Raygun APM Agent 3.1: async traces that stay with the right request
Raygun APM Agent 3.1 introduces more accurate asynchronous request tracing for Windows, Linux, and Azure App Service. Version 3.0 rebuilt the foundation of the Agent, profiler, installers, and release pipeline. Version 3.1 builds on that work with a focused improvement for ASP.NET Core: automatic request correlation that follows asynchronous execution without requiring developers to instrument their application.
Best AI Observability Tools in 2026: 8 Tools Compared
Eight LLM and AI agent observability platforms compared: what each tracks, pricing and free tiers, self-hosting options, and who each is built for. Sejal Pandey works on content and growth at Last9, writing about observability, reliability, and SRE practices.
IT Service Management for Government and Public Sector Organizations
What happens when a citizen-facing portal fails on the last day of a filing deadline, and the only record of the outage lives in an email thread between two engineers? In a commercial organization, that is an operational embarrassment. In a government department, it is a hole in a statutory record that an auditor will eventually ask about.
PCI DSS Requirement 10: Logging and Monitoring in v4.0.1
Version 4.0 renumbered PCI DSS Requirement 10 from end to end, and the Council retired v3.2.1 on 31 March 2024. Sub-requirement numbers written before then mostly point somewhere else now. Four more Requirement 10 rules changed status on 31 March 2025, automated log review among them. Checking your numbering against v4.0.1 costs an afternoon and saves a finding. In this blog, you will: PCI DSS Requirement 10 covers audit logging and monitoring across the cardholder data environment.
Wide Events vs. Three Pillars: AI Observability Costs
As agentic AI workflows gain traction within organizations, those organizations are asking how to account for their behavior while keeping costs manageable. Some are sticking with the old three pillars of observability approach: take a measurement to create a metric, record output to a log, and track serial progress with a trace. Each of these is useful, but treating them as distinct formats from the start means paying for them distinctly too. Separate storage doesn't come cheap.
Introducing Infrastructure Knowledge: Teach Netdata AI What Your Metrics Can't Show
Netdata AI sees everything your infrastructure does: every metric, every anomaly, every alert. It does not see what your infrastructure is: which services matter, which host is supposed to run hot, who owns what, what your team considers normal. Without that context, “CPU at 91%” is just a finding. With it, it might be a machine doing exactly its job.
