Micro Lesson: Why you should move to OTel
The video discusses the advantages of using OpenTelemetry Collector over Sumo Logic's installed collectors for data collection and observability. It highlights key features and serves as a guide for organizations considering the transition to OpenTelemetry.
How should Prometheus handle OpenTelemetry resource attributes?
Note: A version of this post originally appeared on the OpenTelemetry blog. Victoria Nduka is user experience designer and open source contributor making her way into the cloud native space. She writes about design, accessibility, and open source with the same curiosity she brings to her work. On May 29, I wrapped up my mentorship with Prometheus through the Linux Foundation mentorship program.
The core KPIs of LLM performance (and how to track them)
A few months ago, I built an MCP server for Toronto’s Open Data portal so an agent could fetch datasets relevant to a user’s question. I threw the first version together, skimmed the code, and everything looked fine. Then I asked Claude: “What are all the traffic-related data sources for the city of Toronto?” The tool call fired. I got relevant results. And then I hit an error: “Conversation is too long, please start a new conversation.” I had only asked one question.
Understanding Incident Response vs Incident Remediation
At a high level, incident remediation is a part of the incident response process. An Incident response plan manages the incident lifecycle across planning, detection, investigation, and recovery. Meanwhile, incident remediation focuses on identifying root causes and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences.
Real-time Alerting for Data Center Networks
Kentik’s Phil Gervasi shows how modern data centers—especially those powering AI workloads—can spot and fix problems before they impact performance or budgets. See how Kentik’s Data Explorer helps you identify disruptive flows, reclaim wasted network capacity, and turn insights into real-time alerts. With monitor-only mode and integrations with systems like PagerDuty and ServiceNow, your network becomes its own early warning system—driving uptime, cost savings, and better AI performance.
Flow Like a Pro - Episode 1: Master Flowmon Profiles and Slash Your Query Time!
Network analysis doesn’t have to be slow or complicated. In this episode, we’ll show you how to master Flowmon Profiles so you can dramatically cut down your query time and focus on solving problems faster.
Data Sovereignty vs Data Residency vs Data Localization
Awareness of data sovereignty is increasing within organizations. Geo-political situations and recent news stories are causing many to formally evaluate their data management strategies and policies. This means that organizations are also looking at the tools and platforms they use to run and maintain key IT infrastructure and undertake tasks such as monitoring and management. SaaS and cloud first/only tooling can often present data sovereignty challenges and complications.
Built for Scale: Why Enterprises, GSIs, and MSPs Choose ScienceLogic for Intelligent Operations
As companies shift towards a digital first strategy and enterprise architectures become more complex to support it, the demands on IT operations platforms have evolved significantly. Today’s global enterprises, system integrators (GSIs), and managed service providers (MSPs) require more than traditional observability tools. They need scalable, intelligent platforms that can manage sprawling environments with consistency, speed, and precision.
What is Database Monitoring
Database monitoring transforms from a reactive troubleshooting exercise into a proactive optimization strategy when you have the right tools and approaches in place. This blog shares practical ways to choose monitoring solutions, set up observability for different database platforms, and design workflows that scale in modern distributed systems.
