CLIs are more token-efficient than MCP. Or are they?

Jul 30, 2026 By Stefan Judis In Checkly
MCP servers have a reputation: they eat your context window. CLIs paired with skills, on the other hand, are more token efficient. But is this still true?

Jul 30, 2026 By Falit Jain In Pagerly
On July 28, 2026, roughly 30,000 people flooded Downdetector with reports that Reddit was broken. Feeds would not load, logins failed, and the mobile app hung. Reddit's own status page, meanwhile, showed a calm wall of green: all systems operational. That contradiction is the whole story, and it is not unique to Reddit. It is one of the most common and most damaging failure modes in modern on-call, and it has a name: the incident detection gap.

GPU monitoring in OpManager: Full visibility for every AI workload

Jul 29, 2026 By Visakh P S In ManageEngine
AI has moved to be a core part of enterprise infrastructure. GPUs are the engines behind that shift. Every training run, every inference request, and every fine-tuning job depends on GPU chipsets that are expensive and delicate. A GPU that overheats, runs out of memory, or sits idle for hours doesn't just slow a project down, it quietly drains the IT budget. Most monitoring tools weren't built with this hardware in mind. This leaves AI and DevOps teams blindsided when a job fails or a chipset degrades.

We’re making it easier to organize your monitors from the moment you add them. Previously, clicking Add would immediately add a monitor to your board. If your board already contained one or more groups, new monitors were automatically placed in the Ungrouped section, requiring an extra step to move them into the correct group. Now, clicking Add opens a list of your monitor groups, allowing you to choose exactly where the monitor should be added.
