You can choose which device is used as a failsafe, giving you an extra layer of reassurance that you’ll never miss an important notification when it matters.

Role-based Access Control: Scaling Access Control for Enterprise Needs
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is the backbone of secure system design, offering a structured method to manage user permissions and reduce the risks associated with overprivileged access. For large enterprise systems, RBAC is essential to ensure compliance, maintain operational integrity, and enable fine-grained access control across multiple teams and projects.
From Datadog to Grafana Cloud: Why companies migrate and how it changes business for the better
“Impossibly expensive.”“Generic database metrics.”“Exceeding limits.”“No transparency.” These are the words our customers use to explain why they looked for a Datadog alternative and migrated onto Grafana Labs’ observability solutions. Grafana Cloud provided the scalability that LexisNexis Risk Solutions needed to migrate acquired companies into a unified observability platform. “We’ve had migrations from Datadog.
Grafana Beyla 2.0: distributed traces, scalable Kubernetes deployments, and more
In November 2023, we released Grafana Beyla 1.0, the first major milestone in our pursuit of zero-code (and zero-effort) eBPF instrumentation. We delivered a way — through a single command-line — to automatically instrument any application supporting HTTP/gRPC protocols, as well as provide basic network packet flow information.
New Relic vs Kibana: A Guide to Choosing the Right Tool in 2025
New Relic and Kibana are popular monitoring and observability tools that provide a wide range of features for analysing and visualizing data.
