Google Cloud Security Operations is deprecating the legacy SecOps Forwarder, and OpenTelemetry with Bindplane is the official telemetry ingestion method. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to migrate from the SecOps Forwarder to Bindplane and OpenTelemetry Collectors, the officially supported ingestion model for Google SecOps going forward. We walk through the why, the what, and the how — with practical guidance you can apply immediately.

In the December edition of the Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart office hours, we discuss the version 3.6 release, the upcoming releases and features, and we include special guest, Matt Nolf, to tell us about Database Observability.

Clint Sharp explains why a common model like OCSF is critical for the future of AI. Agents need standardized data to analyze information effectively on your behalf. He contrasts the traditional manual workflow of checking Slack, tickets, and wikis while asking colleagues with a future where AI fuses this human context with machine data. Instead of just search results, AI agents will hand you examined hypotheses so you know exactly where to take your investigation.

Clint Sharp demonstrates how Cribl Search leverages AI to streamline incident investigation. Starting from a Slack channel, the AI builds an interactive notebook, analyzes order processing logs, and identifies suspicious traffic spikes. It connects high CPU usage to a recent Jenkins deployment, hypothesizing a supply chain attack, and ultimately recommends a rollback. This isn't a far off concept. It is the future of operations arriving right now.
