Data feeds

Capture every signal your L3 engineers need to solve tough ticket fast.

A data feed is a stream of signals the agent collects from an endpoint and analyzes in realtime. Each is curated into named reasons and graded conditions with a stable meaning and a impact-based severity score, so investigations start from signal, not noise. The full event stream is still available for analysis.
