2026 Resolution: Take Back Control of Your Observability Spend

As budgets reset for 2026, engineering leaders are making a resolution: no more vendor lock-in. Here’s how to keep that promise by building on the technical foundations of data reliability and simplified collection. It’s January 2026, and if you’re like most engineering leaders, you’re staring at your observability vendor contracts with a mix of frustration and resignation.

Kubernetes Logging Best Practices

You’re sitting at your desk, typing away, when all of a sudden you hear a “ping!” Unfortunately, you have a browser with fifteen tabs open, a task management application, email, messaging applications, and calendars all open, making it difficult to know exactly which technology just pinged you. To identify the source, you open your system settings and look at the notifications section to see which ones you allow to make a sound.

Introducing System Datasets: Observing the Observability Platform

Modern observability platforms are great at explaining what’s happening in your apps and your infrastructure. However, all too often the observability platform itself remains a black box. As observability data and usage grow, governance almost always lags behind, and teams struggle to answer basic operational questions like: This valuable data is typically fragmented across admin UIs, billing pages, support tickets, and tribal knowledge.

Helping Service Providers Build Future-Ready Autonomous Networks

As network complexity scales, Splunk empowers service providers to transition toward autonomous networking by integrating automated monitoring with AI-driven root-cause analysis. By shifting from reactive troubleshooting to proactive, automated remediation, providers can resolve issues before they impact the user experience. This evolution ensures seamless digital connectivity while simultaneously reducing customer churn and the high costs of manual network maintenance.

Observability That Works: Understand System Failures and Drive Better Business Outcomes

Modern systems don't fail because engineers lack skills; they fail because teams can't see why systems are failing at all or can’t see why they’re failing fast enough. Often, the problem isn't a lack of tools — it's a lack of clear, connected visibility across data, teams, and systems. This is where observability transforms how organizations operate. It's no longer just about keeping systems running.

Introducing The First Graylog Helm Chart Beta V1.0.0

Running Graylog on Kubernetes has been possible for a while, but let’s be honest: it usually involved a fair amount of DIY. Custom manifests, duct-taped values files, and more than one late-night kubectl describe pod. That changes today. We’re releasing the first-ever Graylog Helm chart for Kubernetes — now available in beta.
