Automating BGP Troubleshooting with Kentik AI Advisor

Jan 6, 2026 By Kentik In Kentik
In this demo, we use Kentik AI Advisor to troubleshoot a real-world BGP misconfiguration that brings down a peering session with a transit provider. You’ll see how AI Advisor works both as a dedicated page and as an in-portal overlay, using natural language to identify the affected interface, correlate SNMP and syslog data, and pinpoint a maximum-prefix issue as the root cause. Then we accelerate and standardize the workflow with custom network context and AI-powered runbooks, so every engineer can troubleshoot BGP alerts like an expert.

Ep 24: Governing AI in the age of agentic systems and Model Context Protocol

Jan 6, 2026 By Sumo Logic, Inc. In Sumo Logic
On this episode of Masters of Data, we unpack David's new white paper on AI governance for agentic systems. He explains model context protocol (MCP) as "APIs for agents", how AI systems talk and execute tasks. The catch? Autonomous agents are insider threats that move fast and cause serious damage. David introduces the Model Control Plane (MoCop), a twelve-pillar framework designed to prevent your AI from going rogue. We cover his roadmap for security leaders to build real controls and telemetry. His advice: treat agents like interns with root access. Get ahead of this before your agents do.

This is our first report since we launched the Open Source Pledge, which brings together companies that share our respect for the independent maintainers in the community. Pledge members have collectively paid $4.5M to Open Source maintainers and foundations since launch. No more excuses!

From Compliance to Confidence: Earning Trust in a World That Never Stops Changing

Jan 6, 2026 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic
Compliance has always been a necessity, but for many organizations, it has also been a burden. Reports, audits, manual reviews, and spreadsheets create a cycle of looking backward rather than moving forward. As systems become more dynamic, that lag between compliance checks and real-world change grows wider, creating risk that traditional methods can’t close. The goal now isn’t to check the box.

5 Observability & AI Trends Making Way for an Autonomous IT Reality in 2026

Jan 6, 2026 By LogicMonitor In LogicMonitor
IT operations are changing faster than most people realize, making autonomous IT a 2026 reality, not a distant vision. Your team monitors tens of thousands of metrics, ingests terabytes of logs, and generates thousands of alerts daily. And somehow, you still find out about outages from customers before you see them in your tools. That gap between having visibility and actually understanding what’s happening has become the central problem.
