Stop debugging infrastructure issues across multiple dashboards. See how Last9's Discover Infrastructure monitors K8s pods and traditional hosts together—with resource analysis, pod-level debugging, and AI that correlates app problems to infrastructure root causes. One setup (K8s + host monitoring) → Complete infrastructure visibility that connects to your services and jobs. No more blind spots between application performance and underlying resources.

Stop debugging background jobs with docker logs and prayer. See how Last9's Discover Jobs monitors async operations like APIs—with P95 latencies, error breakdowns, and operation-level traces for every job type.

Stop playing detective during incidents. See how Last9's Discover Services automatically builds your service map from traces, shows real-time dependencies, and lets you debug with both conversational AI and visual dashboards.

Use Last9 MCP in Claude Desktop or Cursor to analyze logs for a service, get recommendations on improving logging, and optimize log volumes. In this demo, the AI agent uses the `add_drop_rules` MCP tool from Last9 to filter out unnecessary logs and reduve volumes by ~60%.
