ScienceLogic introduced Skylar™ AI.
Reasoning over telemetry and stored knowledge, Skylar delivers accurate predictions, tailored recommendations, and intelligent automations that drive business efficiency and innovation.
Skylar AI is an AI suite that harnesses the power of generative AI and unsupervised machine learning combined with human-in-the-loop automation training models to revolutionize IT operations. By automating complex troubleshooting tasks, Skylar unburdens human experts from spending time on routine operational tasks, freeing up more time for innovation. Skylar redefines what’s possible in IT operations (ITOps), paving the way for exceptional customer experiences and unprecedented business agility.
“We stand at the precipice of a new era," said Dave Link, CEO and co-founder of ScienceLogic. "The nonstop pace of technological innovation has created IT ecosystems of staggering complexity, far surpassing human capacity to manage effectively. Skylar AI is our answer to this monumental challenge. It's a paradigm shift. By harnessing the revolutionary potential of machine learning and generative AI, we're not merely solving today's IT problems—we're architecting the future of IT management. Skylar doesn't just react; it anticipates, learns, and evolves. This isn't incremental improvement; it's a quantum leap that will redefine how businesses operate in the relentless digital age, ensuring they don't just keep pace with innovation, but drive it."
Skylar AI can proactively uncover insights, curate data, and guide users to business-impacting issues before they happen. It moves past simply managing problems to predicting and preventing them before they occur by drawing from three primary components:
- Skylar Advisor: An AI advisor that transcends the limitations of today’s AI assistants, often known as co-pilots. It proactively delivers context-rich insights, precise predictions, and actionable recommendations, enabling businesses to prevent issues before they occur, optimize resources, and drive innovation without relying on constant human expertise. Skylar Advisor empowers users of all levels to easily align with institutional best practices to address IT issues efficiently.*
- Skylar Analytics: A set of intelligent unsupervised AI/ML analytics coupled with deep data exploration and visualization capabilities, allowing teams to rapidly reason over critical and historical data to inform and empower the business to make strategic decisions quickly and confidently.
- Skylar Automated Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Real-time root cause analysis for application and environment logs to quickly identify incident details, showing key log lines, plain language summaries, and recommended actions, saving hours (sometimes days) of manual effort.
*Some features to be available in late 2024.

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 ...
Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans. Recent changes in technology and vendor consolidation are forcing a second look. Cloud outages and licensing changes have exposed how much dependency exists on a small number of platforms. As a result, organizations are reevaluating whether those decisions still hold up under current conditions ...

As AI adoption accelerates, operational complexity — not model intelligence — is becoming the primary barrier to reliable AI at scale, according to the State of AI Engineering 2026 from Datadog ... The report highlights a compounding complexity challenge as AI systems scale ... Around 5% of AI model requests fail in production, with nearly 60% of those failures caused by capacity limits ...
For years, production operations teams have treated alert fatigue as a quality-of-life problem: something that makes on-call rotations miserable but isn't considered a direct contributor to outages. That framing doesn't capture how these systems fail, and we now have data to show why. More importantly, it's now clear alert fatigue is a symptom of a deeper issue: production systems have outgrown the current operational approaches ...
I was on a customer call last fall when an enterprise architect said something I haven't been able to shake. Her team had just spent four months trying to swap one AI vendor for another. The original plan said three weeks. "We didn't switch vendors," she told me. "We rebuilt half our integrations and discovered what we'd actually been depending on." Most enterprise leaders don't expect that to be the experience ...
Ask any senior SRE or platform engineer what keeps them up at night, and the answer probably isn't the monitoring tool — it's the data feeding it. The proliferation of APM, observability, and AIOps platforms has created a telemetry sprawl problem that most teams manage reactively rather than architect proactively. Metrics are going to one platform. Traces routed somewhere else. Logs duplicated across multiple backends because nobody wants to be caught without them when something breaks. Every redundant stream costs money ...
