We gave five metrics backends the same budget, the same week of data and the same ten queries, then ran those queries at rising concurrency. At one query at a time, the open source engines looked strong. Under concurrency, two of them stopped answering, and the rest slowed down by an order of magnitude.

Of the 12 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, Requirement 10 is one your platform team can engineer directly. Under the PCI DSS v4.0.1 standard, automated log review has been a tested requirement since March 31, 2025. Your assessor will test the mechanism that performs the review. This PCI compliance logging guide covers each 10.x sub-requirement, maps the seven event classes to log sources, and lays out a nine-step program you can hand to your assessor.

A tampered build of the Claude Code editor extension (anthropic.claude-code 2.1.313) was published on the Open VSX store used by Vs code,Cursor and similar editors, quietly gives attackers persistent remote access to any computer that runs it, while the extension keeps working normally. Researchers don’t yet know how it was published (the listing belongs to an Anthropic employee) or who is behind it. They found no evidence that Anthropic’s official Marketplace release was affected.

We set out to understand how customers were using Coralogix from outside the web app. Olly answers questions about a system in plain language. Coding agents query logs, examine traces, read metrics and configure the platform through the Coralogix CLI and MCP server. We wanted to see how much of this was becoming part of everyday work. In the week of 20–26 October, 39% of Coralogix sessions included Olly, the CLI or MCP.

From the first alert to the root cause, without leaving the page. TL;DR: Investigating an incident is a series of quick questions, each one leading to the next. Until now, Explore made you stop between questions to translate them into syntax, switch modes or rebuild a chart. The new Explore lets you go straight from one question to the next: one workspace, any dataset, any team, any way you like to ask. Here’s what that looks like on a real night on call.

We put the same OpenTelemetry data into four backends, Coralogix, ClickHouse, OpenSearch and a Loki, Tempo and Prometheus stack, then set an agent twelve questions against each one, from counting spans to working out what is wrong in a system it has never seen. Then we forced the agents to continue investigating until they got to the right answer. In this experiment, what separated them was the time, tokens, tool calls and turns it took to get there.
