Welcome to Observability Unplugged — the podcast where data meets empathy. Hosted by two AI-generated personalities, Dean and Erica, this show brings you real-world stories and insights from the world of observability, with a special focus on Dynatrace. Each episode unpacks the top issues teams face when implementing Dynatrace — from OneAgent deployment hiccups to alert fatigue and misconfigured tagging strategies. But more importantly, Dean and Erica break down why these issues occur and offer best practices backed by hands-on research and publicly available documentation. This podcast isn’t about polished vendor pitches. It’s about being real with the problems engineers face — and the creative, practical solutions that make observability actually work. Whether you're in SRE, DevOps, AppDev, or IT leadership, you'll find thoughtful conversations designed to make your day-to-day easier and your stack more observable. Because observability isn't just about systems — it's about the humans who keep them running. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Forecasting with Davis AI in Dynatrace Apps

    Ever wished your IT ops could predict problems before they hit, or adjust resources before things run out? In this episode, we dive deep into how Dynatrace’s Davis AI is changing the game with causal correlation and forecast analysis. We’ll break down how Davis uses real data and context to trace back to root causes—not just guessing, but showing exactly why something went sideways. And it doesn’t stop there. We’ll also explore how Davis AI can see into the future—forecasting demand, resource needs, and system behavior—so your team isn’t always firefighting, but actually preventing issues before they start. Think of it as moving from reactive to truly proactive IT, with smarter capacity planning and less stress all around. We talk real use cases, from keeping Kubernetes disks right-sized to automating capacity upgrades, and how predictive AI is making day-to-day IT smoother for everyone. If you’re looking to get beyond old-school alerts and get actionable, context-rich insights for your IT, DevOps, or SRE team, this one’s for you. Tune in for simple explanations, practical stories, and a look into how you can make AI work for your IT, not the other way around. Let’s get future-ready—together! Hosted on Acast.

    Signals vs. Noise: Mastering Anomaly Detection in Modern Observability

    Anomaly detection is the heartbeat of modern observability—yet most teams are still drowning in alert noise or missing what really matters. In this episode, we break down the evolution from old-school threshold-based monitoring to AI-powered, context-aware anomaly detection with Dynatrace. Join us as we decode how multi-dimensional baselining, adaptive thresholds, and proactive insights are helping teams cut through the noise, reduce alert fatigue, and focus on what truly impacts the business. Whether you’re a seasoned SRE, an application owner, or just observability-curious, you’ll walk away with practical strategies and real-world stories to sharpen your monitoring game.
