Guance was initiated in 2018 and officially released on April 28, 2022, after five years of meticulous development by a professional team. Since its release, we have maintained a regular update cycle, actively collecting user feedback, continuously improving the product's technology stack coverage, user experience, and platform stability. We provide AI-powered intelligent monitoring cloud services for enterprises, helping them quickly achieve system observability and supporting stable business growth.
Core Features¶
Infrastructure monitoring for hosts, cloud environments, containers, processes, and networks, covering IoT, multi-cloud environments, virtualization, microservices, and other IT facilities. Supports custom infrastructure objects, allowing you to observe any infrastructure.
Comprehensive performance insights, covering end-to-end service monitoring. Built-in flame graphs and profiling tools allow developers to intuitively see slow queries and resource hotspots, helping to optimize business experiences.
Real User Monitoring collects data on real user interactions with web applications, identifying the real needs behind each request and optimizing product performance.
Guance supports Web, mobile (Android & iOS), and Mini Program monitoring types.
All logs are unified on the Guance platform, enabling cross-system, one-stop search and quick location. Whether it's a single issue or a system-wide anomaly, combined with contextual investigation, problems can be quickly discovered and resolved.
By integrating CSPM and SIEM capabilities, we build a "assets ➛ configuration ➛ behavior" integrated security monitoring system for you.
LLM Monitoring associates LLM requests with the entire application chain, tracking the complete process of each conversation and accurately measuring the token consumption of each generation task.
Guance supports custom monitor detection rules and includes 700+ out-of-the-box monitor templates. By configuring detection rules, trigger conditions, and event notifications, you can receive alerts in a timely manner, quickly identifying and resolving issues.
The Event Center integrates event data from monitors, intelligent monitoring, security monitoring, SLO, and other sources. Through a centralized event explorer, you can quickly locate anomalies, track system changes, and improve fault response efficiency.
Guance includes 20+ standardized visualization charts and 200+ data monitoring view templates, allowing you to quickly build dashboards based on business needs.
The Obsy AI AI Agent is built on advanced AI models, leveraging natural language processing and machine learning technologies to efficiently process data and quickly locate and resolve issues.
Key Technologies¶
1. Time-series Database and Columnar Data Storage Technology
Time-series databases and columnar databases offer high compression ratios and superior write and query performance. They can handle massive, high-frequency data writes while enabling flexible multi-dimensional queries and correlation analysis on the read side.
2. Compatibility with Multiple Text Analysis Engines
Supports text analysis engine databases like OpenSearch and Elasticsearch, enabling unified storage of logs, objects, traces, and events. Data is written efficiently and consistently via the Line Protocol through the unified Dataway interface, and queries are performed using the self-developed Debug Query Language (DQL).
The supported real-time analytical data warehouse SelectDB text analysis engine significantly improves data read/write performance and reduces overall storage costs.
The latest self-developed GuanceDB 3.0 technology runs fully cloud-native on any commercial object storage, designed for handling massive data writes and a fully read-write separated flexible architecture.
3. Low-Intrusion Sidecar Data Collection Technology
Data collection is the initial step in big data platform analysis. Most of Guance's data collectors are based on sidecar technology, enabling data collection with minimal impact on business systems.
4. Data Consistency and System High Reliability
From data collection to data cleansing to data processing, Guance ensures data consistency through message queue technology and multiple retry mechanisms, compensating for the weaknesses of time-series and columnar databases.
5. Cloud-Native
The entire platform is built on cloud-native products, ensuring complete functionality and reliable technical architecture while achieving cost-effectiveness.
