## What keeps you up at night?

Role / WorriesWhat you get with Knowledge Graph

**SRE, On-call Engineer**

- Getting paged in early morning with no idea what’s related
- Spending the first 30 minutes of every incident just mapping what’s affected
- Never being sure you’ve found the real root cause versus a downstream symptom

<!--THE END-->

- A unified timeline of correlated metrics, logs, traces, and insights across all affected components, no manual correlation required
- Causality traversal that surfaces the origin of the issue, not just related symptoms
- Grafana Assistant to suggest root cause hypotheses and next steps

**Platform, Infrastructure Engineer**

- No single view of how services, infrastructure, and databases connect to each other
- Constantly maintaining topology documentation that goes stale the moment something deploys

<!--THE END-->

- An entity map that rebuilds automatically from your live telemetry, always current, never stale
- Automatic discovery of services, hosts, pods, and databases and how they relate
- Insights that surface saturation, failures, and errors without you writing a single alert rule

**Senior Engineer**

- Being the only person who knows the service topology
- Getting escalated to on every major incident because no one else knows where to start

<!--THE END-->

- Topology encoded automatically so any engineer can navigate the system without tribal knowledge
- Entity catalog with health status and insights visible to the whole team
- Guided investigation that shifts troubleshooting from “who do we page?” to “here’s what changed and why”

**Engineering Manager, VP Engineering**

- Watching MTTR stay flat quarter after quarter
- Best engineers stuck in war rooms instead of building
- Not knowing which tools in your observability stack are actually being used

<!--THE END-->

- A single intelligence layer across Application Observability, Kubernetes Monitoring, DB Observability, and Frontend Observability, no additional tooling to manage
- Incident response that scales with headcount, not just expertise
- Activates on top of data you’re already sending, with minimal incremental cost
