This article explores the emerging category of AI-powered operations agents, comparing AI DevOps engineers and AI SRE agents, how cloud providers are responding, and what engineers should consider when evaluating these tools.
hl is a fast, Rust-based JSON log viewer designed for efficient processing of structured logs. It offers fast indexing and parsing, enabling quick scanning of large log files.
Grafana and GitLab have released a new open-source solution that links GitLab CI/CD events into Grafana's observability stack via a serverless architecture, enabling real-time visibility and correlation between deploy events and performance metrics.
TraceRoot.AI is an AI-native observability platform that helps developers fix production bugs faster by analyzing structured logs and traces. It offers SDK integration, AI agents for root cause analysis, and a platform for comprehensive visualizations.
TraceRoot accelerates the debugging process with AI-powered insights. It integrates seamlessly into your development workflow, providing real-time trace and log analysis, code context understanding, and intelligent assistance. It offers both a cloud and self-hosted version, with SDKs available for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript.
Grafana Labs have launched Grafana 12, bringing significant updates to its visualisation and dashboarding platform. Several new key features are now generally available, including Git Sync, dynamic dashboards, and improvements to Drilldown. A central feature is a new collection of observability-as-code tools, designed to help teams automate observability workflows.
Why developers are spinning up AI behind your back — and how to detect it. The article discusses the rise of 'Shadow AI' - developers integrating LLMs into production without approval, the risks involved, and strategies for organizations to manage it effectively.
>We’ve seen LLMs used to auto-tag infrastructure, classify alerts, generate compliance doc stubs, and spin up internal search tools on top of knowledge bases. We’ve also seen them quietly embedded into CI/CD workflows...
OpenTelemetry offers a standardized process for observability, but its functionality is a work in progress. Its usefulness depends on the observability tools and platforms used in conjunction with OpenTelemetry.
