Collecting rootless Podman logs with Elastic Agent: the CRI parser, user-scoped paths, and the Podman socket

Rootless Podman containers write their logs in CRI format. This Fleet policy reads them and attaches container.* fields, with the match_source_index value that rootless paths need.

Your AI agent needs an alibi: Observability and audit trails for Agent Builder in Elastic

Elastic 9.5 traces every Agent Builder run as OpenTelemetry spans in your own cluster, so tool calls and token counts are queryable with ES|QL. One workflow step adds the approval record, in a data stream the pipeline cannot rewrite.

From recommendation to remediation in 4 stages: human-in-the-loop automation with Elastic Workflows

An approval gate that pauses incident response automation before the action and gives the reviewer enough evidence to decide in seconds. Whatever happens next, approved or declined, lands in one auditable record.

From alert to root cause in 3 minutes: automated root cause analysis with Elastic Agent Builder

Automated root cause analysis only works if the agent compares the incident window against the last healthy one. Skip that step and you get a summariser. The read-only skill, the scoped role and the Elastic Workflow are all here.

From alert to root cause in seconds: AI-powered observability with Elastic Agent Builder and Workflows

Elastic Agent Builder and Workflows replace dashboard hunting: one question surfaces the root cause, correlates metrics across weeks, and calculates business impact; then the workflow files the ticket.
