Perplexity

Full problem lifecycle control in Windsurf

Cascade can identify active incidents by running `list_problems` and pull detailed context using `get_problem`. It doesn't just stop at reporting; it can resolve issues by calling `close_problem` once it validates the fix. You avoid manual context switching between your monitoring console and code editor. Cascade handles the investigation loop autonomously, surfacing the root cause directly in your workspace.

Automated synthetic testing from Windsurf

Trigger monitor runs instantly with `trigger_synthetic_batch` or manage your entire suite using `create_synthetic_monitor` and `update_synthetic_monitor`. This allows you to verify site health after a deployment without manual intervention. Cascade reads the execution results from `list_synthetic_executions` to confirm your changes didn't break critical flows. It keeps your synthetic coverage in sync with your codebase automatically.

Deep metric observability via Windsurf

Get raw data points by querying `list_metrics` and `query_metrics` to build custom views of your infrastructure. Cascade processes these values to pinpoint performance regressions in real-time. It can also use `get_calculated_metrics_service` to pull complex service-level indicators. You get an immediate, data-driven view of your system's health inside the Windsurf terminal.
