Introducing o11y-bench: an open benchmark for AI agents running observability workflows

Apr 21, 2026 By Yasir Ekinci In Grafana
Evaluating agents is hard. Verifying observability tasks is harder. Yes, AI agents have gotten dramatically and quantifiably better at coding and tool use, but observability presents a different kind of challenge.

Monitor Databricks with Grafana Cloud for instant visibility into your workloads

Apr 20, 2026 By Grafana Labs Team In Grafana
If you're running Databricks workloads, you've probably asked yourself these types of questions: How much is this costing me? Why did that job fail last night? Why are my dashboard queries suddenly slow? We've been there, too. Databricks is fantastic for data engineering, ML, and analytics. But once you start running jobs, pipelines, and SQL queries at scale, you need a way to keep tabs on what's happening. That's why we built the Databricks integration for Grafana Cloud.
