In December 2021 Augtera detected a major AWS outage long before Amazon publicly commented on it, though the Augtera Live Multi cloud Anomaly capability, which is provided on the Augtera website to everyone. In addition, while the Augtera team was presenting at NFD, a real-time GCP anomaly was being detected. The underlying tech for this capability is Augtera software probes deployed across the Internet, or a customer’s network. VPC flow logs can also be used to detect anomalies.

Augtera detects TCP SACK options through sFlow which is an indication that an issue is emerging. Further inspection shows fabric interfaces are dropping packets, because of how traffic is being load balanced. Similarly, an underlay could be impacting a SD-WAN overlay. Instead of focusing on which servers are impacted, in this use case, the focus is the applications impacted.

An underinvested area by tools vendors is syslog. Specifically, use of syslog as a real-time data source for anomaly detection. Augtera has a rich syslog solution that includes real-time classifiers, easy/fast-add classifiers, and rate change anomalies. Recently, Augtera announced an industry first, real-time natural language processing (NLP) for syslog, based on Augtera’s own NLP algorithms. This capability allows Augtera to identify semantically new syslog messages in real-time, so they can be flagged to operations for inspection, and potential classification as anomalies. Operations teams can now sleep well knowing that new incident types will be detected and reported before they become persistent sources of failures and/or performance degradation.
