Davis analyzes dependency graphs and event streams to determine which component is the true root cause of a problem, not just where symptoms appear.
The engine learns normal performance and error patterns for each service and infrastructure element, detecting anomalies without manual threshold tuning.
Problems are presented with detailed impact and dependency context, making it clear which services, hosts, or users are affected.
Davis can emit events or trigger external workflows when specific problem patterns arise, enabling automated remediation for well-understood issues.
Supports dynamic cloud-native stacks as well as traditional enterprise applications, bridging monitoring across hybrid environments.
Davis pinpoints which microservice and dependency chain is responsible for an outage, reducing time spent hunting through logs and dashboards.
Teams use Davis insights to understand recurring patterns behind SLO breaches and prioritize engineering work to address root causes.
Well-understood issues—such as stuck processes or unhealthy nodes—are automatically mitigated via runbooks triggered by Davis problem events.

Datadog Watchdog is part of the AIOps category, where AI is applied to monitoring, logging, and incident management. It helps teams detect anomalies, summarize incidents, correlate signals, and suggest next steps or runbooks. SRE and operations teams still own remediation, but AI can reduce alert fatigue and investigation time.
Datadog Watchdog is an AI-powered layer within the Datadog observability platform that automatically detects anomalies, correlates signals, and surfaces potential issues across metrics, traces, and logs. Rather than relying solely on static thresholds, Watchdog learns normal behavior for services and infrastructure, flagging deviations like latency spikes, error bursts, or resource anomalies. Its AIOps capabilities reduce alert noise, group related events, and propose likely root causes, helping on-call engineers respond faster. Combined with Datadog’s dashboards, SLOs, and incident management workflows, Watchdog turns raw telemetry from CI/CD and production systems into prioritized, contextual insights that support modern DevOps and SRE practices at scale.
Harness Continuous Delivery is a modern CD platform that automates deployments, rollbacks, and verification across Kubernetes, VMs, and serverless environments. Its AI layer, AIDA, analyzes logs, metrics, and deployment history to reduce noise, flag anomalies, and recommend safe decisions. Instead of handcrafting complex scripts, teams use pipelines and deployment templates that integrate with their existing CI tools, observability stacks, and clouds. Harness can automatically roll back failed releases based on health checks and SLOs, generate change impact reports, and surface insights into lead time and failure rates. For DevOps teams, it serves as an opinionated, AI-assisted delivery hub that accelerates releases without sacrificing reliability or governance.
