Observability trends for 2026: Maturity, cost control, and driving business value

The observability landscape has undergone a fundamental transformation over the past several years. In a recent report, The Landscape of Observability in 2026: Balancing Cost and Innovation conducted by Dimensional Research and sponsored by Elastic, over 500 IT decision-makers were surveyed. It revealed that observability has definitively transitioned from an optional capability to a mission-critical business function.

Become a 10x investigator with Cribl Notebooks

Cribl Notebooks aims to streamline the investigation process by bringing everything into a single interactive interface. It functions as a virtual war room where teams can collaborate in real time. You can view AI queries and code alongside charts without switching between scattered tabs or workstations. This persistence makes it easier to document the root cause and share the story behind the data.

Fixing Performance Issues Fast with Logs & Tracing

Learn how to quickly track down performance bottlenecks using Sentry Logs and Tracing. In this video, we walk through identifying a slow screen, jumping into the connected trace, and pinpointing slow backend steps, database calls, and AI/LLM operations. See how logs, issues, and traces work together to show the full picture of what happened in a single session.

Expose Hidden State Bugs with Sentry Logs

See how Sentry Logs can surface hidden state bugs that stack traces alone can’t explain. In this walkthrough, we debug a React Native app with an Express.js backend where a missing diet value causes a crash. We inspect the issue, pull in the connected logs, and confirm whether the problem comes from an initial render or from real backend data. By combining issues, traces, and logs from the same session, you get the full story—and a faster path to the fix.

Prioritizing Bugs with Sentry Logs

Learn how to use Sentry Logs to measure how often a bug occurs and which users it impacts. In this example, a React Native app with an Express.js backend crashes when the diet value becomes undefined. After identifying the root cause, we use Explore Logs to count how many times users switch their diet to “none,” filter the related log messages, and group results by user type to understand the impact.

Bindplane in 12 Minutes: A Complete Overview of the Telemetry Pipeline for OpenTelemetry at Scale

Bindplane is a unified telemetry pipeline that helps teams cut observability spend by 50% or more. In this overview, you will learn how to route telemetry from any source to any destination, manage large fleets of OpenTelemetry Collectors, and gain real visibility into collector health, state, throughput, and routing behavior.

Students can now learn what they need within the Elastic stack anytime. The Elastic Training team has shifted its on-demand training strategy from paid to free! Yes, you heard that right — complimentary on-demand training is now readily available to everyone. The Elastic Training team is continuously developing and releasing bite-sized training modules designed to align with Elastic solutions and highlight key features.

Ep 22: re:Invent recap

In this episode of Masters of Data, we're breaking down AWS re:Invent 2025 through David's eyes (and probably a few cups of conference coffee). We dive into the massive crowds, killer customer conversations, and product demos that actually worked—because we're all about building real tech, not smoke-and-mirrors clickbait. David geeks out over Mobot, our AI tool that's making workflows smoother (not just another chatbot in disguise), and how attendees couldn't get enough of the live demos. We also throw some shade at the AI-washing epidemic and dig into why practical AI applications in security and observability actually matter.

Bindplane | Notifications

Real-time alerts for your telemetry pipelines are here. In this quick overview, you’ll learn about the new Notifications panel in Bindplane. This update gives you real-time visibility into key changes across your configurations, fleets, and agents so nothing slips through the cracks. You’ll see how Notifications helps you stay ahead of: This new feature centralizes alerts you’d otherwise miss — making Bindplane easier to operate at scale. Email, Slack, and webhook notifications are also on the way.
