How to Monitor Database Backups and Get Alerted When One Fails

Oct 8, 2026 By Leo Baecker In Hyperping
To monitor a database backup, make the backup script check its own output (exit code, file size, a table you know must be there) and ping a heartbeat URL only when all of it passed. If that ping does not arrive on schedule, you get an alert. A backup that failed, wrote an empty file, hung, or never started all look the same from the outside: no success ping.

How to Monitor Celery Beat and Catch Missed Periodic Tasks

Oct 8, 2026 By Leo Baecker In Hyperping
To monitor Celery beat, give each periodic task its own heartbeat URL and ping it from the worker when the task succeeds, with a task_success signal handler. If beat is down, the message sits in a queue no worker reads, or the task raises, the ping does not arrive and you get an alert. The trap is that beat only publishes messages: its log prints Sending due task on schedule whether or not anything ever runs the task.

Manage your OpenTelemetry Collectors with Fleet Management in Grafana Cloud

Oct 8, 2026 By Marko Bachvarovski In Grafana
If you’ve built your telemetry pipelines around OpenTelemetry Collectors, you’ve already invested in a collector distribution, YAML configuration, and a deployment model that fits your infrastructure.

Debug Production at the Speed of AI

Oct 8, 2026 By Shai Reznik In Coralogix
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.

Oct 7, 2026 By annisa.fauziyyah In ManageEngine

According to a 2025 survey by McKinsey, 52% of financial institutions surveyed already consider GenAI a priority, while another 39% are interested but have not yet made it a top priority. As adoption grows, banks need to think carefully about what AI agents can access, which identities it uses, what actions it can take, and whether those activities can be traced when something goes wrong.

Governing AI Agents From the Inside: What We Learned Building AgentIQ

Oct 7, 2026 By Harshita Kulshrestha In meshIQ
When every employee is building AI agents, seeing what they did afterward isn't enough. AgentIQ's in-flow governance runs inside the agent's execution flow—pausing for human approval, enforcing policies by value, masking PII, and stopping runaway agents before costs spiral.
