Video: Episode 1 | Summary: In this webinar, SolarWinds experts explore unified visibility as a key component of observability, discussing how modern IT teams can move beyond siloed monitoring to gain comprehensive insights across their infrastructure.This discussion with observability experts Chrystal Taylor, Sasha Giza and Chad Every, examines how visibility has evolved from traditional monitoring approaches to a more holistic observability strategy that connects data across formerly siloed IT departments. | Chapters: Introducing Unified Visibility (7s), Observability vs. Monitoring (175s), Unified Visibility Challenges (314s), Collaborative Observability Approach (507s), AI-Powered Observability Benefits (1001s), Building Internal Trust (1526s), Product Feature Showcase (1808s), Self-Hosted Observability Features (2042s) Video: Episode 2 | Summary: In this webinar, RJ Gazarek (Senior Director of Product Marketing) and Amiya Adwitiya (Sr Director of Product Management at SolarWinds and former CEO of Squadcast) alongside Chrystal Taylor discuss incident response and systems thinking for better IT operations, with insights on preventing cascading failures and building operational resilience.Watch the conversation to explore how effective incident response requires understanding IT systems as interconnected components rather than isolated parts. The experts share real-world examples of how poor incident management can lead to cascading failures when engineers make changes without understanding broader system implications. | Chapters: Observability Masterclass Introduction (10s), Defining Incident Response (87s), Incident Response Challenges (318s), Systemic Problem Analysis (849s), Building Operational Resilience (1044s), Improving Incident Response (1318s), Mental Health Considerations (1558s) Video: Episode 3 | Summary: In this webinar, tech evangelist Chrystal Taylor from SolarWinds, joined by Pete Di Stefano (SolarWinds Director of Product Marketing) and John Collins (Analyst at GigaOm) explores how different AI technologies are transforming IT monitoring and troubleshooting while reducing complexity and alert noise.The discussion covers the evolution of AI in observability tools, from traditional machine learning algorithms to newer technologies like generative AI and agentic AI. The experts emphasize that AI should augment human capabilities rather than replace them, with a focus on automation that reduces manual work while maintaining appropriate human oversight for critical decisions. | Chapters: Introduction to Observability (10s), Defining AI Terms (93s), Agentic AI Applications (277s), Generative AI Applications (524s), AI Principles and Oversight (1111s), AI Implementation Best Practices (1278s), AI Features Demonstration (1580s), Anticipating Future Challenges (2533s), AI Vision Forward (2554s) Video: Episode 1 | Duration: 3291s | Summary: Most modern organizations are drowning in monitoring tools while trying to gain visibility over complex, hybrid environments. This “tool sprawl” creates more noise and less visibility, drives up licensing and maintenance costs, and fragments data—leading to inefficiencies and finger-pointing over who owns issues. Join us for our first 2026 masterclass to learn: How to identify and remove redundant tools, cutting costs and overhead Core elements of a modern observability architecture that eliminate data silos A framework to speed up troubleshooting and lower MTTRThe latest cloud cost monitoring capabilities from SolarWinds Plus, see a demo showing how a consolidated observability workflow can help you improve focus and reduce the time to detect, investigate, and resolve issues.
