The Enterprise
OpenTelemetry Experts

We help enterprises design, build, and manage vendor-neutral observability — cutting costs, eliminating blind spots, and ending lock-in.

Sound Familiar?

Most enterprises hit the same walls when scaling observability. You're not alone.

Spiraling Costs

Your observability bill grows faster than your infrastructure. Telemetry volume doubles, budgets don't.

Blind Spots at Scale

As your systems grow, telemetry gaps widen. Critical incidents go undetected until customers notice.

Vendor Lock-In

Proprietary agents and formats trap you. Switching vendors means ripping out infrastructure.

Cutting Observability Costs by 40% for a Fortune 100 Retailer

A Fortune 100 retailer's observability costs were growing 3x faster than their infrastructure. Multiple vendor agents created duplicate telemetry, and engineering teams had no visibility into what was driving the bill.

  • 40% reduction in annual observability spend
  • Consolidated from 4 vendor agents to 1 OTEL pipeline
  • Real-time cost attribution per team and service
  • Zero gaps in critical alerting coverage

Was That Query Always This Slow? The Query-History Gap in MySQL, SQL Server, and DB2

Was That Query Always This Slow? The Query-History Gap in MySQL, SQL Server, and DB2

Your database can tell you which queries are slow right now. It usually can't tell you which ones got slower, because the per-query numbers it keeps are a running total with no time axis: reset on restart, or evicted as a cache fills. Here's the query-history gap in MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and DB2, why SQL Server is the exception that proves the point, and why the trend belongs in the Oracle Enterprise Manager repository, including the unglamorous work of making the subtraction honest.

Logs Without the Regret, Part 2: Building the Alloy and Loki Pipeline

Logs Without the Regret, Part 2: Building the Alloy and Loki Pipeline

Part 1 made the case that log cost is set at write time by what you index. This is the hands-on half. A production-grade Alloy and Loki pipeline comes down to four decisions: what gets in, what gets rewritten, what gets indexed, and what happens when the backend is unavailable. Here's the three-component minimum that proves the transport works, the OTTL processors that filter and redact in flight, how to set label policy server-side in otlp_config, and the four signals worth alerting on once it is live.

Least-Privilege by Design: One Read-Only, TLS-First Way to Monitor DB2, SQL Server, and MySQL

Least-Privilege by Design: One Read-Only, TLS-First Way to Monitor DB2, SQL Server, and MySQL

Every database monitoring tool eventually meets the security team, and the answer is usually a broad-privilege account plus an agent installed on the database host. That's a design choice, not a law of nature. Here's the posture shared by all three Integration Plumbers plug-ins for Oracle Enterprise Manager: one read-only grant per engine, an encrypted connection that won't quietly downgrade, your choice of where collection runs, and why that same design reaches a managed cloud database without a rebuild.
