Logentries announced a Hosted Graphite integration that enables users to easily extract their most important log level metrics and display them visually in a Hosted Graphite environment. From server stats, to application stats, to application-user behavior metrics, the integration plugs valuable metrics generated from log data into a centralized dashboard providing insightful correlation and analysis with other critical business metrics.
Today, log data is used as a shared source of information across all aspects of a business, from development, to operations, to marketing, to business management. Similarly, metrics extracted from other key system components are regularly exposed via Graphite, a popular open source real-time graphing system. By extracting log level metrics from the Logentries service and displaying it in Hosted Graphite’s real-time monitoring dashboard, users can consolidate their monitoring into one single location and easily correlate across key business metrics.
“Managing a real-time news website requires that our Ops team is able to monitor and analyze performance and user experience in real-time,” said Andrew Mullaney, CTO and Co-Founder, NewsWhip. “The Logentries and Hosted Graphite integration enables us to do this by bringing log level data into centralized, dynamic dashboards where we can use it to monitor across applications and users, and also correlate with broader system-level metrics and KPIs.”
With Logentries’ Hosted Graphite integration, users can:
- View various log data streams (server memory, CPU, exception count) in one hosted, real-time graph.
- Export unlimited metrics from Logentries into Hosted Graphite.
- Correlate important log data across all metrics within a Hosted Graphite environment.
“Logs and metrics have always been two sides of the same monitoring coin, and it is great to be able to bring them together,” said Dave Concannon, CEO, Hosted Graphite. “The ability to correlate Logentries’ log data with application and system metrics from Hosted Graphite gives our users a detailed, holistic view of how their software is performing.”
“The modern Ops team requires data from a range of different tools and data sources to give them a complete picture of their complex environments,” said Trevor Parsons, Chief Scientist and Co-founder, Logentries. “Both log data and platforms like Hosted Graphite are key components in the modern Ops toolkit and allow for a consolidated view. Connecting these technologies enables easy correlation to help identify and understand important trends, key performance indicators, and system behaviors.”

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.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
