✅ Collect custom application metrics and integrate observability data with external data platforms for unified business intelligence
✅ Send alerts via Slack, Microsoft Teams, Pagerduty, ServiceNow, and more
✅ Fine tune observability data processing workflows and eliminate alert fatigue using Sensu Go filters
✅ Automate multi-cloud endpoint management – discovering new VMs, public cloud compute instances, containers, and more in real-time
✅ Automate remediation (self-healing) with Sensu Go
