Tools

The platform combines telemetry services with the Kubernetes, delivery, automation, and security systems used to operate them. Start with the tool that owns the failing stage, then follow the linked upstream and downstream checks.

Runtime and Delivery

Tool	Operational purpose
Kubernetes	Runs exporters, collectors, forwarders, and supporting services
Helm	Packages Kubernetes resources and separates templates from environment values
Docker	Packages exporter and platform services as immutable images
Harness	Builds, validates, tags, and publishes service images
Artifactory	Stores approved images and other build artifacts

Automation and Security

Tool	Operational purpose
Terraform	Manages Keeper, Splunk alerts, and other platform configuration as code
InfoSec Keeper	Stores and brokers credentials used by deployment and runtime services
AWX	Runs approved Ansible automation and automation-generated metric workflows

Keeper and KeepHQ are different systems

InfoSec Keeper is the secrets platform. KeepHQ/EMS is the alert-routing service.

Telemetry Platform

Tool	Operational purpose
Prometheus	Metrics collection and scraping
Mimir	Long-term metrics storage
Grafana	Visualization and dashboarding
Splunk	Log management and search
Syslog Infrastructure	Receives, enriches, persists, and forwards device syslog
Telegraf	Receives SNMP traps, collectd metrics, and selected automation metrics
KeepHQ	Alert notification hub (EMS)

Exact image versions, chart values, credentials, and deployed resources remain in their owning repositories and runtime systems. This section explains how to find and validate them without turning the documentation into a second source of truth.
