Integrating Icinga and Prometheus

Guest post by Markus Opolka, Senior Consultant at NETWAYS. Originally published on the NETWAYS blog as “Icinga und Prometheus integrieren” and “Alertmanager-Icinga-Bridge – Ein Signalilo Fork”, combined and adapted for the Icinga blog with permission.

This Month in Datadog - July 2026

In July’s episode of This Month in Datadog, Ruxanda Lueck joins Jeremy for a conversation about how you can confidently evaluate and release features that contain AI-generated code. She also discusses her career trajectory from containers to AI, how agentic workflows impact trust during feature development, and the challenges of testing nondeterministic agent behavior.

From Claude Code to Production: A Monitoring Checklist for Python Developers

Python is the native language of AI-assisted development. Models are really good at writing it, and a lot of people are now shipping it without ever having written much Python themselves. The whole thing is really simple. You prompt an app, Claude Code or Cursor produces a working Flask or FastAPI backend, and you’re live in a few hours. However, there’s still a big difference between “it works on my machine” and “it works in production”.

The Secret Sauce of SLSA: DevGovOps at the Speed of Agentic AI

Software supply chain engineering has reached a critical inflection point. As autonomous AI coding agents transition from generating autocomplete suggestions to planning, writing, reviewing, and deploying entire software pipelines without humans in the loop, the connection between human intent and production binaries is fracturing.

How to Fix On-Call Burnout Before It Breaks Your Team

On-call burnout is no longer a fringe complaint. It is one of the loudest signals in the 2026 reliability data. A wave of fresh industry research this year points to the same uncomfortable conclusion: the people who keep systems running are running on empty. In the DuploCloud 2026 AI and DevOps Report, 47 percent of engineers said DevOps overload contributes to burnout, with on-call rotations and repetitive maintenance singled out as primary culprits.

What Should You Do When the S&P 500 Hits Record Highs?

When the S&P 500 reaches a new all-time high, it tends to spark strong reactions from investors.
