How SD-WAN Works and What to Monitor at Every Branch

Jul 31, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
Why does one branch report unusable voice and video every afternoon while the WAN dashboard at head office shows every site green? Most network teams have fielded that escalation. The device responds, the tunnel status reads up, and application performance is still unacceptable. SD-WAN was built for the distance between a connection that responds and an application that performs.

Unified Endpoint Management: Capabilities, Rollout, and Metrics

Jul 31, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
How much of your device inventory could you verify today without opening more than one console? Most IT teams can report what they purchased. Far fewer can say which of those machines are patched, encrypted, running approved software, and still checking in, because that answer spans several systems. Unified endpoint management consolidates those systems into one. Most IT teams inherit that split one platform at a time.

Selector named in the 2026 Gartner Reference Architecture Brief: Next-Generation Enterprise Networks

Jul 31, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector
A reference architecture is a set of design decisions made explicit, and the interesting parts are usually the consequences the authors chose to name. Data center, campus, WAN, cloud, and edge each run on their own platforms, often from different vendors, and the architecture takes that fragmentation as its starting point rather than a problem to wish away.

Prioritize security findings with the Datadog Runtime Prioritization Engine

Jul 31, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
If you run a cloud security program, two questions follow almost every security finding: Who owns this? And how important is it? Many security tools answer those questions with static metadata such as owner tags, business criticality labels, and manually maintained inventories of critical assets, known as crown jewels. But cloud environments aren’t static. Teams reorganize, services change hands, and dependencies evolve.

Comprehensive Postgres observability: is your database healthy, and will it stay that way?

Jul 31, 2026 By Nikolay Sivko In Coroot
A Postgres database is one of the most complex pieces of software you run. It stores your data durably so a power loss doesn't lose a committed transaction. It hands out real transactions while thousands of queries fight over the same rows. It stays available when a node dies, lets you rewind to a point in time after someone drops the wrong table, and constantly tunes itself with background jobs. Two questions matter about all of that machinery: is it healthy right now, and will it stay healthy?

SaaS vs Self-Hosted Observability (Including BYOC): Cost, Latency, Control and Governance

Jul 31, 2026 By Mohana Ayeswariya J In Atatus
Most teams don't choose an observability deployment model, they inherit one. Someone signed up for a SaaS trial three years ago, telemetry volume grew 40x, and now Finance is asking why the observability line item is the fourth-largest infrastructure cost on the P&L. Or the opposite: a self-hosted Prometheus and Elasticsearch stack was stood up when the company had twelve services, and now it needs a team of two just to keep it upright while everyone else waits on slow dashboards during incidents.

8 VoIP Quality Metrics: What They Are and How to Measure Them

Jul 31, 2026 By Alyssa Lamberti In Obkio
A dropped call costs more than the interruption itself. It means a missed deal, a frustrated customer, or a support ticket that shouldn't exist. When VoIP quality slips, the usual first sign is vague: calls "sound bad" or "keep cutting out," with no clear starting point for troubleshooting. That vagueness is avoidable. VoIP call quality isn't subjective at the network level.

Grafana AI Observability is our new database and platform for observing AI Agents.
