What is an AIOps platform?

IT operations (ITOps) teams are challenged to keep pace with the rapid pace of digital transformation. As companies use more cloud-based apps, increase agile deployments, and develop new microservices-based applications, their technology stacks become exponentially more complex.

With Bring Your Own Collector (BYOC), Bindplane now accepts any upstream-compatible build, recognizes exactly which receivers, processors, and exporters it contains, and adapts the UI and configuration workflow on the fly.

AI Service Desk Showdown: RITA vs. Legacy Chatbots

Over the last decade, IT teams have leaned on chatbots to manage rising support volumes, aiming to deflect tickets and lighten the burden on overworked service desk agents. These legacy chatbots served a purpose—but today they’ve hit a wall. Static responses and script-based flows can’t keep pace with the expectations of modern digital workers or the dynamic needs of enterprise IT. That’s where a new kind of intelligence emerges.

Edge Data Replication: Contributions and Status Updates for InfluxDB 3

If you’ve ever stood up multiple edge InfluxDB instances in remote locations and wished you could consolidate their data into a centralized instance for analysis, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why we designed Edge Data Replication (EDR) in InfluxDB v2. Now, with InfluxDB 3 Core and 3 Enterprise, we’re seeing new ways to handle replication using the brand-new Python Processing Engine.

How to Convert Email to Push Notifications
