context via Metadata.

• Easy Application Onboarding: Push based approach for events and metrics, enabled by SDK/APIs.
Analyst/SME Enablement - Self Service UI interfaces to configure and visualize actionable Alerts.

Scalable, Efficient and Cost Effective: Cost Efficient Collection, Processing and Storage to handle billions
of events a day. Cost effective and interactive multi-dimensional analysis of time-series data. Aggressive
Data Lifecycle Management.

Challenges

• Data compatibility: Data from different applications are in different formats and need to be
processed and transformed during the ingestion process.

• Customizing the Quality Framework: The client expected extended features that is more than
supported by the open-source tools and frameworks.
