RootTrace

RootTrace — Know why production broke, in minutes. Without handing AI the keys. Your alerts say something's down. RootTrace tells you the story: what broke, what changed, whether you've seen it before, and what to check next. A read-only collector watches your infrastructure — hosts, databases, Kubernetes, Docker, network, CPU, memory, custom checks. Drop-in APM wrappers for Python, Java, and Node.js trace requests across services, surface slow endpoints and failing dependencies, and capture every exception — two lines to install, zero dependencies. Then the AI does the part you dread: it groups the noise into one issue per service, recalls similar past incidents, drafts the summary, and lays out evidence-backed next checks. Every recommendation comes with evidence and confidence — and it never runs a command. No autonomous agent touching production. You stay in control. APM is included on every plan — no per-host APM meter, no per-GB span bills. Flat, predictable pricing. Built for teams that guard production access. Read-only by design, scoped and revocable tokens, data redacted on-host before it's sent, every workspace isolated, every action logged. What you get: - Live issue dashboard — failures grouped, noise removed, evidence attached - APM: distributed tracing, transaction breakdowns, error tracking, dependency maps, Kubernetes deployment views - Similar-incident search across your team's full history - AI summaries, next checks, and postmortem drafts - PagerDuty alerts on new errors and unhealthy latency - Collector onboarding for EC2, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible — live in minutes - RBAC, audit trail, scoped tokens; run in our cloud or fully self-host Learn more about RootTrace: www.roottrace.io Terms: https://roottrace.io/terms/ Privacy: https://roottrace.io/privacy/
