents before analysts open a case. Alert fatigue is a math problem. Tuning is a workaround. Verascend combines risk-scoring, event consolidation, and two AI agents to confirm which correlated events are real incidents, automatically, before an analyst ever opens a case. Analysts investigate. They don’t filter.

We turned the mic around for this episode, with Zoe Hawkins interviewing Adam White and Jake Lee about Sumo Logic’s redesigned free trial. The new 14-day sandbox comes preloaded with realistic data feeds, Cloud SIEM, and our AI agents, so no one has to build collectors or open tickets before finding out whether the platform fits. Adam and Jake walk through the guided “choose your own adventure” paths, the broad, open-ended questions that bring out the best in Mobot, and how the trial will keep pace with new releases.

We use Sentry's new Regex search for Logs to hunt for non-obvious bugs in our app. What do you do when traces show that Postgres jobs are backing up? Logs are trace-connected, so by looking at one of the affected traces, we can see all of the logs on that trace. In there, we can see Postgres has logged that it acquired a lock only after a long wait. Using regex, we can find all of these logs that describe acquiring a lock after a 10-second-plus wait. That narrows our search from thousands or hundreds of logs down to about a dozen.
