20 Years of OSMC: What's Happening in Nuremberg in November

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents 20 Years of OSMC: What's Happening in Nuremberg in November.

When monitoring professionals from the German-speaking world get together, many look to Nuremberg first. From November 17 to 19, the Open Source Monitoring Conference (OSMC) opens its doors there for the 20th time — and that is more than just a round number on the poster.

What has defined OSMC over two decades? Little marketing stage, plenty of workshop atmosphere. Talks come from admin practice, not from the glossary — and anyone working with Nagios, Icinga, Prometheus, or the ELK Stack will find peer-level conversations here. Anyone looking to dive deeper should especially not underestimate the hallway track.

2025/2026 Program: AI, Open-Source Stacks, and Observability

AI in monitoring, the future of established open-source stacks, observability in everyday operations.

Those are the three axes along which the organizers have built this year's program. Specifically: AI in monitoring — meaning anomaly detection, AIOps, and an honest look at what models actually deliver in alerting. Plus the question of how proven stacks evolve when observability no longer just bundles metrics but also traces and logs. And finally, the look into day-to-day operations — to the place where every setup decides whether a nighttime alert is productive or nonsense.

from November 17 to 19 at the Open Source Monitoring Conference (OSMC) in Nuremberg.

Who Is the Trip to Nuremberg Worth It For?

You work as an SRE, sysadmin, or in a platform team — from mid-sized companies to corporations? You're responsible for an observability landscape that isn't in a textbook but in service? Then you get three days here where concrete setups, pitfalls, and migrations are on the table — instead of big roadmap promises.

What you should bring above all is curiosity about other setups. Anyone who has ever migrated an Icinga cluster knows the stories that arise between two workshops. For younger colleagues, OSMC is also a quick start, because a lot of knowledge is freely shared here that is only available in expensive training courses elsewhere.
