Chip Slack Alert

Alerts That Matter

Chip watches more, but alerts less.

Every alert tells you about real, observed impact on your systems and customers, so you're not wasting time on false-positives that don't matter.

Zero-Config
Monitoring

Chip painstakingly analyzes your telemetry (including custom metrics!), and monitors critical signals automatically, so your team can focus on building and shipping, rather than setting up and tuning alerts.

FAQ

Do I need to migrate from my existing Observability vendor?

No! We know how tedious migrations can be, and dislike them as much as you do. Chip can happily co-exist with your current o11y vendor or stack (until you decide you don't need it :)). You can send Chip a fork of your telemetry data using the OpenTelemetry pipeline that we help you set up during onboarding.

What tech stacks can Chip monitor?

Chip works best monitoring apps and services written in Java/JVM, Go, Node.js, Python, or Ruby, that are deployed on Kubernetes clusters. If you're not deployed on Kubernetes, we might still have something for you. Reach out to hello@cardinalhq.io and let us know!

Is Chip a good fit for my company or team?

We built Chip for high-velocity teams that are focused on building and shipping world-class products, and don't have the time or expertise to configure and maintain complex Observability and Monitoring tools. If that sounds like your team, Chip can become your Monitoring Copilot, and watch your back, with minimal effort on your part. That said, even if your company has made significant investments in Observability and Monitoring, we think you might still find Chip valuable, and would love for you to try us out!

How much time would I need to try Chip out?

Our customers are typically able to complete onboarding in under 30 minutes. This includes setting up vendor-neutral, OpenTelemetry auto-instrumention for your services, and an open-source Collector pipeline. Chip then begins to autonomously analyze and monitor critical telemetry signals, and alerts you only when high-impact issues are detected.

Try it for yourself.
