Starting to wonder if the next gen of o11y products isn’t just: ingests OTLP into ClickHouse and/or DataLake for you and allows you to set alerts (for agents, not people)

Want to debug something? Ask an agent Need a graph of something? Ask an agent Need a dashboard? Ask an agent

You may still need the data to be ingested into somewhere. Ideally in the same format. Then the ask the agent can be just as easy. Both for you and the agent. 😎 But if it's a bunch of disjointed data points. Scattered like dragon balls... No amount of context window will make that better. 🫠

Did it try unindexed full-table scans or invent dialects? Giving an agent analytical SQL usually gets chaotic fast.
