SEO isn't just a marketing KPI anymore. It's a security one.

Aug 18, 2026 By Sumo Logic, Inc. In Sumo Logic
On this episode of Masters of Data, we sat down with Patrick Kobly, who runs security for a boutique MSSP serving fintech, crypto, and gaming clients, to dig into how phishing has evolved past the obvious tells. Kobly walks through how attackers spin up reverse proxies behind Cloudflare, route through residential IPs to dodge reputation-based blocking, and can take a fake domain from registration to full attack in under five hours. The conversation turns into an unexpected case for treating SEO as a security discipline, since search rank and AI-generated results are now part of the attack surface too.

From alert to answer: a hands-on investigation with trace analysis in Mezmo

Aug 18, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
Authored by Sven Delmas, VP of Research at Mezmo I wanted to know what Mezmo's new trace features feel like with real telemetry behind them, so I built the smallest honest rig I could: the OpenTelemetry demo application running in a local Kubernetes-in-Docker cluster on my machine, one collector, and one deliberately simple Mezmo pipeline.

Introducing the AI toolkit - build a SquaredUp plugin from a single prompt

Aug 18, 2026 By Blog In Squared Up
When we introduced the Low Code Plugin (LCP) framework in February, the premise was simple: if a system has an API, you should be able to build a plugin for it — quickly, with minimal code, and in a way you can share with the community. The "AI-ready" part was deliberate. The framework was designed to work naturally with AI assistants, so the path from idea to working integration would be as short as possible. That design decision is now paying off.

Full-Pipeline Blueprints Are Here: Source, Processors, and Destination in One Click

Aug 18, 2026 By Adnan Rahic In ObservIQ
Blueprints launched as processor bundles, and that solved the repetitive middle of the problem. But the middle was never the whole job. You still had to know which source type to add, which parameters mattered, how to batch for your backend, and how to route it all together. That changes now. The first two cover the two requests we hear most.

How we teach LLMs to write BadgerQL

Aug 18, 2026 By Kevin Webster In Honeybadger
We just added two new AI features to our app: natural-language translation for Error search and Insights queries. Honeybadger has two query languages: Error search speaks a simple token syntax in the spirit of Solr or a basic Elasticsearch query, while Insights runs on BadgerQL (BQL), our own language for digging into your event data, designed to feel familiar to CloudWatch Insights and Splunk users. Both are powerful, but sometimes you just want something that works without having to open up the docs.

How to Monitor Docker Containers You Cannot Rebuild or Redeploy

Aug 18, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
How long would it take you to get one new line of code into the container running your payment service? In a lot of organizations, the answer runs to weeks, because the change has to clear a build owner, a test cycle, and a release window that nobody wants to open early. That timeline is why so much monitoring advice fails on contact. Most of it opens by telling you to add a library, rebuild the image, and push a new version. If you could do that this afternoon, you would have done it already.

Starlette Is Adding Native OpenTelemetry Tracing. Here's What That Means for Your APM.

Aug 18, 2026 By Sarah Morgan In Scout
If you run Starlette or FastAPI in production with an APM tool, you should keep an eye on PR. It adds native OpenTelemetry HTTP server spans directly into the framework. No external instrumentor, no monkeypatching. Just spans emitted from the router itself. At Scout Monitoring, we instrument Starlette and FastAPI through our Python agent. A change like this touches how every APM tool in the Python ecosystem works with these frameworks, ours included.

Making Machine Data Easier to Onboard, Prepare and Trust with AI-Powered Data Management

Aug 18, 2026 By Michelle Corpora In Splunk
Every investigation, detection, dashboard, and AI-assisted workflow depends on one thing: data that teams can trust. But as environments grow more distributed, the data behind those experiences gets harder to manage. New applications, cloud services, security tools, infrastructure, and network devices constantly generate machine data, and each new source can introduce new formats, missing fields, inconsistent mappings, and pipeline changes that require expert attention.

Why You Shouldn't Vibe Code Your Monitoring Tool

Aug 18, 2026 By Dejan Lukić In AppSignal
Vibe coding made building software feel almost too accessible. You describe what you want, an AI assistant scaffolds it, and a few hours later, something is running. So, it was only a matter of time before developers started asking the obvious question: why should I pay for a monitoring tool when I can just build my own? In all fairness, the DIY instinct is a healthy one. But monitoring is one of the last corners you’d want to cut.
