OpsClarity's Intelligent Monitoring solution now provides monitoring for the growing and popular suite of open source data processing frameworks.
OpsClarity understands the extremely complex and distributed runtime characteristics of modern data processing frameworks like Apache Kafka, Apache Storm, Apache Spark as well as datastores such as Elasticsearch, Cassandra, MongoDB and others that act as sinks to these data processing frameworks. The solution enables DevOps teams to gain visibility into how these technologies are dependent on each other and troubleshoot performance issues.
“Open source data processing frameworks have rapidly matured and gained enterprise adoption to provide immediate business value, whether it be to identify customer preferences on the fly, detect online fraud or IOT-enable the next electronic device in our homes,” said Amit Sasturkar, Co-Founder and CTO of OpsClarity. “OpsClarity has deep domain understanding of these distributed and complex data processing frameworks and how they work together and has built an intelligent assistant that visualizes the entire environment, detects and correlates failures, and provides guided troubleshooting.”
Enterprises use big-data frameworks to process and understand large-scale data. Technologies like Apache Kafka, Apache Spark and Apache Storm are constantly expanding the scope of what is possible. However, most of these data processing frameworks are themselves a complex collection of several distributed and dynamic components such as producers/consumers and masters/slaves. Monitoring and managing these data processing frameworks and how they are dependent on each other is a non-trivial undertaking and usually requires an extremely experienced operations expert to manually identify the individual metrics, chart and plot them, and then correlate events across them.
“Unresponsive applications, system failures and operational issues adversely impact customer satisfaction, revenue and brand loyalty for virtually any enterprise today,” said Holger Mueller, VP & Principal Analyst at Constellation Research. “The distributed and complex characteristics of modern data-first applications can add to these issues and make it harder than ever to troubleshoot problems. It is good to see vendors addressing this critical area with approaches that include analytics, data science, and proactive automation of key processes to keep up with the changes being driven by DevOps and web-scale architectures.”
OpsClarity leverages an advanced data-science and real-time streaming analytics-based approach to ingest huge amount of metrics and events data from a disparate set of the open source frameworks and intelligently correlate metrics and events across them. OpsClarity synthesizes the various metrics, alerts and signals into an intuitive visual service topology along with overlaid health status. This radically simplifies the effort required by DevOps to set up and troubleshoot these modern data frameworks.
The OpsClarity Intelligent Monitoring solution provides the following for data processing frameworks:
- Auto-Discover: Automatically discover all the components of various data processing frameworks and automatically configure a deep and specific collection of metrics, events, alerts, process and network data. For example, Kafka brokers, Spark masters/slaves, Storm supervisors/workers are auto-discovered and auto-configured.
- Visual Topology: Automatically discover the service connections and dependencies to generate a logical visual topology for these data processing frameworks.
- Health Analysis: Enables immediate understanding of data processing framework component health, prioritized anomalies, and service-level metrics – all within the context of the topology.
- Troubleshooting: a highly-specific and actionable anomaly detection and event correlation capability that allows for rapid root cause analysis.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
