RCA evidence view
Give the analyst a timeline. Do not fabricate the cause.
PAIL works after alert detection to isolate one incident, gather related records and prepare bounded evidence for human or LLM-assisted investigation.

Integration role
From alert to reviewable evidence.
PAIL is an evidence step inside the incident workflow, not a replacement for detection, telemetry storage or analyst ownership.
Your monitoring tool alerts
Grafana, Splunk or Dynatrace supplies trace, request, transaction or service anchors.
PAIL isolates evidence
Related records are bounded, ordered, checked for conflicts and labeled by evidence status.
Human or LLM explains
The reviewer receives attributable evidence while suspected cause remains clearly marked.
Current prototype boundary
Useful investigation support. Not a Dynatrace competitor.
Trace isolation, occurrence history and evidence packets work at prototype scale. Live monitoring connectors, large soak tests and automatic causal validation require customer infrastructure.
Works now
Trace-scoped retrieval, event ordering, repeated occurrence preservation, contradiction visibility and bounded packets.
Requires integration
Grafana/Splunk/Dynatrace credentials, production log volume, retention policy, RBAC and operational runbooks.
