Last week I shared 5 "myths" - things CIOs and other IT practitioners believe about #monitoring and #observability that are simply not true.

What were those myths?
1) Monitoring is just an IT operations problem
2) More data equals better visibility
3) Internal metrics tell the full story
4) AI will fix monitoring automatically
5) Downtime is the only metric that matters.

If you'd like to hear more - not just about the myths themselves but also how their history, the modern truth, and how to move past them - then check out the video link below.

the state of #observability is deplorable, the landscape fractured and mostly focused on competition, a significant portion of the telemetry emitted useless and overloaded while important stuff is still missing, the tooling itself hard to "observe" and OMG the usability and the ability to automate things EASILY...
this is really one of those "that's it I'm writing my own" moments. it won't even be slower than setting up existing tools properly and squeeze everything into yesterday's concepts.

So are we doing Tempo, Victoria, Influx... what for home lab observability now?

@nblumhardt Look, #JetBrainsRider learned a new #OpenTelemetry trick and it works pretty well with #SeriLog
I wish there would be a similar @seq plugin for Rider that would just spin up a local dev Seq instance for me and sow the logs directly in the IDE.

I spent some time researching exporting JSON logs from various applications on my #pfSense router. I came across a lot of "just use syslog-ng" in forums. I decided to put together notes with the details on how to do that in case you don't want to think about it yourself:

OpenTelemetry’s real strength? Correlating logs, metrics, traces, and more into one connected picture.

Yowza. I got a nice boost from @nixCraft and my instance survived. That was a helluva boost.

My obsession with #MCP servers continues. And like many of my obsessions, I love finding ways in which they intersect with other obsessions (hello, #Observability). I decided to leverage the #Dynatrace MCP server to use natural language to query #OpenTelemetry data in Dynatrace. End result? Well, you’ll need to read the blog post!
