Watch now to explore the future of smarter, faster, and more efficient ITSM.

AURA is a fully open-source agentic harness built for SRE and production operations work. In this walkthrough, Mezmo forward deployed engineer Jeff iinstalls AURA on a local desktop, runs `aura init` to generate the config and connect it to an Anthropic Sonnet model, then wires in a Grafana MCP server pointed at his homelab. He hands AURA a live incident: a set of addressable LED lights that stopped responding to Home Assistant.

Join us as Sunil teaches how Sumo Logic is advancing observability with OpenTelemetry, AI, and automated investigations to help teams gain insights and resolve issues faster.

In this episode, Leon explores some of the new features, functions, updates, and improvements in release 4.19, which includes a raft of AI-enabled features including the Cribl Apps, integrated MCP server, and the fact that AI features are now turned on by default. For more information, check out these links.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we unpack what it actually means to expect AI to be the primary interface for everything we do. We dig into the pull toward centralizing work in a single hub like Claude versus staying spread across specialized tools like Slack, Asana and Zoom, and where the line sits between helpful automation and letting an agent speak on your behalf. We also get into the "chief of staff" agent workflow for daily roundups and why specialized, best-of-breed tools aren't going anywhere, even as hubs get smarter.

I gave myself five prompts each to build the same app in Claude using Opus 4.8, and Codex using GPT 5.5. The results were NOT what I was expecting! See which agent built the better app, which one stumbled massively, and look at the actual numbers behind these coding agents.

In this video, you'll learn what a Configuration Item (CI) is, how it forms the foundation of a CMDB, and why connecting CIs helps IT teams understand dependencies, improve visibility, and resolve incidents faster. Discover how CIs transform scattered asset data into a complete, connected view of your IT environment. Whether you're an IT Manager, IT Administrator, Service Desk Analyst, ITSM Professional, Infrastructure Engineer, or IT Operations Leader, this video explains why Configuration Items are essential for effective IT Service Management.

I tested out Luna, Terra, and Sol and analysed telemetry data - here's what I uncovered that you need to know before using GPT 5.6.

A website can look healthy on your dashboard and still fail when customers try to use it. So how do you catch problems before anyone notices them? In this video, you'll learn what synthetic monitoring is, how it works, and why IT teams use it to detect website and application issues before they impact real users. Discover how automated user journeys help you monitor availability, performance, and critical business transactions 24/7.

It's time to go from reactive firefighting to predictive prevention. Learn how the Time Series Foundation Models can forecast system failures before they cascade.

An agent harness for AIOps is the runtime layer that coding agents like Claude Code were never built to provide: context isolation, decision traceability, and gated execution for tools that touch production. Aura is Mezmo's open-source (Apache 2.0) agent harness, purpose-built for operations work rather than software development.

A self-service portal is designed to reduce IT support tickets by enabling employees to solve common issues on their own. But if self-service is supposed to improve efficiency, why do so many portals remain unused while help desk queues continue to grow? In this video, you'll learn what a self-service portal is, why many organizations struggle with low adoption, and the three key factors that determine whether your portal actually reduces ticket volume.

Small language models are cheaper, run privately on your own hardware, and often beat the big models on focused tasks like sorting emails or summarizing transcripts — and they're perfect for checking a large model's work. The key is knowing when to use which.

In this video, learn what packet loss is, why it happens, and how it silently impacts your network performance even when monitoring dashboards appear healthy. Discover the most common causes of packet loss, how it affects applications like video calls and web services, and why identifying the root cause quickly is critical for maintaining a reliable network.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we revisit the predictions Adam White, Zoe Hawkins, and David Girvin made at the end of last year, checking our own scorecard halfway through 2026. The hits: agents running amok and deleting databases, MCP becoming the backbone for tracking what agents actually do, growing security gaps around personal data, and a collective rejection of low-quality AI content. The misses: we underestimated how fast companies would cut staff for AI, then quietly start rehiring once the agents couldn't cover the work, and we're still arguing about whether token burn is a cost problem or a coming attack vector.

Discover how NetFlow goes beyond basic bandwidth monitoring by showing who is using your network, what applications are consuming bandwidth, and how traffic patterns change over time. Whether you're a network administrator, IT operations engineer, or infrastructure manager, this video explains NetFlow in simple terms and shows how it helps identify bandwidth hogs, troubleshoot slow networks, and make smarter capacity planning decisions.

Incident investigations take so long not because the fix is hard, but because finding the right fix is. Most engineers spend 20 to 60 minutes just understanding what’s wrong before they can act, not fixing anything, just trying to see the full picture. The framework that changes this has four steps: Orient, Isolate, Hypothesize, and Verify, and the order matters more than the tools.
