Your NOC's Most Important New Skill? Ignoring Things

I want to challenge a deeply held belief in our industry, one that I once championed myself: the idea that more data is the answer. We've spent a fortune building vast data lakes of network telemetry, believing that if we could just collect everything, we would achieve a state of operational nirvana.

The Seven Wastes of Network Operations

Does it ever feel like your network operations team is constantly running, yet always struggling to keep up? The ticket queues are long, troubleshooting is a complex detective story, and every new application deployment adds another layer of anxiety. This constant state of reactive firefighting isn't a sign of a bad team; it's the symptom of a broken process. This operational friction, the invisible tax on every action your team takes, has a name: waste.

How to Measure Digital Employee Experience (DEX)

Digital Employee Experience is quickly moving from an IT concern to a boardroom priority. According to Gartner, “By 2026, 50% of digital workplace leaders will have established a DEX strategy and tool, up from 30% in 2024.” However, enterprises can still lose up to 470,000 hours per year due to poor DEX highlighting the need for organizations to pay close attention to the experience of their employees. However, implementing a DEX tool alone isn’t enough.

Graylog MCP Integration: Real-Time LLM Access to Your Data

Graylog V7.0 supports integration with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows large language models (LLMs) to access and interact with Graylog data and workflows in real time. Graylog exposes an MCP-compatible endpoint for LLM clients, such as Claude and LM Studio. MCP integration allows Graylog users to interact with their data through LLMs. With MCP, an LLM can connect directly to Graylog as a remote tool interface, performing queries, retrieving system information, and assisting with common administrative or investigative tasks. This capability may make it possible to.

The High Stakes of Aerospace Reliability

Aerospace systems operate in one of the most unforgiving environments imaginable. Each flight test, orbital maneuver, or satellite transmission subjects avionics, propulsion systems, sensors, and telemetry hardware to extreme conditions. Even a minor failure can cascade into grounded aircraft, interrupted communications, or compromised missions.

APM vs Observability: What comes next?

Remember how I said that blog was going to be my last entry on the topic of "APM vs Observability?" Well, it turns out I had a little more to say. I'd like to spend a few moments talking about the future of APM and Observability. I think it comes down to two major initiatives: AI and Open Telemetry. (NOTE: in this section, I'm using the word "observability" to refer to the discipline of monitoring and observability as a whole, rather than any specific tool, technique, or vendor-based solution.)
