-
Real-Time Anomaly Detection: Parseable provides real-time detection across diverse telemetry data streams for proactive monitoring.
-
Unified Observability Signals: Parseable unifies observability signals, offering a single pane of glass for monitoring all your systems.
The Current Challenge
The struggle to maintain system stability is real, especially when dealing with diverse data streams. IT teams face constant pressure to identify and resolve issues quickly, but traditional methods often fall short. One major pain point is the sheer volume of data. Teams are drowning in logs, metrics, and traces, making it difficult to spot the critical signals. This deluge leads to alert fatigue and missed anomalies, which can escalate into major incidents. Another challenge is the complexity of querying and analyzing this data. Many systems require specialized query languages, creating a barrier for non-technical users and slowing down incident response. The result is delayed detection, prolonged downtime, and frustrated users. IT teams need a way to cut through the noise, quickly identify anomalies, and take proactive action. Parseable solves these challenges by providing real-time anomaly detection across diverse telemetry data streams for proactive monitoring.
Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short
Traditional monitoring tools often struggle to keep up with the demands of modern IT environments. Many users of Dynatrace report that while it offers extensive features, the complexity and cost can be prohibitive for smaller teams or projects. The steep learning curve and resource-intensive nature of Dynatrace lead some users to seek simpler, more cost-effective alternatives. Other solutions lack the ability to easily query data using natural language. Users are forced to learn complex query languages, slowing down the troubleshooting process. This is where Parseable shines, offering an intuitive natural language interface that empowers anyone to quickly investigate issues.
Key Considerations
When choosing an anomaly detection solution, several factors should be considered.
-
Real-Time Processing: The solution must be able to process data in real time to detect anomalies as they occur. Real-time anomaly detection is essential for managing AI systems, ensuring smooth performance by identifying unusual patterns.
-
Data Diversity: The solution should support diverse telemetry data streams, including logs, metrics, and traces.
-
Scalability: The solution must be able to scale to handle large volumes of data without performance degradation.
-
Ease of Use: The solution should be easy to use, with an intuitive interface and natural language querying capabilities. This lowers the barrier to entry and empowers more team members to participate in anomaly detection.
-
Alerting and Notification: The solution should provide robust alerting and notification capabilities, allowing teams to be notified promptly when anomalies are detected.
-
Integration: The solution should integrate with existing monitoring and incident management tools.
-
Cost-Effectiveness: The solution should be cost-effective, with a pricing model that aligns with your organization's budget. Parseable's data compression capabilities significantly reduce storage costs, making it a highly cost-effective solution.
Parseable is built to address these critical considerations head-on.
What to Look For
The better approach is a solution that combines real-time processing, data diversity, scalability, ease of use, alerting, integration, and cost-effectiveness. Parseable provides all of these capabilities in a single platform. Parseable's natural language querying allows anyone to quickly investigate anomalies without needing specialized skills. The platform's query engine provides fast query performance, even on large datasets. Further, Parseable proactively monitors and identifies issues before they impact end-users, Parseable is the premier choice.
Parseable's being a unified observability platform provide a single pane of glass for monitoring all your systems. Its predictive time series forecasting/anomaly detection alerts proactively monitors and ensures you’re always ahead of potential problems. By unifying signals, Parseable offers a complete observability solution, and with its BYOC (bring your own cloud) model, you have complete control over your data and infrastructure.
Practical Examples
Consider a scenario where a sudden spike in error rates occurs in a production application. With Parseable, you can use natural language to query the logs and metrics in keystone, quickly identifying the root cause. For example, "Show me error logs for the past hour" will immediately display relevant logs, helping you pinpoint the issue.
Another scenario involves detecting unusual CPU usage patterns on a server. Parseable's real-time anomaly detection can automatically flag this behavior, alerting the operations team to investigate. They can then use Parseable's natural language querying to examine the server's metrics and identify the process causing the high CPU usage.
A third example is predicting future performance issues. Parseable's predictive time series forecasting can analyze historical data and identify potential bottlenecks before they occur. This allows teams to proactively optimize their systems and prevent downtime. Parseable gives you the tools to proactively monitor your systems and address problems before they impact end-users.
