AI-native observability for humans and agents

See Through the Storm.
Guide Every Decision.

AI-native observability for humans and autonomous agents — connecting AI flows, applications, business services, infrastructure, networks and digital experiences into one operational picture.

Connect monitoring, investigation, and controlled recovery in one operational platform.

Turn Telemetry Into Direction.

As the beam sweeps, noise organizes. Dependencies become visible. Topology forms. Signals correlate into one clear operational map.

Humans and AI Agents
Share One World.

Humans and AI agents operate in the same increasingly complex digital world. Observatory gives both of them the visibility, context and operational intelligence needed to navigate it.

AFPM — AI Flow & Performance Monitoring

See How AI Actually Operates.

Follow AI execution from the first prompt through models, agents, tools, MCP servers, retrieval systems, applications and infrastructure.

Observatory AFPM live trace — an AI agent's execution path through model routing, a policy DENY decision and a blocked external route to Anthropic, with risk score, token cost and execution time

AI Assistant → Agent → MCP → Inventory API → PostgreSQL → connection pool
ROOT CAUSE: DATABASE CONNECTION POOL EXHAUSTION

When an AI flow fails. AFPM shows where it broke: the model endpoint, the tool call or the step that stalled. Recovery for AI flows is being built on the same policy and approval controls as infrastructure recovery. Self-Healing and AI workflows →

Surface to seabed

Visibility at Every Depth.

AI doesn't run in isolation. Observatory sees every layer underneath it — from the people and services at the surface to the network and infrastructure at the ocean floor.

Business services guide recovery too. The same business-service dependencies show which applications and users a recovery action could affect before anything changes. Recovery built around services →

The storm — incident

Don't Count Alerts.
Understand Incidents.

One system fails. The failure propagates — Database → API → Payment → Checkout → AI Assistant → Customer Experience. Waves become stronger. Telemetry becomes noisy.

Ask the lighthouse
Why is checkout slow?
Checkout latency increased at 14:32. Primary cause: PostgreSQL connection pool exhaustion. Contributing factor: AI reconciliation agent concurrency increased from 4 to 32. Affected: Checkout, Payments, Customer Portal, AI Assistant.

Self-Healing & Autonomous Recovery

From detected problems to verified recovery.

Observatory connects operational signals, service dependencies, and approved recovery workflows to help teams restore service with clear control over every action. Follow the investigation, understand the proposed response, and verify that the service is working again.

  1. DETECTA dependency fault is picked up by monitoring.
  2. DIAGNOSEThe affected path is traced and investigated.
  3. AUTHORIZERecovery policy decides what may run, and who approves.
  4. RECOVERThe approved workflow runs.
  5. VERIFYChecks confirm the service works again.

  2. The lighthouse beam reveals the affected service path.
  3. An investigation card links the evidence.
  4. A recovery-policy checkpoint appears: approval is required.
  5. The approved action progresses.
  6. Verification checks complete.
  7. The service returns to a stable state.

ILLUSTRATIVE RECOVERY WORKFLOW · CONCEPTUAL, NOT A PRODUCT RECORDING

Impact

Understand the impact

Connect infrastructure symptoms to the applications and business services that depend on them.

Control

Respond with control

Apply recovery policies, approved workflows, and human approval where required.

Verification

Verify the outcome

Check service health and user-facing functionality after recovery actions.

Knowledge

Reuse validated knowledge

Turn reviewed recovery experience into reusable workflows for recurring incidents.

One lighthouse

One Lighthouse.
Humans and Agents.

Observatory provides humans with understandable operational intelligence and agents with structured context they can safely use to investigate and act.

HUMAN OPERATOR

Incident. Root cause. Evidence. Recommended action.

Capabilities are enabled according to deployment and licensing. Observatory does not require Imperium — the two connect when both are deployed.

Nothing here replaces your judgement. Observatory explains and recommends, and it runs only the recovery your policy permits. Destructive actions always wait for a person.
