Most telemetry is built for humans, not machines, and that’s why AI observability agents struggle to deliver real value. In this post, 👋Yogev Kriger explains how to make observability agents do more than summarize logs. Here's the blueprint: hubs.la/Q03DXdB90

Sawmills just released LiveConfig, a new feature that lets you update telemetry processor configs — in production — without restarts or redeploys. Telemetry pipelines shouldn't grind to a halt because of a minor config tweak. Get the details: hubs.la/Q03DymYd0

BigID was dealing with an all too familar problem - high Datadog bills. So they tried something different. With Sawmills smart telemetry management, they got real-time control over their telemetry. 📖 Read the full case study: hubs.la/Q03CNq260

How cost-efficient is your Datadog setup? We just launched a free tool to grade your spend and provide optimization recommendations. Try it out. hubs.ly/Q03BQHMV0

Join us tomorrow! We're excited to partner with Finout for a live webinar on reducing Datadog costs. We’ll cover practical optimization tips and visibility tricks and showcase some powerful new features. Aug 5, 2025 12 PM EST | 9 AM PST hubs.la/Q03B9-Xg0

We just released a major update to Sawmills Smart Insights that gives DevOps teams even more real-time control over their telemetry data to cut observability costs and reduce noise. Get the details. hubs.la/Q03zRPGy0

We just shipped datadoglogreceiver, a new OpenTelemetry Collector component. It allows you to continue using the battle-tested Datadog Agent for log collection, while piping those logs into any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend. Read the walkthrough: hubs.la/Q03yLrWL0

We're stoked to partner with Finout for a live webinar on reducing Datadog costs. We’ll cover practical optimization tips and visibility tricks and showcase some powerful new features. Aug 5, 2025 12 PM EST | 9 AM PST hubs.la/Q03ydl450

BigPanda slashed observability costs by 63% and reduced log ingestion by 93%, without switching platforms or sacrificing visibility. No rehydration delays. No code rewrites. No firefighting. Just dramatically smarter telemetry. 👉 See how - hubs.la/Q03wgkCl0

When your logs speak 1,000 dialects, how do you know which one’s crying for help? Our latest blog breaks down how to identify noisy day and drop costs without asking 12 teams to re-deploy. 👉 Read the post: hubs.la/Q03w4bPZ0

We just launched Live Tail in Sawmills, a real-time log validation tool that lets you see exactly what's happening to your data. Live Tail is like having X-ray vision for your log pipeline. Read how Live Tail helps you understand telemetry workflows 👇 hubs.la/Q03tTMvl0

Are you struggling to handle massive data volumes in real-time without your memory usage exploding? 🤔 Our latest blog focuses on solving high-cardinality problems at scale, along with a guide to probabilistic data structures. hubs.la/Q03tzL-00

We partnered with CNCF contributor Ken Finnigan to launch a practical tutorial series on the OpenTelemetry Collector. In this first video, Ken walks you through how to deploy and configure the Collector from scratch. Watch here → hubs.la/Q03sTYkM0

Observability agents are here. But your telemetry? It’s not ready. Telemetry was built for humans, not machines. Agents don’t “get it” unless your data is structured, enriched, and accessible. Here's how to make telemetry actionable for agents. hubs.la/Q03srjgJ0

Sawmills’ own Shubhanshu Surana spoke at SRE Day SF on how CAP Theorem can guide smarter telemetry data pipelines. From quota-aware OTel collectors to balancing trace fidelity vs system uptime. 🎥 Watch here: hubs.la/Q03n8QmG0

OTel Collector is powerful, but it can be fragile. Complex configs, patchy visibility, and silent failures catch teams off guard. Sawmills CTO Amir Jakoby breaks down what to expect — and how to stay ahead. hubs.la/Q03mLQ410

If you’re battling the tradeoff between insight and cost, this blog is for you. Read how smart telemetry pipelines, better sampling strategies, and a ruthless focus on actionability can make observability feel like an asset again—not a liability. hubs.la/Q03m2wpD0

We’re excited to have Sawmills’ own Shubhanshu Surana speaking at #SREday this Friday. He’ll dive into using CAP Theorem to manage telemetry data quotas with OpenTelemetry (OTel) Collectors. 👉 hubs.ly/Q03grQC50 #Observability #DevOps #Cloud #SRE #OpenTelemetry

Sawmills hit the stage at KubeCon Observability Day to share strategies for cutting through the noise and making logs useful for RCA efficiency and effectiveness. If you missed the session, grab some time with us 👉 hubs.la/Q03fgvd_0
