HTTP Monitoring: What Is It and How to Do It

Apr 8, 2026 By Andrii Kernitskyi In Obkio
When users complain that an app or website is slow, the first question is always the same: Is it the network or the application? HTTP monitoring gives you the answer. Network metrics like latency and packet loss tell you what's happening on the wire. But they don't tell you whether users are actually feeling the impact. HTTP monitoring closes that gap.

Not All Agents Are Created Equal: Getting Agentic AI Right for IT

Apr 8, 2026 By Meeta Dash In Ivanti
Three months ago, a CIO told me her organization had “already deployed agents.” Her endpoint team assumed she meant the telemetry clients on every managed laptop. Her service desk thought she meant AI chatbots. Meanwhile, her security architect heard “autonomous decision-making.” They were all right and all talking past each other. This is the agent confusion problem.

Where Most Operational Waste Comes From-and How AI Automation Cuts It

Apr 8, 2026 By Margo Poda In LogicMonitor
Most operational waste comes from fragmented workflows rather than individual performance constraints. An incident begins long before any fix is applied. Alerts trigger, tickets open, and engineers start reconstructing context across systems that were never designed to operate as one. Logs, metrics, past incidents, and runbooks sit in separate tools, each requiring manual lookup, interpretation, and validation before any decision can be made.
