At BlackRock, this “**put our telemetry into action and ultimately resolved issues faster,**” Head of Observability Olin Gay said at ObservabilityCON. Watch demo Read the docs Learn more ### Reduce telemetry costs Using machine learning under the hood, the Adaptive Telemetry features aggregate unused metrics and optimize log volumes. “**It not only saves us hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but it’s also a forcing function for us to look closely at our metrics to find additional opportunities for time series reduction and cardinality improvements,**” said Mux Senior Engineering Manager Ron Lipke. Watch demo Adaptative Metrics Adaptative Logs ### Manage your incident response, all in Grafana Cloud The IRM solution provides workflows to create alerts and SLOs, manage on-call and incident response, and learn from postmortems – all within the context of your observability stack. “**Getting on-call notifications and paging integrated closer to the dashboards and data that help developers diagnose and resolve issues will greatly improve on-call workflows,**” said The Trade Desk Staff Software Engineer Nathan Bellowe.
