Pushing metric concurrency, cardinality, compute and retention limits with $1000 of infrastructure

We gave five metrics backends the same budget, the same week of data and the same ten queries, then ran those queries at rising concurrency. At one query at a time, the open source engines looked strong. Under concurrency, two of them stopped answering, and the rest slowed down by an order of magnitude.

PCI Compliance Logging: Complete Guide to Requirement 10

Of the 12 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, Requirement 10 is one your platform team can engineer directly. Under the PCI DSS v4.0.1 standard, automated log review has been a tested requirement since March 31, 2025. Your assessor will test the mechanism that performs the review. This PCI compliance logging guide covers each 10.x sub-requirement, maps the seven event classes to log sources, and lays out a nine-step program you can hand to your assessor.

Threat Advisory - Trojanized Claude Code Extension: SSH Backdoor

A tampered build of the Claude Code editor extension (anthropic.claude-code 2.1.313) was published on the Open VSX store used by Vs code,Cursor and similar editors, quietly gives attackers persistent remote access to any computer that runs it, while the extension keeps working normally. Researchers don’t yet know how it was published (the listing belongs to an Anthropic employee) or who is behind it. They found no evidence that Anthropic’s official Marketplace release was affected.

39% of Coralogix sessions are now headless

We set out to understand how customers were using Coralogix from outside the web app. Olly answers questions about a system in plain language. Coding agents query logs, examine traces, read metrics and configure the platform through the Coralogix CLI and MCP server. We wanted to see how much of this was becoming part of everyday work. In the week of 20–26 October, 39% of Coralogix sessions included Olly, the CLI or MCP.

Meet the new Explore: every question, one place

From the first alert to the root cause, without leaving the page. TL;DR: Investigating an incident is a series of quick questions, each one leading to the next. Until now, Explore made you stop between questions to translate them into syntax, switch modes or rebuild a chart. The new Explore lets you go straight from one question to the next: one workspace, any dataset, any team, any way you like to ask. Here’s what that looks like on a real night on call.

Comparing Coralogix with open source observability backends

We put the same OpenTelemetry data into four backends, Coralogix, ClickHouse, OpenSearch and a Loki, Tempo and Prometheus stack, then set an agent twelve questions against each one, from counting spans to working out what is wrong in a system it has never seen. Then we forced the agents to continue investigating until they got to the right answer. In this experiment, what separated them was the time, tokens, tool calls and turns it took to get there.

Introducing Migration Benchmarks: every source we timed now converts in under an hour

The Coralogix migrations team has published what it measured. Since 2023 the team has moved more than 75,000 assets across 300+ migrations and onboardings, including a single migration of about 41,000 alerts. The new Migration Benchmarks page holds the figures by source, a calculator for your own migration and the causes of delay that post-migration reviews name most.

Debug Production at the Speed of AI

Your coding agent can debug production issues now. Yes… Not just “help you debug.” Actually run the investigation… FOR YOU! In this new era of agentic development, speed matters. And in the old days (you know… last week or so) we used to investigate production bugs ourselves. Manually. Like humans. But for a lot of incidents, we don’t need to do all of that anymore.

What Is GitOps? Principles, Benefits, and How It Works

With GitOps, you can roll back your cluster with git revert and explain each approved change through a commit log. Routing normal changes through Git and running an in-cluster agent that detects drift from the repository gives infrastructure changes the same review and rollback discipline as application code, and Git preserves their history. This guide covers the four GitOps principles, the pull-based reconciliation workflow, and the tools and practices you need to get started.

The new APM experience: every service monitored from day one, and ready for your AI agent

Coralogix APM has told you which service is behind the latency. From today, the new APM experience tells you what is behind the service: the release, the environment, or the query one layer down. It watches every service you run from the moment it appears, without anyone writing an alert. And everything you see on the screen, your AI agent can use too: in Olly, from the Coralogix CLI, or through MCP in your IDE. A latency chart shows that something got slow.
