Heartbeat behind the metrics | Raghavan on building Site24x7

Feb 5, 2026 By ManageEngine Site24x7 In Site24x7
How do you build an observability platform that keeps up with constant change? In this episode of Heartbeat Behind the Metrics, Srinivasa Raghavan Santhanam, Director of Product Management at Site24x7, reflects on more than 15 years with the product and what he sees as its quiet strengths. He talks about GenAI as a hidden gem inside Site24x7, and you'll hear a standout customer story where a large Indian enterprise replaced 12 different tools with Site24x7, consolidating everything into a single platform. For him, that moment confirmed the platform’s ability to solve multiple problems at scale.

Agentic AI Essentials: The Dashboard and Changing IT Roles

Feb 5, 2026 By Krishna Sai In SolarWinds
Dashboards provide a useful prism through which we can study the broader evolution of the IT professional’s role in the era of agentic AI. For years, dashboards have been the centerpiece of IT work, serving as the interface where teams interpret system behavior, diagnose issues, and plan actions. Dashboards epitomize the relationship between humans and their systems: humans observe, interpret, and act. As agentic AI enters the picture, that relationship begins to change. Let’s explore how.

What Is Alert Noise Reduction? Techniques & Tools

Feb 5, 2026 By Arpit Sharma In Motadata
Modern IT environments are noisy. The sheer volume of telemetry data coming forth every second from microservices, hybrid clouds, and containerized applications is just extraordinary. In IT Operations, NOC teams, and Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), this data is crucial, but only if it can be acted upon. When it’s not like this, everything becomes a background noise.

What is the Open Container Initiative?

Feb 5, 2026 By Canonical Ubuntu In Canonical
In this video, we explain the Open Container Initiative (OCI) and how open, vendor-neutral standards make containers portable and interoperable across platforms, tools, and environments. We cover what OCI is, why OCI compliance matters, and how OCI defines the core building blocks of the container ecosystem: container images, runtimes, and distribution.

The AI-Empowered Site Reliability Engineer: Automating the Balance of Risk and Velocity

Feb 5, 2026 By Udi Hofesh In Komodor
You might expect an AI-SRE agent to target 100% reliable services, ones that never fail. It turns out that past a certain point, however, increasing reliability is worse for a service (and its users) rather than better! Extreme reliability comes at a non-linear cost: maximizing stability limits how fast new features can be developed, dramatically increases the operational cost, and reduces the features a team can afford to offer.

Transform IT major incident management with customizable AI Workflows from BigPanda

Feb 5, 2026 By Rachel Pearson In BigPanda
Enterprise Management Associates found that major IT service outages are increasing in cost, frequency, and duration, with unplanned downtime costing large enterprises nearly $25,000 per minute, or $1.5 million per hour. When every minute costs $25,000, you can’t afford to waste engineering time on coordination tasks like creating channels, paging experts, typing summaries, and posting updates. An agentic AI-powered incident assistant can eliminate that waste and reduce bridge call costs.

Migrating from Ingress NGINX to Calico Ingress Gateway: A Step-by-Step Guide

Feb 5, 2026 By Veronika Smolik In Tigera
In our previous post, we addressed the most common questions platform teams are asking as they prepare for the retirement of the NGINX Ingress Controller. With the March 2026 deadline fast approaching, this guide provides a hands-on, step-by-step walkthrough for migrating to the Kubernetes Gateway API using Calico Ingress Gateway. You will learn how to translate NGINX annotations into HTTPRoute rules, run both models side by side, and safely cut over live traffic.

Beyond a Billion Spans: Using Highlights for High-Speed Root Cause Analysis at Scale

Feb 5, 2026 By Jonny Steiner In Coralogix
In late 2025, we introduced Trace Highlight Comparison. This capability was designed to solve the problem of having too many spans. This causes technical and financial challenges when identifying performance patterns within high-volume telemetry streams. The goal is to avoid massive indexing costs and eliminate the ingestion latency associated with indexing every record. However, knowing these trends is only half the battle.

How Honeycomb Supercharges OpenTelemetry for AI

Feb 5, 2026 By Fahim Zaman In Honeycomb
It has become common knowledge that the nature of software development has changed as AI-code generation and agent-based features gain adoption. In perhaps a more subtle shift, the fundamentals of software instrumentation are changing too. As OpenTelemetry becomes the standard instrumentation layer across enterprises, with thousands of developers (many from Honeycomb) actively contributing to it, the nature of the telemetry data captured itself is evolving to meet the growing demand for rich context.
