Product Overview | OpsCruise

Cloud Applications Introduce Fundamentally New Observability Challenges

Layers of Abstraction & External Dependencies

Cloud environments have complex and tiered layers of dependencies including application middleware, orchestration (K8s) and infrastructure. Further, many apps have dependencies on 3rd party services which they do not control.

Dynamic, Transient Containers & Serverless

Cloud applications have a highly variable structure given the ephemeral nature of containers and the use of auto-scaling to handle variable workloads. This dynamic nature of the application introduces many blind spots and the need for true real-time visibility.

Lack of SRE/DevOps Engineering Talent

The agility needed in cloud operations has created a need for more software engineering talent. While top web-scale companies have such skills in their engineering ranks, most enterprises require easier to use tools to achieve the same ends.

Existing Monitoring Tools are Completely Inadequate

Kubernetes & Containers are an Afterthought

Current monitoring tools were architected more than a decade ago for a different era before the move to microservices, and distributed applications running on VMs or physical servers. As a result, they lack the concepts of deployment, operations and workflow native to K8s that SREs and DevOps would expect.

Siloed Views Leads to Swivel Chair Operations

Numerous open source and commercial tools are good at aggregating metrics, logs and traces. Unfortunately, developers and admins in Ops/SRE teams are on their own to make sense of the thousands of alerts and dozens of graphs generated by these tools. They lack context of how all the services interrelate and a coherent integration of the signals and the metadata.

Their Approach is Proprietary, Intrusive & Expensive

Today’s APM and infrastructure monitoring tools require proprietary agents to be deployed on every host, development teams to instrument their code and all of your raw telemetry to be stored in their respective clouds. That’s time-consuming, expensive, and potentially negatively impacts your application performance.

OpsCruise is Not Just Another Single Pane of Glass

Start with democratizing your observability data

OpsCruise is not another monitoring tool. Embed, support and integrate increasingly popular open source and cloud monitoring tools with a wide range of telemetry data.

Own your telemetry data to keep under your control, enable reuse and avoid unnecessarily paying your legacy monitoring vendor to store it.‍

Collect once and apply to many business purposes beyond monitoring - including security, capacity planning and business analytics.

Add custom metrics such as transactions or business process information.

Less

COMBINE monitoring and configuration data for contextual visibility

Integrate signals from logs, metrics, flows and traces with important change data from events, configuration and CI/CD platforms in an application graph for powerful context.

Automatically understand how your application components are related to one another, including 3rd party cloud services, and how they are dependent upon Kubernetes and the underlying infrastructure.

See unwanted or unexpected dependencies and cross-region, zone, or datacenter interactions in your environment.

Rewind your topology viewTrack all changes in your stack, no matter whether they are infrastructural, configurations or deployments. See how those changes have impacted your operations over time.

ENJOY Best-In-Class Contextual
Kubernetes Monitoring

Zero-touch configuration and automatic discovery and monitoring of dynamic, ephemeral microservice workloads running inside containers on Kubernetes and associated cloud services.

Without context switching, bring Kubernetes data together with infrastructure data, application data and logs.‍

Leverage Istio or other service meshes to augment operational flow data for complete coverage of all end-to-end services.‍

With a Dynamic Cluster Map understand the health, interdependencies and service level performance within your Kubernetes cluster with pre-built, curated visualization. Hierarchical navigation lets you quickly drill down to node, pod and container levels in seconds. ‍

Gain performance visibility into the workloads like Replicasets, Deployments, and Jobs.‍

Quickly isolate Kubernetes issues such as pod evictions, restarts, service unavailability and resource allocations

Less

Predict Issues Before Customers
Are Impacted

Detect problems using our predictive behaviour modeling that automatically learns your application’s behavior to surface problems across application components, Kubernetes and the supporting infrastructure.

Visualize your application performance using flow tracing powered by eBPF to track SLOs on latency, error rates or traffic changes between service components in real-time without need for code changes or a service mesh. ‍

Automate your anomaly detection using ML without relying on your setting or tuning thresholds or relying on historical and statistical outliers.

Less

Eliminate The War Room

Causation over correlation. Go beyond correlation that only looks for events that occur around the same time or area. Leverage the knowledge of the application structure through topology walks that can pinpoint problem sources far down the dependency chain.

Continuous and Automated. Don’t be left navigating between different screens - experience automated causal analysis which proactively links unexpected behaviour changes within your application estate and ties it causally to SLO breaches.

Identify a broad range of causes including resources, configurations, application changes, or even changes in customer demand and behavior that can result in performance slowdowns.

‍Knowledge-Augmented ML runs robust automated diagnostics using reasoning to infer possible causes for problems across the full stack of the application.

‍Automate incident management to solve problems faster by seamlessly integrating with ITSM and collaboration solutions such as ServiceNow, PagerDuty and Slack, to enable real-time CMDB updates, automatic ticketing and auto-triggering of remediation workflows.

Less

Up & Running In 3 Minutes

Deployed in minutes via Helm and automatically collect metadata on pods, deployments, services and nodes. There is no need to deploy agents on each host, K8s side cars or change code.

‍End to End Automation of many of the steps that require human involvement with traditional monitoring tools, including service map creation, setting thresholds and investigating the source of issues.

‍Integration with tools you use with native integrations with container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, all major cloud providers, and popular monitoring and alerting tools.

Less

Frictionless and Future Safe

DEPLOYMENT EASY

‍‍No agents, No Kubernetes (K8s) sidecars - traditional monitoring systems require proprietary agents to be deployed in every host or sidecars to be included in every container. OpsCruise leverages open source instrumentation.

BORN CLOUD NATIVE

OpsCruise can support VM hosts, it is K8s/container-centric in its design, visualization and workflow.

NO APPLICATION CODE CHANGES

‍‍ OpsCruise harnesses eBPF tracing and other networking techniques to capture L4/L7 data from the network stack and correlate it with namespaces, tags, and environment characteristics.

LEVERAGE YOUR TELEMETRY BEYOND MONITORING

OpsCruise does not need to be the long-term store for your telemetry. Modern enterprises are centrally collecting this data once for multiple use cases beyond monitoring, including security analytics, chargeback, capacity planning and user experience management.

LOW OVERHEAD

OpsCruise operates with negligible resource overhead so you can safely deploy in any production environment without impacting your application. OpsCruise captures flow data statistics without being in the data path.

WORKS WITH YOUR EXISTING TOOLS

OpsCruise integrates with your existing monitoring, ticketing and incident management tools.
