The latest News and Information on Observabilty for complex systems and related technologies.

#observability needs more than tools. It needs the right data.

Good observability starts with good data. In this clip, we hear how Cribl gives teams real control over their data pipelines so they can collect, enrich, and route telemetry from any source to the right destination. It is not just about more dashboards or another platform. It is about building an observability ecosystem that connects IT, security, and the business through cleaner data and smarter AIOps. Tool rationalization and AI driven pipelines are not future goals. They are happening right now.

How to Monitor RabbitMQ

A queue quietly fills up overnight. Memory hits the configured watermark and RabbitMQ blocks all publishers. Your entire message pipeline freezes, and you discover the problem when users start complaining. This scenario repeats across thousands of production systems because teams don't monitor RabbitMQ properly. The broker exposes comprehensive metrics, but most engineers don't know which ones predict failures or how to track them.

What is Network Observability vs. Network Monitoring?

Network observability may be seen as a newer term in the world of networking, but it has become critical for managing modern distributed networks. As networks grow more complex with cloud services, remote workers, and distributed applications, traditional network monitoring approaches no longer provide sufficient visibility into network health and performance.

Bringing Observability to Data

While observability practices have evolved in recent years, they have largely focused on application services and infrastructure. Yet it is data what powers our applications, businesses, and AI models. When data issues occur, the consequences can be far reaching, from poor product experiences to billing errors to misinformed AI outcomes. In this session, Jonathan Morin, Group Product Manager at Datadog, shares real-world examples of incidents and explains how data observability can address them, helping teams detect issues earlier, reduce costly downtime, and restore trust in their data.

Expanding Access, Not Risk: Using the Read-Only Role in Honeycomb Teams

Observability works best when everyone who needs visibility can get it without the risk of unintentional changes. Honeycomb’s role-based access control system helps teams strike that balance with a selection of Owner, Member, and Read-Only member roles. This control gives teams more flexibility in how they share access across their organization, helping you scale visibility safely without sacrificing control.
