Teams are wiring AI coding agents straight to their warehouse over MCP and asking things like “What was our revenue by channel in Q2?” The agent finds a revenue table, runs a query, and returns a number in seconds, with no waiting on the data team. While the answer initially looks right, the problem is that the number is often wrong.

DNS TTL is one of those settings nobody thinks about until it bites them. Then they think about it a lot. This guide explains what DNS TTL is, how it works in plain language, and how to pick the right value for your records. By the end you will know what to set, when to change it, and why it matters when you migrate to a new server.

Enterprise AI struggles not from inadequate models, but from fragmented data architecture. Critical business data remains trapped in legacy systems or lost in streaming complexity. Success requires bridging the gap between modern intelligence layers and underlying systems of record.

We have been getting the same request from teams for a while now: “We use Scout for our Rails app. Can we get the same thing for our Node services?” Today the answer is yes. Scout Monitoring now supports Node.js. If your team runs Express or NestJS in production, you get the same errors-and-traces experience that Ruby, Python, PHP, and Elixir teams have had. Let’s walk through what that means in practice.

You can use Grafana Assistant Investigations to automatically discover incidents and help find root causes—and this AI-powered Grafana Cloud feature recently got a major upgrade to give you even more confidence in its findings. You can read more about the behind-the-scenes effort in our new engineering blog Unprompted, where we get into harness engineering, context compaction, benchmarking, and keeping agents alive and working well in long-running sessions.

MSPs already have plenty of tools. The harder problem is getting a clear read on what’s happening across each customer environment, which alerts point to the same issue, and where engineers should start. Choosing the right MSP software is really about choosing the right operating layer for service delivery. MSPs are supporting more customers, more environments, and more alerts, but adding another tool doesn’t always make the work easier.

If you're sending security data to Microsoft Sentinel, you now have a faster path. A new ASIM mode lands your logs directly in Sentinel's native ASIM tables: no custom tables to predefine, no schema to design before data flows. We added ASIM mode to the Microsoft Sentinel destination, backed by a new ASIM standardization processor that converts raw logs to ASIM in the pipeline and routes each record to the table it belongs in. Here's how it works, and why we built it this way.

Organizations invest heavily in cybersecurity tools, yet many still struggle to confidently understand what is actually protected across their environment. This blog explores how disconnected systems, unknown assets, and inconsistent data create blind spots, and how Teneo’s Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), powered by ThreatAware, helps organizations gain a trusted view of security coverage.
