Perplexity

Real-time infrastructure observability

Stop context switching between your dashboard and chat. Use `list_problems` to pull active incidents into your workspace and `get_problem` to see the exact root cause without leaving the app. Your agent parses the raw JSON output from these tools to explain the failure state. It’s faster than manually searching the UI for trace IDs.

Automate your synthetic monitor fleet

Keep your synthetic testing in sync with your deployment pipeline. The `create_synthetic_monitor` and `update_synthetic_monitor` tools let you modify availability checks on the fly. Trigger runs immediately using `trigger_synthetic_batch` to verify a fix before you push to production. You’ll see the execution status in your chat window instantly.

Custom metric and event ingestion

Push telemetry from local scripts into your environment using `ingest_metrics` or `ingest_events`. This keeps your monitoring data centralized without needing a complex agent setup. Query those same data points back with `query_metrics` to validate that your custom instrumentation is reporting correctly. It turns your chat into a live command center.
