Effective cloud monitoring focuses on real-time telemetry correlation to understand failures, not just data collection.
I do not want AI in my web browser. I just don't. I also don't want companies collecting information about me, or sponsored content and product integrations. All those bits make me want to pull my hair out. I like my privacy and want to browse, you know, the old-fashioned way. I do use AI (on occasion), but only locally-installed AI and only for specific purposes (such as learning Python or researching a topic when I don't want to use a standard search engine).

Much of this information needs to be sent to the manufacturer to keep your device up to date and functioning properly. With that goal in mind, your phone might share any of the following tidbits: Device identifiers such as IMEI numbers, hardware serial numbers, and SIM details Telemetry data about the device's system status or health Service checks for push notifications and operating system updates Crash logs or diagnostic analytics The connectivity state, such as Wi-Fi vs. mobile Content updates, including news, social feeds, and synced emails
New Relic today announced the general availability of a new platform capability that allows users to directly query entity and relationship data within New Relic Database (NRDB) using the familiar New Relic Query Language (NRQL). This powerful capability allows users to seamlessly join this vital information with their telemetry data, all in one place.
Cisco today at its Splunk .Conf25 conference previewed a series of artificial intelligence (AI) agents for the Splunk Observability platform that are capable of automating the collection of telemetry data using open source OpenTelemetry software, detecting issues, identifying root causes, and applying fixes. At the same time, Cisco also launched Cisco Data Fabric, a platform that makes it possible to aggregate and analyze machine data at scale without having to ingest it into a specific platform. That platform will also soon be extended to add support to analyze time-series data as well using multiple AI toolkits that Cisco is making available.
