Engineers Want AI in Observability - With One Catch: 4th Annual Observability Survey by Grafana Labs
Actually useful AI is welcome in observability. AI for the sake of AI is not.
In this overview of Grafana Labs’ 4th annual Observability Survey, Marc Chipouras shares what 1,300+ respondents from 76 countries told us about the current state of observability — and what comes next.
This year’s survey explores four major themes:
- Open source and the evolution of observability
- AI’s growing role in observability workflows
- Observability’s expansion across the organization
- The continued maturation of observability practices
The results show strong interest in AI for forecasting, root cause analysis, onboarding, and generating dashboards, alerts, and queries. But when it comes to autonomous action, practitioners are more cautious — and 95% say AI needs to show its work to earn trust.
