As data integration increases, so does noise, making AI-powered analysis essential. The new paradigm focuses on AI engines that can correlate all telemetry signals simultaneously, provide root cause analysis, and suggest next actions through conversational interfaces. Key requirements for this shift include audit trails for AI decisions, knowledge graphs to map signal relationships, and cost controls to manage telemetry pipelines efficiently. The end goal is moving operators from reactive alert-chasing to proactive, insight-driven operations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
