Intelligence · Root-cause Investigation

What changed before this?

The question every database incident starts with. SchemaPulse can answer it because it holds metrics, queries, topology events, deployments and backup history on the same timeline.

How investigation works

One timeline across every source

A schema deployment, an election, a metric inflection and an alert are the same kind of object for investigation purposes: something that happened at a time.

Candidate causes, ranked and separated

Two things that changed before an incident are not equally likely to have caused it. Investigation states which the evidence supports and which it does not.

Correlation is labelled as correlation

Where the data supports association but not cause, it says so. Overstating certainty about a production database is worse than admitting the limit.
