As an IT security professional, you work hard to prevent cyberattacks. You patch your systems regularly, update antivirus libraries, run user trainings, and lock down user access to sensitive systems and data. You follow solid cyber hygiene.
In the second installment of our Observability Masterclass series, we take a closer look at the complexities that arise once unified visibility is achieved across systems. While connecting metrics, logs, and traces is a significant milestone, it introduces a new challenge: alert fatigue.
The SolarWinds IT Trends Report is an annual, independent report exploring the challenges and strategies IT teams face to achieve operational resilience. The 2025 report was created in partnership with UserEvidence, who surveyed over 600 IT leaders. The survey focused on how respondents perceive their organization’s operational resilience and the underlying issues that affect it.
Dealing with glitches, disruptions, and malfunctions is an inherent part of managing technology and incident response. In today’s increasingly complex infrastructures, operational success depends on how quickly IT personnel can resolve issues when they arise.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is shifting from tools that aid with tasks to systems capable of autonomous reasoning, planning, and action. Infrastructure observability is changing as a result.

Siloed data, siloed teams. Data fragmentation occurs when information is stored in isolated systems or formats, prompting inconsistencies, duplication, and a lack of visibility. In this second article in a series discussing the five most common obstacles to achieving full-stack observability, we explore why teams need a unified platform to shed light on their infrastructure and get their people on the same page.
