AI coding agents are getting good at calling tools. Claude Code, Codex, and others can run shell commands, parse JSON, and reason about the results. But they need to know what tools are available and how to use them. That's what skills are for. A skill is a small package of documentation that teaches an AI agent how to use a specific tool. We've built one for Oh Dear.

From point-of-sale (POS) terminals to cloud-based applications and mobile devices, reliable connectivity is critical to business operations. Even brief disruptions can negatively impact user experiences, resulting in failed transactions, delayed application responses, or repeated attempts to reconnect. Juniper Mist is an AI-powered networking platform that provides insight into wireless environments, including access point performance and radio frequency health.

A host map is a visual representation of your infrastructure that displays hosts and related resources such as clusters, pods, and containers in a single, interactive view. We introduced the Datadog Host Map more than a decade ago to help you “know thy infrastructure” and answer critical questions: Does everything look healthy? Has anything changed? Does the shape of my environment match what I expect?

Production is a rowdy place of chaos, especially at scale. When you have millions of requests per second flowing through your system, weird things are always happening. Outliers, unusual request patterns, spikes and pulses of traffic from unknown sources, port scanning…it’s all there. To the naked eye, it looks like noise. If you know what you are looking for…patterns emerge. The night sky: every dot is a request. Without intent, it's an undifferentiated field of light.

Every device that connects to a network needs a unique IP address to communicate. Manually assigning addresses to hundreds or thousands of endpoints is impractical and error-prone. This is where the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) comes in, automating IP address management.

Upgrading a large DX NetOps environment with multiple components across distributed infrastructure can be a challenging endeavor. Network interruptions, time-consuming validations, and the need for detailed diagnostics have been persistent pain points for administrators. With the release of version 25.4.6 of the DX NetOps Upgrade Automation Tool, we've addressed these challenges head-on. This release introduces powerful new capabilities that fundamentally change how you approach upgrade operations.

The cloud is often spoken of as a separate realm where data exists safely away from the messy realities of the physical world. But as the events of March 2026 have reminded us, the cloud has a physical home, and that home is susceptible to the same disruptions as any other infrastructure. Here’s how diversified monitoring across independent data centers can keep visibility intact when cloud services go down.

Enterprises rarely notice the moment complexity begins to reshape their environment. Growth initiatives move forward. New cloud services are adopted. Modernization programs introduce new architectures. Business units implement tools that solve immediate problems. Acquisitions add their own ecosystems. Each change is logical in isolation. The cumulative effect becomes something else entirely.
