Key Capabilities

ML Anomaly Detection

let detector = AnomalyDetector::new(AnomalyThresholds::default());
detector.record_profile(query_profile).await?;
let anomalies = detector.get_anomalies(10).await;
// Automatically detects: slow queries, high memory, high CPU

Single Pane of Glass

let registry = MetricsRegistry::new();
// All components: QueryEngine, Storage, Protocol, GPU, Cache, etc.
let metrics = registry.get_component_metrics(Component::QueryEngine).await;

Real-Time Alerting

registry.add_alert_rule(AlertRule {
    condition: AlertCondition::Threshold { value: 1.0, op: GreaterThan },
    severity: AlertSeverity::Warning,
    routing: AlertRouting {
        channels: vec![AlertChannel::Slack { webhook_url }],
        escalation: Some(escalation_rule),
    },
    cooldown: Duration::from_secs(60),
}).await?;

Query Pattern Analysis

let analyzer = QueryPatternAnalyzer::new();
analyzer.analyze(&query_profile).await?;
let slow_queries = analyzer.get_slow_queries(10).await;
let recommendations = analyzer.get_recommendations().await;

Capacity Planning

let planner = CapacityPlanner::new();
planner.record_snapshot(resource_snapshot).await?;
let plan = planner.generate_plan(Duration::from_hours(24)).await?;
// Predictions for CPU, memory, storage with confidence intervals

Cost Attribution

let cost_engine = CostAttributionEngine::new();
let cost = cost_engine.calculate_cost(&query_profile).await?;
let breakdown = cost_engine.get_breakdown(CostDimension::Tenant).await?;

Platform Integration

// Prometheus
let exporter = PrometheusExporter::new(registry, "heliosdb".to_string());
let metrics = exporter.export().await?;


// Grafana
let dashboard = GrafanaDashboard::create_default();
let json = dashboard.export()?;


// Custom dashboards
let builder = DashboardBuilder::new();
let dashboard = builder.create_dashboard("My Dashboard", "Description").await?;
