What is Guardian?

Guardian is Metoro’s AI assistant that automatically monitors your systems, detects issues, investigates root causes, and can even create fixes. Guardian helps you stay ahead of problems without requiring constant manual monitoring.

​
Key Features

Deployment Verification

Automatically verify deployments for breaking changes, checking 5XX rates, latency, error logs, and resource consumption.

Anomaly Detection

Automatically detect anomalies like error rate spikes without configuring explicit thresholds.

AI Runbooks

Define investigation tasks for Guardian to execute when alerts fire, gathering relevant logs, traces, and metrics.

Inbox

A low-noise feed of actionable items that need your attention, with suggested fixes you can apply.

Code Fixes

When connected to GitHub, Guardian can create pull requests with code changes to resolve issues.

Flexible Notifications

Route notifications to the right channels based on service, environment, and severity.

Custom Credentials

Use your own AWS Bedrock credentials for complete control over AI processing and billing.

​
How Guardian Works

Guardian operates through several interconnected features:

​
Deployment Monitoring & Verification

Metoro automatically tracks all releases across your Kubernetes clusters. When you deploy a new image tag:
  1. Metoro creates a new_deployment event for the service
  2. Guardian verifies the deployment for breaking changes
  3. If issues are found, Guardian alerts you with details

​
Anomaly Detection & Autonomous Investigation

Guardian continuously monitors your systems for anomalous behavior:
  1. Detects anomalies like error rate spikes automatically
  2. Runs an investigation to determine if it’s a real issue
  3. Identifies the root cause using logs, traces, and metrics
  4. Posts to Slack with findings if an issue is confirmed

​
AI Runbooks

When you configure alerts, you can attach runbooks for Guardian to execute:
  1. Alert fires based on your configured thresholds
  2. Guardian executes the runbook you’ve defined
  3. Creates an investigation document with all gathered data
  4. Links the investigation from the alert notification

​
Inbox

The Inbox is your centralized location for items that need attention:
  1. Guardian surfaces significant bugs and issues
  2. Items include suggested fixes where possible
  3. Apply fixes with one click (creates a PR for review)
  4. Route issue notifications to the right teams
