Let me set the record straight before anyone accuses me of bias or not being an OpenTelemetry supporter. Cribl loves OpenTelemetry! We’ve written lots of blogs about It; we have vendor-specific OpenTelemetry Destinations (with more to come!), and we support automatic batch parsing for easier data manipulation and re-batching for network transport efficiency of logs, metrics, and traces.

The advent of 5G is not just an evolution of mobile networks; it’s a revolution. Promising lightning-fast speeds, ultra-low latency, and massive device connectivity, 5G is reshaping industries and transforming how we live, work, and interact. However, this leap forward demands smarter, more agile networks. Enter network automation, the backbone of operational efficiency in the 5G era and beyond.

Event-driven automation is a powerful approach to managing enterprise IT environments, allowing systems to automatically react to enterprise events (Observability / Monitoring / Security / Social / Machine) and reducing or removing the need for manual intervention. This post discusses 11 common automation tasks that are ideal for enterprise DevOps teams looking to enhance operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and ensure business continuity. Struggling with ideas for where to start?

My new crystal ball was delivered this morning, so it’s time to make some enterprise mobility predictions for 2025. I ordered it on an early black Friday deal yesterday and got free overnight shipping. Even though my AI-driven shopping guide encouraged paying for same-day delivery, I saw no need to pay for faster amusement. But enough about my ecommerce buying habits; let’s look at what mobility and supply chains operations teams might see in 2025.

The Managed Service Provider (MSP) industry is highly competitive. The growing demand for IT management and support has led to a proliferation of MSPs, ranging from small to established providers. This saturation intensifies pressure on profit margins and heightens expectations for delivering faster, more efficient services. With many MSPs competing for business, companies must find ways to differentiate themselves to attract and retain clients. At ScienceLogic, we know that AI holds the key to success.

Learn how to get started with OpenTelemetry Logging, streamline your observability, and enhance debugging with structured, context-rich logs.

DNS monitoring ensures your domain records are accurate, secure, and performing well, helping prevent outages and attacks.

Have you ever encountered a warning that a software function or feature is "deprecated"? It’s a term many users come across but don’t always fully understand. Deprecated software can pose challenges for IT teams and organizations, as it often signals the need for change. In this article, we’ll explain what deprecated software is, how it differs from depreciated software, and why it matters.

Let’s be real—leaving software unpatched is like forgetting to lock your front door before heading out. It may seem harmless at first, but it gives cybercriminals an open invitation to waltz in and wreak havoc. The risks and mitigation of unpatched software are critical topics for organizations to understand because unpatched vulnerabilities are one of the leading entry points for ransomware attacks.

More than ever, DevOps teams are constantly tasked with improving collaboration, accelerating software development, and ensuring smooth operations. However, traditional monitoring and alerting methods, often called a “black box approach,” offer limited insight into system performance. As a result, teams rely on reactive approaches, only responding to incidents after they occur without prior planning or strategy.
