Causely In Action

This section shows how the Causely system surfaces what matters, explains why issues happen, and helps you move from detection to resolution.

If you are new, the recommended path is: start with the Welcome Page, skim Topology to learn how entities are organized, then dive into Root Causes and Ask Causely to investigate real issues.

tip

Causely is build to seamlessly integrate with your existing SRE tools and workflows: it replaces the tools you no longer need for reactive incident response, and plugs into your workflows to enable prediction and prevention.

Therefore the UI is only one way to interact with Causely: we recommend that you use workflow integrations, the API and the MCP server to have Causely available where you already work.

Welcome Page

Start your day with a concise overview. The page highlights whether there is an urgent cause that needs attention or confirms that there are no urgent items (with a link to review non‑urgent ones). It provides direct access to Ask Causely with suggested questions, and a set of insights from the last 24 hours: the number of Root Causes and Symptoms observed (and how many are active), plus the Noise Reduction achieved. See the full page at Welcome Page.

Topology

Browse entities discovered by the engine: services, workloads, containers, HTTP paths, background operations, data stores, and more. Filter by scope, severity, and type, and use search to quickly find what you need. Inspect any entity through focused tabs including Summary, Root causes, Symptoms, Metrics, Service map, Infrastructure stack, Dataflow map, and Labels. Learn more at Topology.

Root Causes

See the list of inferred causes that explain observed symptoms across your environment. Use urgency and state filters to focus, then open a cause to review the Summary and the Causality graph with evidence, impact, and remediation guidance. Details at Root Causes.

Ask Causely

Interact with the engine using natural language. Ask targeted questions, use @‑mentions to reference entities, and pivot directly to filtered views. Examples include “Which services are currently degraded?” or “Show the blast radius for service X.” Learn how to get the most out of it at Ask Causely.

Automate Remediation

Automate remediation for resource contention issues such as CPU congestion, memory failures, and noisy-neighbor conditions. Use it to quickly restore service performance with safe scaling actions directly from the Causely UI. Learn more at Automate Remediation.

MCP Server

Documentation for the Causely MCP server that enables deep integration with assistants and IDEs. It explains setup, available tools, and how to run guided workflows from your development environment. Read more at MCP Server.

Reliability Delta

Compare two snapshots of your environment to see whether reliability has improved or regressed. This turns subjective judgment into clear, objective reliability signals. Use it to validate release candidates, analyze load tests, and detect reliability drift over time. Learn more at Reliability Delta.

Feature Demos

Short demonstrations that highlight key capabilities and investigative workflows—useful for onboarding, sharing with teammates, or refreshing best practices. Explore at Feature Demos.
