In a complex, event-driven architecture, relying on fragmented monitoring tools creates operational blind spots. When traditional APM tools lack deep insight into your event brokers, critical telemetry gets siloed. You’re left guessing if a message lag stems from a slow consumer or a congested queue. For enterprise IT where uptime is everything, debugging a disjointed event fabric can quickly turn a minor blip into a prolonged, costly outage.

Solace Insights fixes this by providing complete, full-platform observability that no competitor can match. By consolidating logs and metrics across your entire environment and adding traces for the events flowing over the mesh, you get real-time visibility into every single event flow. Instead of forcing your engineers to manually piece together disparate server logs during an incident, Solace channels actionable telemetry directly to where your teams already work.

Example Use Cases

  • Hybrid Cloud Environments (Self-Managed Broker Insights) By expanding support to self-managed event brokers alongside our cloud services, Solace bridges the operational gap for hybrid deployments. Your infrastructure teams can now monitor software brokers running on-prem or in Kubernetes right alongside cloud instances, ensuring uniform health checks and capacity planning across your entire global event mesh.
  • Enterprise IT Ops (3rd-Party APM Integration) Solace Insights now natively exports telemetry to enterprise APM platforms like Datadog, Dynatrace, or New Relic. This lets you stream deep, broker-level metrics directly into your existing operations centers, eliminating tool fatigue and letting teams correlate broker performance with application traces in a single view.
