LF Live Webinar: On-Prem and Cloud: Closing the Correlation Gap

Overview: Jason Harker, product manager at Datadog, presents a Linux Foundation webinar on closing the correlation gap between on-premises and cloud monitoring environments. The session addresses why hybrid infrastructure visibility remains difficult despite abundant telemetry collection.

Key Topics: Survey data showing 94% of teams use three or more monitoring tools; the persistence of on-prem workloads alongside cloud expansion; incident response delays caused by siloed dashboards and tribal knowledge; and Datadog's unified observability approach.

Technical Details: Harker walks through a typical incident timeline where alerts fire across disconnected systems, forcing teams to manually correlate signals. He demonstrates how a single pane of glass consolidates infrastructure metrics, logs, and traces across hybrid estates.

Takeaways: Data collection is no longer the primary bottleneck—correlation is. Organizations should prioritize unified observability platforms and reduce tool sprawl to accelerate mean time to resolution in hybrid environments.
