# Cloud-Native Metrics

Monitor, analyze and optimize metrics with Cortex XCOR. Automate root cause analysis to compress MTTR and lower costs without losing visibility.

* [Request demo](#request-demo-modal)  
  {#challenges}

## Challenges

Microservices architectures create noisy, high-cardinality metric data that slows MTTR, increases toil, and inflates observability spend.  
Slow and Inconsistent Root Cause Analysis  
![Slow and Inconsistent Root Cause Analysis](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/content/dam/pan/en_US/icons/svgs/Icon_library_Dynamic%20analysis.svg)

### Slow and Inconsistent Root Cause Analysis

Sifting through dimensions manually during incidents wastes time, inflates MTTR, and leads to inconsistent troubleshooting across engineering teams.  
Metrics Overload and Maintenance Complexity  
![Metrics Overload and Maintenance Complexity](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/content/dam/pan/en_US/images/security-posture-assessment/Icon_library_Dashboard.svg)

### Metrics Overload and Maintenance Complexity

Visualizing and alerting on too many time series creates bloated dashboards, alert sprawl, and brittle metrics that require constant upkeep.  
Overpaying for Low-Utility Metric Waste  
![Overpaying for Low-Utility Metric Waste](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/content/dam/pan/en_US/images/cortex/cdr/Icon_library_Total-cost-of-ownership-TCO.svg)

### Overpaying for Low-Utility Metric Waste

Legacy vendor pricing models force teams to pay for massive volumes of unqueried time-series data, driving up costs without adding value.

## Frequently Asked Questions

What metric protocols and formats does Cortex XCOR ingest natively?  
Cortex XCOR natively ingests Prometheus remote\_write, OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), StatsD, DogStatsD, Graphite, and proprietary formats. Deploy the vendor-neutral Cortex XDOT Collector alongside existing scrapers and legacy pipelines without re-instrumenting code or altering collection workflows.  
How does Cortex XCOR handle custom metrics and non-standard telemetry data?  
Cortex XCOR automatically normalizes custom telemetry without requiring rigid vendor schemas. Because custom metrics contain vital business context, the platform treats them as first-class data---allowing AI workflows to reason over complete telemetry without flying blind during incidents.  
How does Cortex XCOR reduce metric volume without creating visibility blind spots?  
Cortex XCOR tracks metric usage down to the tag level, including query frequency, alert rules, and dashboard references. Before applying Optimization Engine rules, the platform verifies data utility, preserving high-cardinality detail for triage while eliminating noise at ingestion.  
How does Operator convert natural language intent into action?  
Operator serves as Cortex XCOR's primary conversational interface. It evaluates natural language requests to execute complex queries directly or dispatch specialized agentic workflows---such as running AI Investigations, constructing dashboards, pruning redundant alerts, or updating SLOs.  
How do Consumption Budgets prevent unexpected metric billing overages?  
Consumption Budgets allocate metric capacity across teams via flexible credit pools. Rather than sending passive alerts during spikes, Consumption Budgets trigger pre-configured Optimization Engine rules at ingestion to drop or aggregate low-priority telemetry before limits are breached.  
How does Differential Diagnosis (DDx) isolate metric anomalies during incidents?  
DDx automatically compares degraded metric states against healthy baselines across millions of time series. By isolating exact dimensional state changes and anomaly correlations, DDx eliminates manual query construction and guides engineers straight to the root cause to compress MTTR.  
How does Cortex XCOR maintain millisecond query performance at extreme scale?  
Cortex XCOR is built on the XCOR Data Store, supporting workloads over 3 billion data points per second with millisecond query latency. By pairing pre-storage metric transformation with intelligent indexing, the platform ensures rapid dashboard rendering regardless of cardinality growth.
