Features

  • 🤖 Coordinator + Specialist agents — coordinator dispatches to SRE / network / DB sub-agents
  • 🚨 Auto-investigate on alert — investigator spawns an RCA worker, writes the cause back to chat
  • 🔍 Root-cause RCA — walks topology, correlates m/l/t, pins the "why" to a source-code line
  • 🔒 Zero inbound ports — edge dials out; no port 22 / 80 / 443 on hosts
  • 💻 Browser SSH — reverse-tunnel shell into any host; no keys, no jumpbox, all audited
  • 🐳 Self-host in one commandinstall.sh brings up the full stack
  • 📊 Built-in observability — Prometheus + Loki + Tempo + Grafana wired; the agent writes the queries
  • 🧠 Bring your own model — Anthropic / OpenAI / GLM / DeepSeek / Gemini / Kimi, hot routing
  • 💬 Two-way IM channels — Slack / Telegram / Larksuite / DingTalk / WeCom, per-channel locale
  • 🛠️ Read-only host tools — bash sandbox + 26+ inspection tools; every call audited
  • ☸️ Kubernetes lifecycle — enroll clusters, inspect workloads and events, manage upgrades, and mirror Kubernetes resources into topology
  • 🌐 Network device management — discover neighbors from Edge hosts, verify with SNMP, poll interfaces, and map host-to-network-device links

Product Tour

Root Cause Analysis

Start from an operator question or alert, collect topology and device context, and produce an evidence-backed analysis with concrete next steps.

Workflow Builder

Wire triggers, agents, tools, conditions, and notifications into repeatable automations that stay editable and reviewable.

Skills Catalog

Show the tools agents can call, with clear descriptions and a visible inventory for operators.

MCP Servers

Register external MCP servers and expose their tools to chat agents and workflows with clear runtime and trust boundaries.

Knowledge Vault

Index runbooks, notes, incident history, and repositories so both humans and agents can search the same operational context.

Artifacts Center

Keep generated pages and reports in one place, with private-by-default sharing and a clean handoff for review.

Monitoring

Inspect fleet health, logs, traces, and alert state from the same workspace where the agent gathers evidence.

Topology Map

Visualize dependencies and blast radius so incidents can be traced through the affected service graph.

Approval and Write Gate

Keep risky actions behind approvals, with a visible policy boundary before anything changes production systems.
