New Cloud-Enabled Features for Splunk Enterprise Customers via Cloud Connect

Splunk Enterprise customers want access to the latest Splunk capabilities as quickly as possible. Occasionally, new experiences arrive first for Splunk Cloud, leaving self-managed customers without a clear timeline. Cloud Connect is a creative way Splunk is solving that problem. Cloud Connect gives Splunk Enterprise customers a standard admin path to access curated Splunk-managed services.

Deterministic vs Probabilistic AI Engineering Explained

Deterministic processes carry one guarantee: the same input will produce the same output. That guarantee built the entire observability stack. AI broke that contract by reasoning in terms of probability. The same input can now produce different outputs, whether from AI-generated code that carries assumptions invisible in staging, or from distributed systems where timing creates failures that no pre-captured telemetry can anticipate.

Called it (mostly): Checking in on 2026 predictions so far

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.

Sentry 201: Build agentic workflows with the Sentry MCP, CLI and Seer

Agents are pretty good at fixing your apps. We can make them even better. ​In this workshop we’re going to show you how to give your agents superpowers using Seer, the Sentry MCP server, and CLI tool. Join to learn how to: ​- Teach agents how to best implement and work with Sentry through agent skills and the CLI tool. ​- Set up Seer’s agent handoff feature for Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot and have agents start automatically generating pull requests for fixes.

Amit explains AO

Most enterprises have observability tools. What they often lack is a shared view between application and infrastructure teams. When application performance degrades, finding the root cause can be slow because the data lives in separate silos. Virtana brings application observability and infrastructure intelligence together in a single platform, helping teams identify issues faster, collaborate more effectively, and shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive operations.

How to scale access control in Grafana Cloud

One of the primary reasons organizations adopt Grafana Cloud is to create a single pane of glass across the data they collect from self-hosted systems, cloud providers, and third-party platforms. Bringing those signals together enables richer correlations, reduces tool sprawl, and makes it easier for teams to understand what's happening across their environment. But as observability grows and becomes more centralized, access management becomes more important.

Runtime Aware PR Verifier | Lightrun

Lightrun's Or Golan demos the Runtime Aware PR Verifier, a new Lightrun product that simulates pull requests against live runtime behavior before you merge. Watch use Lightrun to simulate an AI-generated PR, identify the affected production flows, and uncover a hidden risk that static review would miss. Instead of only asking whether the code looks correct, Runtime Aware PR Verifier checks whether the change matches how your system actually behaves in production.

The SolarWinds Customer Zero Story

In this SolarWinds Customer Zero story, team members share how they use SolarWinds products every day across observability, incident response, enterprise service management, log analytics, Kubernetes monitoring, and self-hosted infrastructure monitoring. Hear how internal teams serve as the first customer by testing real-world workflows, sending direct product feedback, and helping shape the platform through hands-on use.
