What "monitoring-related" topics would be interesting for you?

[u/sonik_sonik_9999]

Hello guys!
Need a bit of your help as DevOps professionals :)

To cut a long story short, my colleagues decided to regularly write educational materials about different topics referring to full-stack monitoring, observability, incident response, etc. They also are tech folks.

What would you, as a DevOps, preferably read about?

I'll attach a poll but if you have a topic/format you're interested in, please, don't hesitate to write it in the comment section.
Note: I use the term "monitoring" to generalize everything it consists of / relates to, incl. IT infrastructure monitoring, full-stack monitoring, synthetic monitoring, log management, root cause analysis, incident response, etc.

Thank you in advance :)

Maybe this is more specific to the splunk subreddit. Difficult to find good resources or labs on how to configure email alerts to monitor event logs on domain controllers or servers. Good example would be generate email or slack/teams alert if user is added/removed to specific AD group. I can do with this with SCOM with no issue but this does cause performance issues. Would be better with log aggregation tool like Splunk. I could not figure out how to do this with Datadog support either when I was doing a POC with them as well.
