A voice agent can return the right words and still deliver a poor experience. It might leave a caller in silence, speak over them, or stop midway through a response.

In September 2026, OpenAI reported finding self-replicating prompt injections. These attacks hide instructions in content an AI agent retrieves, directing it to take unauthorized actions and copy those instructions into emails, files, or messages. Copied instructions can then expose other agents or later sessions to the same attack, giving it the potential to spread like a computer worm.

FortiGate, PAN-OS and Zscaler now each have a six-dashboard pack in the Dashboard Library, live on every Logs stack. If your firewall logs already arrive as parsed module fields, the Library pre-selects the matching pack. If they don't, it won't, even when the firewall has been sending syslog for years. This post is about that gap: which parsed fields each pack reads, the Filebeat module settings that produce them, and the API checks that tell you whether the dashboards will fill before you install them.

You can now choose which status changes trigger alerts for Website and Ping monitors, bringing the same notification control previously available only for Service monitors. Keep recovery notifications on, focus on downtime, or include SSL warnings for your websites. Adjust each monitor to receive the alerts that matter to you.

StatusGator now monitors more than 12,000 services, bringing even more of the tools your team depends on into one place. From cloud infrastructure and AI platforms to payment providers and education software, our monitoring catalog keeps growing alongside your stack.
