Problem
Organizations using Prometheus and OpenTelemetry for observability struggle with the high costs associated with storing raw metrics and traces, as well as the manual effort required to analyze this data for root cause analysis. Teams face challenges in correlating signals across time and causality, leading to inefficiencies in identifying and resolving performance issues.
Solution
Asserts provides an observability intelligence platform that automates the analysis of Prometheus and OpenTelemetry data, enabling faster root cause identification and resolution. The platform leverages an Intelligent Workbench with curated PromQL recording and alert rules, along with an intelligent OpenTelemetry Collector, to continuously analyze metrics and traces. Asserts Correlation Intelligence builds an Entity Map from metadata collected from metrics, traces, and eBPF probes, using graph inference to correlate issues and direct attention to critical areas. The Data Distiller component reduces ingestion and long-term storage costs by recording traffic and resource baselines, anomalies, and alerts, while retaining traces of interest based on statistical baselines.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes DevOps and SRE teams using Prometheus and OpenTelemetry who need to reduce observability costs and improve the speed and accuracy of root cause analysis.
