# Polylane for observability

> AI observability: agents read your metrics, logs, and traces, cut alert noise, and close instrumentation gaps with code.

Your telemetry already knows what's wrong. Polylane actually reads it. Not another dashboard: agents read the same series your dashboards chart, judge what they see, and fix the coverage gaps they find.

- Every metric, log, and trace series read on a cadence
- Monitoring questions derived from your code, kept honest against real data
- Coverage gaps closed with code

## How it plays out

### It watches so you don't stare. Your metrics, logs, and traces, read around the clock: judged, not just stored.

No thresholds to tune: every check knows which direction is worse, so an improvement never raises an issue. The default verdict is no issue: when Polylane speaks up, it means it.

### It asks the questions your code can answer. Monitoring built from the log lines, spans, and metrics your code declares.

Polylane reads the connected repo, finds the signals your team explicitly cared about, and turns them into monitoring questions: every candidate runs against a day of real data before it's kept. A query that returns nothing all day survives if the code provably emits it: quiet is its healthy state.

### Gaps get closed with code. Polylane writes the missing instrumentation for you.

Polylane finds the routes that can't produce one context-rich event per request and writes the fix itself, mirroring your existing setup: no new dependencies, no vendor rewrite.

## How Polylane works

- **It learns your system first.** The context graph maps every resource and dependency across your clouds, repos, and observability providers. Agents reason over real topology, not guesses.
- **Detection without thresholds.** Built-in checks for every provider, plus checks generated from your own saved queries and dashboards. A statistical pass and an agent decide together, and an improvement never raises an issue.
- **Investigations that show receipts.** Every claim links back to the query, log line, or change record behind it. A verdict without evidence falls back to inconclusive.
- **Writes are earned, never assumed.** Accounts connect read-only. Rollbacks are off by default, rate-limited, and on the record. Code changes go through your normal review.
- **It gets sharper every week.** Memories, daily notes, and monitoring queries re-confirmed against real data: July's investigation learns from June's.

## Questions

### Does this replace my observability tooling?

No. Polylane is not a dashboard or a metrics store: it reads the same series your dashboards chart, through Datadog, Honeycomb, Axiom, and Sentry, and does the part they don't: deciding, investigating, and acting.

### What if I don't have an observability provider?

Cloud-native signals carry most of it: Workers analytics on Cloudflare, CloudWatch on AWS, and their equivalents elsewhere. Connect Datadog, Honeycomb, Axiom, or Sentry and those series join the same graph as first-class sources.

### What are key queries?

Monitoring questions with a query behind each one, generated from your telemetry and your connected code, and executed against a day of real data before they're kept. Questions the account can't answer yet are kept deliberately, as telemetry gaps worth closing.

### Will the instrumentation fixes change my stack?

No. They mirror the setup you already use and add no new dependencies: structured events, error capture, and the attributes an investigation actually needs.

### Does AI monitoring create more alert noise?

The default verdict is no issue. Checks know which direction is worse, improvements never fire, and traffic swings alone are not treated as failures. Silence is a feature: Polylane speaks when something real breaks.
