Tech Talk #14 - Skill issue: A guide to Using AI skills with VictoriaMetrics

An engineer in an incident does not have a metrics problem, a logs problem and a traces problem. They have one question, and answering it today means opening three interfaces and retyping the same timestamp, service name and tenant into each one.

Introducing APEX: Adversarial Pattern Extraction and Correlation

In this Black Hat talk, Nicole Beckwith introduces APEX (Adversarial Pattern Extraction and Correlation), a detection framework—not a Cribl product—that clusters TTP-based signals around entities to support behavioral detection. It is intended for security practitioners, SOC and detection teams, and threat hunters who want to learn how to use raw telemetry or OCSF data, TTP chaining, time windows, criticality, and cross-correlation to detect behavior beyond static indicators and rule-count coverage.

Loop Engineering Guardrails for iGaming with Claude Code and CX CLI

Tuning guardrails can take time. To accelerate this, we combined the power of Claude Code, Coralogix Telemetry and the CX CLI, to build a loop that iterates on guardrails. To test our loop, we built a fictional chat interface for an iGaming operator, that took bets, gave odds on markets and more, but with a catch: this agent was not permitted to make predictions about where the market was going. With our goal in place, we got to work designing our loop.

From Code to Runtime: Hands-On Zephyr RTOS Debugging at Microchip MASTERs 2026

Johan Kraft introduces Percepio Tracealyzer during the hands-on Zephyr RTOS debugging class at Microchip MASTERs 2026 in Phoenix. Microchip MASTERs 2026 brought embedded developers together in Phoenix for several days of technical training, hands-on learning and conversations around the challenges engineers are solving every day. Percepio was there, with Founder and CTO Johan Kraft and Product Lead Andreas Klintemyr joining the Microchip community to meet developers, customers and industry partners.

From one switch to a control panel: meet `dataCollection`

This post and its code examples focus on the JavaScript SDKs. If you’re on another platform, it’s still worth reading to understand why we made the change and what’s coming your way. We’re replacing the boolean sendDefaultPii with a new option called dataCollection. The old switch was all or nothing: turn it on and you got everything, leave it off and you got only a fraction.

ISP Local Loop Issues: What They Are, What Causes Them, and How to Diagnose Them

Latency spikes that come and go. Packet loss that shows up for a few minutes, then disappears. None of it traces back to anything on your LAN, your firewall, or your switches because it isn't happening there. It's happening on the physical link between your building and your ISP's network: the local loop. This article covers what the ISP local loop is, what typically goes wrong with it, the most common root causes, and how to diagnose a local loop issue using traceroute data and Obkio Insights.

Top tips: How to become more tech-savvy without being a tech expert

Top Tips is a weekly column where we explore practical ways to navigate the technology shaping our everyday lives. This week, we're tackling a common feeling: the fear of not being “tech-savvy” enough, and sharing simple habits to help you become more confident, curious, and comfortable with the technology you use every day. Ever felt like you’re the only person in the room who doesn’t understand what everyone is talking about? That little fear of looking clueless?

Add metadata to multiple monitors at once

We’ve made monitor metadata easier to manage at scale. You can now use Bulk Actions to add metadata to multiple monitors at once. Select the monitors you want to update, choose Metadata from the Bulk Actions menu, and add the key/value pairs you want to apply. For example, you can quickly add the same team, owner, project, environment, or other custom information across a group of monitors – without editing each one individually.

Introducing the Live Outage Map

We’ve added a new Live Outage Map to StatusGator, giving you a visual way to see where outages are happening across the services you rely on. Instead of checking services individually, you can see outage activity from the last 24 hours in one place – including both detected incidents and live outage reports from users.
