Ep 32: There’s an app for that, Sumo Logic edition

On this episode of Masters of Data, we sit down with Beth Glowacki to explore Sumo Logic’s app catalog and how it actually works in practice. Apps serve as your launch pad: pre-built integrations, dashboards, and automated alerts for various data sources right out of the box. We dig into how apps stack together for comprehensive monitoring, like pairing CloudTrail apps for both operational health and security views. Beth breaks down the importance of metadata scoping and shows how customers build custom dashboards by combining panels into a single pane of glass. We also cover AI capabilities through Mobot for natural language queries and NextGen apps that auto-update when vendor log formats change. From Kubernetes monitoring to e-commerce metrics, the app catalog bridges technical operations and business decisions.
