Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.
Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.
Agent platform

An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.
