Mezmo announced the general availability of the Mezmo Agent 3.6, which introduces Windows support to our Rust Agent.
The new version of the agent supports file logging on Windows, which means customers can now upgrade to an agent that runs on Rust and take advantage of many new customization options.
As part of the company name change, from LogDNA to Mezmo, the company will be changing the name of the agent to mezmo-agent. This will happen over a series of releases. Starting in 3.6, environment variables will begin with the prefix MZ, but will be backwards compatible with LOGDNA_. Starting with 3.7, "mezmo" will be used in the names of the agent's binaries and yaml files. The "logdna" name will be backwards compatible until version 4.0, when we will fully remove all references to "LOGDNA_" and "logdna".
After the release of Agent 3.6, Mezmo will remove the “latest” and “stable” tags from the docker images.
Immediately going forward, Mezmo will use a semantic versioning scheme (MM.mm.pp). Minor and patch releases will happen on an ongoing basis. Minor versions will be for adding functionality in a backwards compatible manner; patch versions will be for making backwards compatible bug fixes.
Major releases will happen when there is a breaking change (for instance, the shift from “logdna” to “mezmo” in 4.0 is a breaking change). After a major release, the previous major version will receive security updates for the next year, but not updates containing new features or general bug fixes.
To bring the agent into this support matrix, Mezmo will be discontinuing support of agents that are below version 3.6 starting with the release of 4.0. These agents will still be able to send logs to our service and logs will be ingested normally, but these versions of the agent will no longer be updated for any reason.

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
