Not everything that breaks is an error: a Logs and Next.js story

Stack traces are great, but they only tell you what broke. They rarely tell you why. When an exception fires, you get a snapshot of the moment things went sideways, but the context leading up to that moment? Gone. That's where logs come in. A well-placed log can be the difference between hours of head-scratching and a five-minute fix. Let me show you what I mean with a real bug I encountered recently.

Bindplane + Oodle.ai: AI-Native Observability Meets AI-Driven Telemetry Pipelines

Today, we’re excited to announce a new integration between Bindplane and Oodle.ai — combining an AI-driven, OpenTelemetry-native telemetry pipeline with an AI-native observability platform built for extreme scale. With Bindplane acting as the control plane for telemetry and Oodle.ai providing AI-powered analysis across logs, metrics, and traces, you get a single, intelligent, vendor-neutral pipeline from raw telemetry to actionable insight.

How to debug a Next.js production bug with Logs and Sentry

Stack traces tell you what broke. They rarely tell you why. In this video, Serge walks through a real Next.js production bug that only affected Firefox and Safari. The error showed up clearly in Sentry, but the stack trace alone wasn’t enough to explain what was going wrong. The missing piece turned out to be logs. You’ll see how adding logs to a Next.js API route exposed unexpected request data, how those logs connected back to traces, and how that context made the root cause obvious and easy to fix.

Cribl Search Pack for Missing Logs

Ever run a SIEM search only to see nothing for your firewall logs? In this video, we show a smarter way to detect when log sources stop sending data using Cribl Lake, Cribl Search, and Cribl Stream. Learn how to track “last seen” times, build efficient aggregations, and get real-time alerts—without burning SIEM resources or storage.

New in Bindplane: Permalinks

I’m excited to announce a new feature in Bindplane: Permalinks. Available in Bindplane Cloud right now! Permalinks will be shipped in version v1.97.0 and above in Self-hosted Bindplane. Permalinks make it easy to share a single URL that takes teammates, support engineers, or other stakeholders directly to the exact view you’re looking at. No extra navigation, no guessing, and no “can you click over here?” moments.

New Year, New Telemetry: Resolve to Stop Breaking Dashboards

It's 2026. Your New Year's resolution was to finally migrate to OpenTelemetry. But you're staring at dozens of dashboards that depend on your current data format, and that migration deadline is looming... Sound familiar? If you're an SRE or Platform Engineer facing a top-down OTel mandate, you're not alone. The challenge isn't just about adopting a new standard—it's about doing so without disrupting the observability systems your team depends on every day.

Fleet Management: Manage your telemetry collectors at scale

In this video, we introduce Fleet Management and how it helps teams control their telemetry estate as it scales. See how you can centrally manage collectors and agents, standardize configurations across environments, and roll out updates confidently, reducing operational effort and risk.
