Ephemeral Leaks and Automated BGP Route Leak Detection

Apr 15, 2026 By Doug Madory In Kentik
Many BGP route leaks reported by automated detection systems are actually brief, low-impact artifacts of normal BGP convergence. Doug Madory examines examples from Cloudflare Radar, Routeviews, and Jared Mauch’s long-running leak detector to show how these “ephemeral leaks” arise, why they usually don’t disrupt traffic, and why they still matter for routing security.

N+1 Detection in AppSignal's OpenTelemetry Trace Timeline

Apr 15, 2026 By Karen Patteri de Souza In AppSignal
N+1 query problems are one of the most common, and quietly damaging, performance issues in production applications. One extra query per record feels harmless in development. At scale, it becomes the reason your response times degrade and your database buckles under load. Today, AppSignal adds N+1 detection to its OpenTelemetry support. When we identify the pattern in a trace, we collapse the repetitive spans directly in the timeline, making the problem immediately visible in the trace itself.

Grave improvements: Native crash postmortems via Android tombstones

Apr 15, 2026 By Mischan Toosarani-Hausberger In Sentry
Native crashes on Android have always been harder to debug than they should be. The platform has its own crash reporter (debuggerd) that captures the crashing thread, every other running thread, register state, and memory maps into a file called a tombstone. Tombstones have been a part of Android for a long time; in fact, they’ve been there in one form or another since Android's first commit.

What Is an AI SRE? And Why Do They Need Live Runtime Evidence?

Apr 15, 2026 By Lightrun Team In Lightrun
AI SREs are autonomous systems that handle incident triage, root cause analysis, and remediation by correlating logs, metrics, traces, and code signals. However, as they rely on pre-configured telemetry, the critical execution details of a specific failure, such as variable state and code paths, can often be missed. As a result, they either force users into manual redeploy loops or make inferences from partial data, diagnosing issues using probability rather than proof.

Top 5 Zabbix Dashboarding Tools Compared

Apr 15, 2026 By Blog In Squared Up
Zabbix collects a huge amount of operational data—metrics, alerts, host status, and performance trends. But turning that data into dashboards people actually use is a different challenge.

Icinga as Open-Source MSP Monitoring Software: Multi-Tenant Monitoring for IT Service Providers

Apr 15, 2026 By Simona Omidkar In Icinga
If you run a managed service provider, your RMM software is the backbone of daily operations. Remote management, patch cycles, ticketing workflows – it handles the essentials. But if you’re monitoring more than a few dozen client environments, you’ve likely noticed that monitoring and management are not the same thing. And that difference matters more the larger you grow. This post is not about replacing your RMM.
