Observability providers LogicMonitor and Honeycomb have each announced new and updated capabilities that tap into the power of artificial intelligence to deliver predictive insights, reduce alert fatigue, and accelerate debugging and code delivery through AI.

LogicMonitor updated its Edwin AI platform with agents that can help enterprise IT teams automate initial remediation steps, reduce alert noise by more than 80%, and cut incidents by up to 67%, according to the company.

“IT leaders are overwhelmed by alert fatigue, rising complexity, and outdated, reactive operations,” said Christina Kosmowski, CEO of LogicMonitor, in a statement. “That model no longer works. With Edwin AI and our new service-level intelligence, we are giving teams the foresight to anticipate issues, prevent disruptions, and keep their businesses running predictably and resiliently. In a world where downtime can cost millions an hour, proactive IT is not just smart, it is a business imperative.”

The Edwin AI agent ingests and analyzes large volumes of data from an enterprise environment and provides simple summaries as well as next steps for incidents. It integrates with IT service management tools and automation systems to take actions such as remediation, the company says.

“Edwin AI is a trusted member of our team, always on and relentlessly reliable,” said Saba Maroun, chief customer services officer at Nexon Asia Pacific, in a statement. “Edwin AI has taken hours off our weekly workload and empowered us to make smarter, faster decisions with confidence.”

LogicMonitor also announced Oracle Infrastructure (OCI) Monitoring to expand its multi-cloud coverage, provide visibility across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, and offer observability capabilities across several cloud platforms. The company also made its LM Uptime and Dynamic Service Insights capabilities generally available to help enterprise IT organizations find issues sooner and maintain service-level agreements as well as correlate the business service impact to technology incidents.

The new Edwin AI, Dynamic Service Insights, and LM Uptime products are available immediately, and the OCI Monitoring capabilities will be available in October. LogicMonitor also debuted a new platform pricing model to provide customers with a more predictable way to scale observability.

Honeycomb Intelligence targets developers

Separately, Honeycomb introduced Honeycomb Intelligence, an AI-native observability suite optimized for developers. The suite includes three new products for engineering workflows: Honeycomb MCP Server, which accelerates debugging and code delivery; Honeycomb Canvas, which enables engineers to ask questions and run investigations using natural language; and Honeycomb Anomaly Detection, which provides an early warning system of service health to prevent issues from impacting end-user performance.

“Existing observability solutions aren’t built for the AI era, where speed, interactivity, and scale are paramount,” said Emily Nakashima, senior vice president of engineering at Honeycomb, in a statement. “Honeycomb Intelligence allows us to redefine what is possible for observability tools. Every engineer can debug like an expert from day one and teams can build truly interactive feedback loops that work 10X faster.”

Honeycomb Intelligence is available today to all Honeycomb customers at no additional cost.
