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

Cribl is an enterprise telemetry management and observability data platform designed to help IT, security, and engineering teams control how operational data is collected, processed, stored, and analyzed. The software provides a vendor-neutral architecture for managing logs, metrics, traces, and events generated by applications, infrastructure, networks, and security systems. Cribl Stream serves as a telemetry processing engine that filters unnecessary events, transforms data formats, enriches records, and routes information to different analytics and monitoring destinations. Cribl Edge deploys lightweight agents across Windows, Linux, macOS, and Kubernetes environments to collect endpoint telemetry with centralized fleet management. Cribl Lake provides scalable storage for security and observability data, allowing organizations to retain information and replay historical records when needed. Cribl Search supports federated investigations across cloud storage, data lakes, and existing analytics platforms without requiring all data to be moved into a single repository. AI-powered capabilities assist with schema mapping, data transformation, natural language pipeline configuration, and investigation workflows. The platform also provides sensitive data detection, access controls, data routing policies, and integrations with tools such as Splunk, Elastic, Datadog, and cloud storage services. Cribl helps organizations optimize telemetry costs, modernize security operations, reduce vendor dependence, and improve visibility across hybrid and multicloud environments.
