KNOW BEFORE THINGS GO WRONG

Pulse: PagerDuty for Satellites

Satellite failures often begin with subtle anomalies that go undetected until they cascade into major issues. Pulse continuously monitors telemetry data, using advanced AI to detect early warning signs, trace their root causes, and alert your team before small problems become mission-critical failures.

The Problem with Traditional Monitoring

1

Reactive monitoring — Traditional systems only alert after thresholds are crossed, when damage may already be occurring

2

Alert fatigue — Engineers are overwhelmed with false positives and low-priority alerts, causing critical issues to be missed

3

Delayed diagnosis — Hours spent manually analyzing telemetry to identify the true root cause behind symptoms

4

Missed patterns — Subtle precursors to failure go undetected because they don't trigger any specific threshold alerts

How Pulse Detects Anomalies

A timeline of early detection, analysis, and proactive resolution

Step 1
T-72 hours

Telemetry Pattern Analysis

Pulse continuously analyzes thousands of telemetry streams, looking for subtle patterns and deviations that traditional monitoring would miss.

Step 2
T-68 hours

Early Anomaly Detection

When a potential anomaly is detected, Pulse correlates data across multiple subsystems to confirm the deviation and eliminate false positives.

Step 3
T-67 hours

Root Cause Identification

Pulse traces the anomaly through system dependency graphs to identify the true root cause rather than just the symptoms.

Step 4
T-66 hours

Prioritized Alert Generation

Based on severity, impact, and time criticality, Pulse generates appropriate alerts with full context and recommended actions.

Step 5
T-48 hours

Proactive Resolution

Your team addresses the issue before it escalates to a critical failure, often through simple interventions that would be impossible if caught later.
