Observability and monitoring platforms

Application monitoring 2 companies

An app sends three kinds of data into one platform: numbers such as response times (metrics), the messages it writes (logs), and the path of each request through its parts (traces). The platform searches them, draws graphs and raises alerts.

Sumo LogicSumo Logic, with engineers in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru, began as cloud search for logs, and grew into a full monitoring platform.Delhi NCR · BengaluruHiring now

New RelicNew Relic is one of the older names in application monitoring. An app sends its metrics, logs and traces into its single platform.Hyderabad · BengaluruHired recently

Infrastructure and network monitoring 6 companies

Other tools watch the servers, storage and network underneath the app, and some follow a business journey, such as a payment, across many systems.

AI that investigates alerts 4 companies

Instead of waking an engineer to read every log, an AI model reads the alerts, logs and recent changes first, and points at the likely cause.

HEAL SoftwareHEAL Software, with engineers in Bengaluru, spots the early warning signs of a failure, to predict it before it happens.

DrDroidDrDroid is a Bengaluru start-up that sells an AI agent which investigates an alert across a company's monitoring tools.

CiroosCiroos, a California start-up with engineers in Bengaluru and Delhi NCR, builds an AI engineer that investigates failures like a person on call would.

GiggsoGiggso, a small Chennai company, describes its work as AI strategy, security and data engineering, rather than a monitoring product of its own.

Monitoring factory machines 1 company

The same idea applies to machines: software watches a stream of readings, such as a turbine's temperature every second, and flags unusual changes.

FalkonryFalkonry, with engineers in Mumbai, spots unusual changes in streams of readings from industrial machines.See alsoPredictive maintenance and industrial IoT platforms

What's changing

AI now takes the first look at an alert.

When something breaks at night, an AI model can now read the alerts, logs and recent changes before the engineer wakes up, and hand over a likely cause and a suggested fix. The engineer checks and decides.
