ScienceLogic announced the availability of Skylar Advisor™, an AI-native advisor designed to help IT teams turn overwhelming data into confident, valuable outcomes.
Skylar Advisor is AI-native by design, combining real-time observability data with customer-owned knowledge to reason across IT environments and delivering guidance that is transparent, explainable, and verifiable.
Skylar Advisor eliminates the manual stitching of alerts, tickets, and tribal knowledge. It transforms enterprise data and customer-owned documentation into evidence-backed recommendations that teams can inspect, validate, and trust.
Skylar Advisor introduces a more proactive operating model for IT, one where AI doesn’t just surface insights, but prioritizes and guides actions.
"IT teams are drowning in data but starving for insight," said Dave Link, CEO and co-founder of ScienceLogic. "Skylar Advisor applies AI reasoning directly to operational reality – not abstract prompts or generic models. It automates the analysis and guidance that once depended on human intuition. This helps organizations act faster, reduce risk, and innovate with confidence."
Part of the ScienceLogic AI Platform™, Skylar Advisor functions as an AI-native partner that understands IT context, explains issues in plain language, and guides teams toward the most effective next steps. Rather than reacting to individual alerts, Skylar Advisor continuously reasons across telemetry, topology, and historical knowledge to surface what matters most and why.
Skylar Advisor proactively delivers insights and guidance across the lifecycle of IT operations. It supports professionals at every level, enabling junior engineers to resolve issues with confidence while allowing senior engineers and SREs to focus on higher-value initiatives such as optimization, automation, and innovation.
Skylar Advisor is powered by a knowledge-centric architecture. It combines agentic orchestration with automated knowledge capture and state-of-the-art retrieval accuracy, deployable anywhere. It combines real-time observability with curated enterprise knowledge to deliver verifiable, actionable intelligence. Every recommendation is grounded in evidence, with explicit traceability to the underlying data and documentation that informed it.
Key capabilities include:
- Advisories: Automatically detect, summarize, and explain the most critical problems buried within event floods, helping teams prioritize what matters most and why.
- Ask Skylar: Provide instant, context-aware answers through a conversational interface grounded in enterprise knowledge to accelerate investigation and execution.
- Persona Wizard: Adapt tone, depth, and format of guidance based on user role from L1 engineers and SREs to executives ensuring relevance and clarity.
- Knowledge Corpus: Unify telemetry with trusted knowledge sources, forming the foundation that powers guidance while maintaining governance and control.
- Automatic Knowledge Generation: Capture investigation steps and verified fixes to continuously create accurate, reusable knowledge base content.
- Verifiable Insights: Ensure all guidance is evidence-backed, citing the exact data and documents used for traceability and assurance.
"As IT environments continue to scale, relying on people to manually connect alerts, tickets, and documentation doesn’t work," said Michael Nappi, Chief Product Officer at ScienceLogic. "Skylar Advisor automates how operational knowledge is captured, interpreted, and applied, helping teams move faster and make better decisions without adding risk."
Skylar Advisor is a core intelligence component of the ScienceLogic AI Platform, which also includes Skylar One™ (formerly SL1) for observability, Skylar Automation™ for action, Skylar Compliance™ for assurance, and Skylar Analytics™ for deeper metric insights. Together, the platform delivers service-centric observability, AI-driven operations, and intelligent automation aligned directly to business outcomes.
Skylar Advisor helps IT organizations move beyond reactive monitoring to a more proactive, resilient operating model by embedding intelligence directly into daily operations, turning enterprise data and institutional knowledge into faster decisions and better outcomes.

Outages aren't new. What's new is how quickly they spread across systems, vendors, regions and customer workflows. The moment that performance degrades, expectations escalate fast. In today's always-on environment, an outage isn't just a technical event. It's a trust event ...
Most organizations approach OpenTelemetry as a collection of individual tools they need to assemble from scratch. This view misses the bigger picture. OpenTelemetry is a complete telemetry framework with composable components that address specific problems at different stages of organizational maturity. You start with what you need today and adopt additional pieces as your observability practices evolve ...
One of the earliest lessons I learned from architecting throughput-heavy services is that simplicity wins repeatedly: fewer moving parts, loosely coupled execution (fewer synchronous calls), and precise timing metering. You want data and decisions to travel the shortest possible path. The goal is to build a system where every strategy and each line of code (contention is the key metric) complements the decision trees ...
As discussions around AI "autonomous coworkers" accelerate, many industry projections assume that agents will soon operate alongside human staff in making decisions, taking actions, and managing tasks with minimal oversight. But a growing number of critics (including some of the developers building these systems) argue that the industry still has a long way to go to be able to treat AI agents like fully trusted teammates ...
Enterprise AI has entered a transformational phase where, according to Digitate's recently released survey, Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise IT, companies are moving beyond traditional automation toward Agentic AI systems designed to reason, adapt, and collaborate alongside human teams ...
The numbers back this urgency up. A recent Zapier survey shows that 92% of enterprises now treat AI as a top priority. Leaders want it, and teams are clamoring for it. But if you look closer at the operations of these companies, you see a different picture. The rollout is slow. The results are often delayed. There's a disconnect between what leaders want and what their technical infrastructure can handle ...
Kyndryl's 2025 Readiness Report revealed that 61% of global business and technology leaders report increasing pressure from boards and regulators to prove AI's ROI. As the technology evolves and expectations continue to rise, leaders are compelled to generate and prove impact before scaling further. This will lead to a decisive turning point in 2026 ...
Cloudflare's disruption illustrates how quickly a single provider's issue cascades into widespread exposure. Many organizations don't fully realize how tightly their systems are coupled to third party services, or how quickly availability and security concerns align when those services falter ... You can't avoid these dependencies, but you can understand them ...
If you work with AI, you know this story. A model performs during testing, looks great in early reviews, works perfectly in production and then slowly loses relevance after operating for a while. Everything on the surface looks perfect — pipelines are running, predictions or recommendations are error-free, data quality checks show green; yet outcomes don't meet the ground reality. This pattern often repeats across enterprise AI programs. Take for example, a mid-sized retail banking and wealth-management firm with heavy investments in AI-powered risk analytics, fraud detection and personalized credit-decisioning systems. The model worked well for a while, but transactions increased, so did false positives by 18% ...
Basic uptime is no longer the gold standard. By 2026, network monitoring must do more than report status, it must explain performance in a hybrid-first world. Networks are no longer just static support systems; they are agile, distributed architectures that sit at the very heart of the customer experience and the business outcomes ... The following five trends represent the new standard for network health, providing a blueprint for teams to move from reactive troubleshooting to a proactive, integrated future ...
