Database Monitoring Monitors performance and statistics related to memory, caches and connections. API Monitoring Detects anomalies in functionality, user accessibility, traffic flows, and tampering. Real-Time Monitoring - Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring Constantly monitors system to detect anomalies in real time. Security and Compliance Monitoring Enables monitoring of security and compliance standards across cloud infrastructure. Show More ##### ## Administration (4) Activity Monitoring Actively monitor status of work stations either on-premise or remote. Multi-Cloud Management Allows users to track and control cloud spend across cloud services and providers. Automation Efficiently scales resource usage to optimize spend whith increased or decreased resource usage requirements. Auto-Scaling & Resource Optimization Automatically scales resources based on demand and optimizes for performance and cost. Show More ##### ## Analysis (3) Reporting Creates reports outlining resource, underutilization, cost trends, and/or functional overlap. Dashboards and Visualizations Presents information and analytics in a digestible, intuitive, and visually appealing way. Spend Forecasting and Optimization Ability to project spend based on contracts, usage trends, and predicted growth. Show More ##### ## Telemetry Collection & Ingestion - Observability (2) Multi-Telemetry Ingestion Ingests and processes multiple telemetry types, such as logs, metrics, and traces. OpenTelemetry Support Supports ingestion and standardization of observability data via OpenTelemetry protocol. Show More ##### ## Visualization & Dashboards - Observability (3) Service Dependency Mapping Displays relationships between services to visualize system dependencies. Unified Dashboard Provides a consolidated view of system-wide telemetry in a single dashboard. Trace Visualization Allows users to explore and visualize distributed traces and span relationships. Show More ##### ## Correlation & Root Cause Analysis - Observability (3) Cross-Telemetry Correlation Correlates logs, metrics, and traces to surface performance patterns and root causes. Root Cause Detection Identifies likely causes of issues using system insights and correlation logic. Intelligent Alerting Automatically alerts users to anomalies or critical events using contextual data. Show More ##### ## Scalability & Ecosystem Integration - Observability (2) Kubernetes Monitoring Provides observability into containerized workloads and Kubernetes clusters. Hybrid/Multi-Cloud Support Enables observability across public cloud, private cloud, and on-prem environments. Show More ##### ## AI Features - Observability (3) Predictive Insights Forecasts future system issues based on historical performance trends. AI-Generated Incident Summaries Summarizes incident root causes and potential fixes using generative AI. AI Anomaly Detection Uses machine learning to detect unusual behavior across telemetry data.
