Are you paying for metrics you never actually use? And how many of your alerting rules are silently broken?

As someone who's been working with monitoring systems, I was eager to learn how to make monitoring more efficient and cost-effective. Introducing the Speaker and the Topic At OSMC 2025, Roman Khavronenko from VictoriaMetrics presented his talk focused on a critical but often overlooked...

While Alvar who wrote the recap of yesterday was at the OSMC for the first time, you know me probably from one off the earlier editions and so do many attendees. This is the reason I really enjoyed most seeing familiar faces and having a chat with people. And this does not mean I did not enjoy giving a workshop on Tuesday or the talks yesterday as everything at OSMC is high quality in my opinion and I can compare it with many different conferences I attended over the years. The Morning Easy...
Although I have been an Icinga developer for over two years now, this was my very first OSMC. I went to meet some of our community members and see what others are doing in the monitoring domain. Getting new impressions always motivates me and helps me avoid getting stuck in groupthink. Thus, I tried to visit a variety of talks, both in my field and on topics with which I am not familiar. However, I usually try to avoid the latest hype. Without further ado, let's get started! The Morning...

The structured, high-stakes world of firefighting intrigued me the moment I saw Daniil Doronkin’s talk in the OSMC 2024 program. As someone who’s been involved in incident management on-call rotations and postmortem reviews, I was curious how the world of emergency response could inform how we handle IT incidents. Doronkin’s talk offered more than just an interesting metaphor - it provided a practical framework that I’ve since reflected on deeply. Introducing the Speaker and the Topic At OSMC...
