Description
Improving business outcomes involves making it easier to spot and address high-priority incidents. The WatchTower Platform serves as a comprehensive observability tool that streamlines incident resolution specifically within mainframe environments by effectively integrating and correlating events, data flows, and metrics across various IT silos. It provides a cohesive and intuitive interface for operations teams, allowing them to optimize their workflows. Leveraging established AIOps solutions, WatchTower is adept at detecting potential problems at an early stage, which aids in proactive mitigation. Additionally, it utilizes OpenTelemetry to transmit mainframe data and insights to observability tools, allowing enterprise SREs to pinpoint bottlenecks and improve operational effectiveness. By enhancing alerts with relevant context, WatchTower eliminates the necessity for logging into multiple tools to gather essential information. Its workflows expedite the processes of problem identification, investigation, and incident resolution, while also simplifying the handover and escalation of issues. With such capabilities, WatchTower not only enhances incident management but also empowers teams to proactively maintain high service availability.
Description
Palo Alto Networks Cortex XCOR is an AI-powered observability platform that provides monitoring, troubleshooting, and operational intelligence across applications, infrastructure, and end-user experiences. The platform collects and analyzes logs, metrics, traces, and events to provide visibility into distributed systems and cloud-native environments. Its XCOR Operator provides a conversational interface that enables engineers to query system data, investigate performance issues, configure alerts, and create dashboards using natural language. AI Investigations automatically correlates telemetry signals and system dependencies to identify probable root causes and reduce incident resolution times. Operational Fabric maintains contextual information about system topology, historical incidents, user behavior, and operational knowledge to support AI-driven investigations. Application observability capabilities include automated service discovery, dependency mapping, service-level objective monitoring, and distributed tracing. Real user monitoring and synthetic monitoring help teams evaluate application responsiveness, browser performance, and potential issues affecting digital experiences. The platform's Optimization Engine identifies low-value telemetry and applies filtering, sampling, and aggregation rules to reduce unnecessary data storage costs. Cortex XCOR supports OpenTelemetry-based data collection, scalable infrastructure monitoring, and consumption budgets for controlling observability spending across enterprise environments.
