Why Modern Incident Response Strategies Need Network and Service Intelligence: Part 2

In Part 1, we explored how aligning network visibility with IT service context empowers faster, smarter incident response. But what does this actually look like? Here in Part 2, we’ll go deeper into the challenges of traditional monitoring approaches, and how teams should look to move from fragmented alerts to unified insights – because when ITOps and NetOps can both see the “what” & “why” of the problem, actions become instinct.

ilert introduces Agentic Incident Response: Entering the AI-first era

Imagine incidents resolved through insights, not manual investigations. ‍ Picture an incident management future where you're never alone during critical alerts. Imagine your best engineer always available, tirelessly investigating issues, analyzing logs, correlating metrics, checking recent code changes, and delivering actionable insights, instantly. Today, ilert is stepping boldly into this future with our first intelligent agent: ilert Responder.

How Continuous Threat Simulation is Reshaping IT Incident Response Playbooks

Imagine this: It's 2 a.m. and your phone buzzes with an urgent alert-your company's systems are under attack. The team scrambles to follow the incident response playbook, but something's off. The scenario unfolding doesn't quite match the plan. Key people aren't sure of their roles. Hours go by. The damage grows. This kind of chaos is all too common, and it highlights a major problem: traditional incident response playbooks just aren't built for today's fast-changing threat landscape.

How to send alerts from Grafana OSS to Grafana Cloud IRM

In March, we announced that Grafana OnCall (OSS) had entered maintenance mode. However, OnCall’s development continues in Grafana Cloud as Grafana Cloud IRM, combining on-call management and incident response into one integrated solution. Many users told us they still want to self-host Grafana and rely on Grafana Alerting to detect potential issues early—but they also need to escalate and manage incidents using an incident response management (IRM) solution.

Rollbar and ilert: Real-time error monitoring meets smart incident response

We’re excited to share that Rollbar is now part of the ilert integration catalog! This new technical partnership allows software teams to detect application errors in real time with Rollbar and instantly respond using ilert’s powerful alerting and incident management features.

Customize your incident response with new features in Grafana Cloud IRM

No matter where or how you work, we all have the same goal when an incident occurs: to get it resolved effectively and efficiently—and as quickly as possible. However, the way we achieve that goal isn’t always the same. We understand that different organizations operate differently, so you need flexibility from your IRM tooling.

Your Observability Platform Has a Blind Spot: Don't Risk Your Operations on Bolt-on Incident Response Modules

Observability platforms want to do it all—from data collection to incident response. Their pitch is appealing: one platform to eliminate context switching and reduce overhead. But when critical systems fail—and they will fail—, add-on incident management modules won’t save you. You need an end-to-end system built specifically for high-stakes incident management.

Your incident response plan is obsolete-unless it includes agentic AIOps

Why are we still handling IT incident response like it’s 2014? Every day, ITOps teams are flooded with alerts, spread thin across hybrid systems, and stuck trying to stitch together visibility from solutions that don’t talk to each other. The incidents keep coming, but the tools aren’t getting smarter—and the humans are burned out. Even with best practices in place, response is often slow, inconsistent, and reactive. You chase symptoms instead of solving problems.

Incident Response Software: Master Operational Resilience

In the event that your business or work is highly dependent on technologies where reliability is a concern, you already know how critical a quick recovery from a technical crisis is for you. A robust incident response software and strategy is what really separates companies that swiftly recover from technical crises in today's fast-paced, ever-evolving digital environment from those that suffer prolonged outages.

Gett replaces paging tool with Exigence to achieve IR excellence

“By the time a pager alerts you to a problem, it’s too late to think about how to manage the incident.”(Google SRE Workbook) Gett, a global leader in urban mobility and corporate travel tech, knew that relying on its incumbent paging system and siloed manual processes for incident management was no longer sustainable. Any delay in response and service restoration could jeopardize customer satisfaction and business continuity.
