Logentries announced a new Analytics Language - Logentries Query Language (LEQL) - that offers an easy-to-use alternative to traditional search languages that require deep technical skill and often include more than 100 search terms.
LEQL bridges the gap between management and analysis by enabling users to not only collect and search log data in real-time, but now use logs to visualize high-level trends, perform sophisticated correlation across log data streams, and drill down as needed to the most fine-grained format of their data.
The Logentries Query Language (LEQL) helps users to slice-and-dice their data using sophisticated search functions such as Count, Sum, Average, Min, Max, Group By, Sort and more. The new analytics language delivers the ability to see both the high level trend reports and the most fine-grained view of system and application performance using one single tool. This consolidated, easy-to-use view has become critical to improving efficiency and time to resolution for IT and Dev Ops teams and makes log analysis finally accessible to all members of the IT and Dev Ops teams, not just the data scientists.
“Our new LEQL language has been designed to be powerful, yet easy to use,” said Trevor Parsons, Chief Scientist, Logentries. “It enables our users to easily ask questions of their log data and get immediate visibility across their software stack, without requiring them to learn a new, complex query language.”
With the addition of the new real-time Analytics language, Logentries now enables the three key pillars of DataOps, a critical approach to better managing and understanding all available data across an organization to inform smarter IT and Dev Ops decision making. Log data uniquely enables DataOps by collecting, centralizing and analyzing all log data across the entire software stack from every type of component using:
- Real-Time Search & Investigation – Aggregated live tail, easy keyword search and Regex extraction give users a way to troubleshoot issues and anomalies in seconds, while better understanding what is happening, as it happens, across operations systems.
- Real-Time Alerting – Instant notifications set by custom thresholds on the most critical services and requirements ensure users can take immediate action to ensure system reliability.
- Intelligent Analytics Language – Sophisticated query functions such as Max, Min, Sort by, Top and Rare, provide new data visualization capabilities for issue correlation and root cause analysis.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
