What if your agent's hallucinations had a budget? How to start using SLOs for agent behavior

At Grafana Labs, observability is what we do. So as we started building AI agents, we naturally reached for the same instincts we bring to every system: measure it, set targets, and make reliability something you can reason about instead of hope for. That instinct led us somewhere unexpectedly useful. It turns out one of the oldest ideas in reliability engineering, the error budget, maps…

Grafana Alerting: Scale alert routing without scaling complexity using multiple notification policies

Alert routing often starts simple. A team creates a few contact points, adds some label matchers, and builds a notification policy tree that sends each alert to the right destination. But alerting configurations rarely stay simple. As an organization grows, its notification policy tree must accommodate more teams, services, and routing requirements. Changes for one team still require editing a…
