Your Personalized Tour
Built around: your top priority
Tours below are prioritized based on your answers.
Platform Overview
Start Here
Apica helps enterprises be Agentic-Ready by giving them the telemetry infrastructure, metrics foundation, and data readiness AI agents demand.
-
01
Ascent in 5 Minutes
A 5-minute tour of the core data journey: log ingestion, Flow, Fleet, Observe, and alerting.
Collection Plane
Collect Telemetry with Fleet
Fleet is the Collection Plane. Everything starts here.
-
01
Streamlining Telemetry with Apica's Fleet Management Solution
Centrally manage every telemetry agent across hybrid environments. No brittle config sprawl, no gaps in coverage.
Control Plane
Control Telemetry with Flow
Flow is the Control Plane: the place where cost and compliance decisions happen before ingestion.
-
01
Flow: Apica's Telemetry Control Plane
Shape, govern, and route telemetry before it hits expensive platforms, with 100% pipeline control and zero data loss.
-
02
Filter Rule
Label filtering, dropping entire logs, and suppressing events.
-
03
Rewrite Rule
-
04
Code Rule
Convert dates and add new fields based on criteria.
-
05
Designing Your First Cost-Optimized Pipeline and Forwarding to Datadog
Putting it all together: Kubernetes logs come in, the pipeline applies its rules, and the reduced stream forwards to Datadog.
Storage Plane
Store and Optimize Data with Lake
Store everything. Query instantly. Replay on demand.
-
01
Lake: Apica's Storage Plane
Retain full-fidelity telemetry at low cost, query on demand, and replay any time window, without paying platform indexing fees.
Metrics Plane
High-Cardinality Metrics with Forge
Kubernetes, microservices, and agentic AI workloads generate metric cardinality that breaks legacy tools. Forge doesn't.
-
01
Forge: Real-Time Metrics at Any Cardinality
Store and analyze billions of unique metric streams in real time without the performance penalties or cost explosions that come with traditional metrics tools.
-
02
Find the Metric That Matters, Fast
See how Forge Data Explorer helps you investigate the metrics you care about and spot issues before they escalate.
Intelligence Plane
Explore, Visualize, and Alert with Observe
AI-driven correlation across logs, metrics, and traces.
-
01
Observe: The Intelligence Plane
Query and correlate logs, metrics, and traces in one place, with AI-powered correlation and out-of-the-box LLM monitoring dashboards built in.
-
02
Topology View and Time Travel
Identify which services are impacted and when an issue began, using color-coded topology nodes and historical playback.
-
03
Attribute-Based Trace Search
Narrow trace data by service, endpoint, or user to pinpoint exactly where things broke.
-
04
Searching Logs and Advanced Query
Build complex filters, find the exact log events you care about, and save searches to standardize ops team workflows.
-
05
Importing Pre-defined Dashboards
Skip setup. Import standard dashboards and have meaningful observability views in minutes.
-
06
Creating Dashboards, Widgets, and Custom Alerts
Build dashboards that match how your team actually works. Set targeted alerts that catch real incidents without flooding on-call queues.
-
07
Time-Series Metrics Anomaly Detection
Surface out-of-pattern behavior automatically, then tune sensitivity to match your noise tolerance.
Safety Net
Synthetic Monitoring and Digital Experience with Vanguard
Vanguard is the Safety Net for both human user journeys and agentic workflows.
-
01
Vanguard Overview: Synthetic Checks for Real User and Agent Workflows
Monitor user journeys and agentic workflows from global locations. Spot degradation before users or agents hit it.
-
02
Agentic Check
A walkthrough of Vanguard's agentic workflow checks.
-
03
Linking Vanguard Failures to Backend Telemetry in Observe
See how a failing synthetic step leads directly into logs, metrics, and traces, closing the loop between user-facing symptoms and backend causes.
Built on Observe
AI-Assisted Analysis and LLM Observability
Ensure performance, reliability, and compliance for AI applications.
-
01
Enhancing Security Log Readability with Gen-AI
Turn noisy security logs into natural-language explanations and next-step suggestions. Less time decoding, more time fixing.
-
02
AI-Powered Search with Venn
Ask plain-language questions on top of your telemetry and get answers. Especially useful for engineers new to a service or incident.
-
03
Using Gen-AI for Incident Postmortems
Walk through summarizing logs, identifying key events, and understanding your data.
-
04
Closing the AI Observability Gap: LLM Observability
Get full visibility into token usage, inference latency, multi-step agent workflows, and prompt/response capture, so you catch hallucinations, bias, and privacy violations before customers do.
Platform
Admin, SSO, and Governance
Configure your Apica Ascent environment to match your team's preferences, from SAML authentication to role-based access and audit trails.
-
01
Configuring SAML
Enforce SSO and centralized identity.
-
02
Configuring RBAC
-
03
Audit Log
See how Apica's Audit Trail turns user activity into clear, searchable answers.
