Windows 11 End of Life Overview #shorts
Key Takeaways November 2025 marks the first month of the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates program. If you are planning to run Windows 10 for an extended period, ensure you have upgraded to Windows 10 version 22H2. The Windows OS update is the highest priority this month as it resolves a known exploited CVE (CVE-2025-62215). Third-party updates from Adobe and Mozilla have already been released and an update for Google Chrome is expected soon, which means Edge will also need an update. November Patch Tuesday is the first Patch Tuesday after the EoL of Windows 10.
Understand, diagnose, and optimize SQL queries: Introducing Grafana Cloud Database Observability
It’s widely acknowledged that most application performance problems stem not from the application itself, but from the underlying database. Slow or inefficient database queries are often the primary cause of these issues, acting as the biggest driver of application performance incidents. If you’ve been troubleshooting slow API calls or sluggish services, chances are the root cause likely resides within your database layer.
Network Monitoring vs. Network Observability: What Do You Need?
A decade ago, network monitoring was straightforward. You had a data center, some branch offices, MPLS circuits connecting everything, and a handful of applications running on-premises. Set some SNMP thresholds, configure a few alerts, and you were covered. When something broke, the problem was usually obvious: a failed switch, a saturated link, a misconfigured router. Today's networks bear zero resemblance to that world.
MCP Explained: Conversational AI for Graylog
Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives large language models (LLMs) a secure way to interact with your Graylog data and workflows. Instead of writing complex queries, you can ask questions in plain English, such as: Analysts gain speed, administrators maintain control, and security stays intact.

Introducing the Splunk Technology Add on for Ollama Illuminating Shadow AI Deployments
Without strong visibility and governance, local LLMs risk replicating the fragmented, unsupervised sprawl once seen in shadow IT, complicating security postures and making it difficult for organizations to ensure proper oversight and compliance as these powerful AI tools become embedded in daily workflows. To address this challenge, The Splunk Threat Research Team has released the Splunk Technology Add-on for Ollama that provides comprehensive monitoring and observability capabilities specifically designed for local LLM deployments.
Your NOC's Most Important New Skill? Ignoring Things
I want to challenge a deeply held belief in our industry, one that I once championed myself: the idea that more data is the answer. We've spent a fortune building vast data lakes of network telemetry, believing that if we could just collect everything, we would achieve a state of operational nirvana.
