AI SRE Agent with Temporal, ClickHouse, and Codex: AURA in a Gated Run

Aug 25, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
1,133 requests failed on one bad commit. The patch and the regression test are already written by the time anyone is asked to read the exact diff. This demo runs AURA as one step inside a Temporal workflow, alongside Codex. A GET request against a product catalog service goes from success to HTTP 500, and ClickHouse records the version, commit, trace ID, and exact error for every request. By the time AURA investigates, all 1,133 requests on that version have failed.

A Practical ClickHouse Monitoring Guide Built Around Failure Modes

Aug 25, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
Why does a ClickHouse cluster report every node as healthy while inserts start failing and dashboards go stale? Most often the failing subsystem was never represented in the metrics anyone had on screen. A node answers its health check while its replication queue has been growing for hours. ClickHouse breaks in specific, repeatable ways. Parts accumulate faster than background merges can consolidate them. Coordination drops quorum and every replicated table quietly turns read-only.

What Backup Monitoring Software Should Track to Protect RTO and RPO

Aug 25, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
How many backup jobs completed successfully in your environment last night, and how many of those systems could you bring back inside the window the business agreed to? Most backup consoles answer the first question well. They report job status, completion time and volume written, then roll it into a reassuring compliance summary. The second question needs different evidence, usually missing from that screen. The distance between those answers shows up during the recovery attempt.

Zero-Code Instrumentation in Kubernetes Without the Instrumentation CRD

Aug 25, 2026 By Israel Blancas Alvarez, Software Engineer In Coralogix
The OpenTelemetry Operator changed how teams approach telemetry collection in Kubernetes. The core appeal of zero-code instrumentation is that you can bring up telemetry inside application containers to collect traces, metrics, and logs without touching your source code or rebuilding your container images. However, if you follow the default OpenTelemetry Operator documentation, you quickly run into a heavy operational prerequisite: the Instrumentation CRD.

Obkio's Status Overview Widget: Know What's Wrong and Where, Instantly

Aug 24, 2026 By Andrii Kernitskyi In Obkio
Obkio is making improvements to its network performance monitoring and observability solution, aimed at helping users of every expertise level interpret their data more efficiently. That work isn't just about telling users something is wrong. It's about diagnosing the issue for them. And a big part of that is telling them where the issue is happening, so they know exactly where to direct their troubleshooting effort instead of guessing. The Status Overview widget solves this.

Alert fatigue, AI triage, and incidents: Lessons from observability experts at Cyera, PlayHQ & NAB

Aug 24, 2026 By Grafana In Grafana
Observability looks perfect in a slide deck – in practice, it's messier. In this panel, engineering leaders from Cyara, PlayHQ, and National Australia Bank share what really happened when they scaled observability: unexpected cloud bills, alert fatigue, a weekend database outage caught by an AI-assisted triage agent, and a vendor dispute settled by a single chart. They also cover moving beyond legacy tooling, using AI to close the PromQL skills gap, and what's next – from agentic SDLC integration to continuous profiling. Real stories, real numbers, real lessons.

Inside the Gartner Market Guide for CSP Service and Network Assurance Solutions: Agentic AI and the Foundation It Runs On

Aug 24, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector
Most CSP assurance roadmaps now carry an AI line item. Fewer have a clear answer for what that AI actually runs on. Over the past year, the working question across operators and vendors has narrowed to something practical: how to put agents to work in assurance while keeping operators in control.

Why AI Adoption Fails Without Operational Maturity First

Aug 24, 2026 By Amanda Doucette-Lachapelle In Auvik
Most MSPs are already experimenting with AI in some form, and every vendor at every conference has an AI for MSPs pitch ready. Few have stopped to check whether their own operations are solid enough to scale. Our 2026 IT Trends Report found that three-quarters of IT leaders believe they have an AI policy, while fewer than half of help desk staff agree. That’s the real risk: AI doesn’t fix drift, unclear ownership, or gaps between what’s documented and what’s actually happening.
