Making Observability AI-Native with the Logz.io MCP Server

Now available: Secure, real-time access to your observability data via Logz.io’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. The Logz.io MCP Server brings your logs, metrics, and telemetry data into the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an emerging open standard that lets AI systems query real data securely and contextually, in real time. That means any MCP-compatible LLM, like Claude Desktop, Cursor, your own AI agent… can now connect directly to your Logz.io environment.

How to Monitor AI Agents in Commerce Systems

Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just writing text or generating images anymore. It’s starting to make real-world decisions. Now, with agentic systems, we’re entering an era where AI models don’t just respond; they act autonomously, buying, booking, and negotiating on behalf of users. That may sound promising, but those of us in the trenches of reliability know that progress always comes with trade-offs. Make no mistake, this shift fundamentally changes how observability works.

Sync your Backstage catalog with Datadog IDP

Backstage is a popular open source framework for building internal developer portals (IDPs) used by organizations to aggregate service metadata and create a single source of truth for their software developers. However, data stored in the Backstage Software Catalog can quickly become siloed and inaccessible from monitoring tools such as Datadog.

SIEM Migration in 68 Days

In this session, we will discuss how the University of Pittsburgh was able to modernize their data processing strategy, migrate to a new SIEM solution, and avoid ballooning SIEM costs all within 68 days from the first install of a Cribl product. We will showcase how we were able to use Cribl's software to easily handle the following scenarios: 100% agent replacement and consolidation using Cribl Stream Workers and Edge.

The Modern SOC: Transforming security operations with Al and automation

Security teams are dealing with massive data growth, siloed tools, and constant alert fatigue. All of this makes it harder to detect and respond to threats. AI has become a key part of the solution, but its effectiveness depends on having access to complete, high-quality data. In this session, Palo Alto Networks and Deloitte will explore how AI and automation are redefining the modern Security Operations Center (SOC). Learn how leading organizations are leveraging intelligent workflows, automated threat detection, and machine learning to accelerate response times, reduce analyst fatigue, and strengthen overall security posture.
