API-first. Wire it into anything.

Every Pardinus capability is exposed through a versioned REST API. Trigger RCA from your incident pipeline, fetch reports into your ticketing tool, or attach evidence to collaboration channels without changing how teams already operate.

REST Endpoints

POST /api/v1/rca/run

Trigger an RCA job from an external workflow.

GET /api/v1/rca/{job_id}

Poll job status and retrieve results.

GET /api/v1/rca/{job_id}/report.json

Fetch structured output for downstream systems.

POST /api/v1/chat/query

Send conversational requests into Pardinus Chat.

Attach RCA report

Step 01

An incident or alert triggers the external workflow.

Step 02

n8n, ServiceNow, or another tool starts the RCA request.

Step 03

Pardinus receives the RCA job through the API.

Step 04

The caller waits for completion or polls the job status.

Step 05

The resulting evidence and summary are added to the ticket.

Deterministic-first RCA pipeline

The model does not work from a raw alert alone. Pardinus first builds the incident context, then asks the selected provider to interpret it.

01

Trigger

Launch RCA directly from a Checkmk action on any host or service.

02

Collect

Pardinus gathers status, plugin output, related services, acknowledgements, and downtime context.

03

Structure

The platform assembles the collected signals into a structured incident context.

04

Synthesize

The selected model receives that package and returns a structured response.

05

Report

Teams receive a likely cause, confidence score, and recommended next actions.

Why Pardinus

Pardinus is built for teams that want faster operations without giving up control or deployment flexibility.

Native to Checkmk

Works from the menus, actions, and views teams already use. No separate console and no context switch.

Deterministic Before AI

Pardinus prepares incident context before any model is asked to explain what happened.

Bring Your Own Model

Run with a local LLM, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, Azure OpenAI, or a customer-managed provider that fits your governance model.

Auditable by Design

Every RCA can show what was used, how confident the result is, and where context is incomplete.

Enterprise guardrails

Pardinus includes practical controls for governance, private deployment, and safer adoption.

Sensitive-value redaction

Sensitive values such as IP addresses, secrets, and tokens can be removed before data leaves the customer environment.

Provider validation

Configured providers can be validated before RCA runs are accepted.

Deterministic fallback

If generation fails, the platform can still return the evidence package so operations can keep moving.

Confidence thresholding

Low-confidence output is flagged for operator review instead of being presented as certainty.

Without protection

Sensitive values remain visible in the payload before generation.

Raw view

With protection

Sensitive values are masked before data leaves the controlled environment.

Redacted

Talk to your infrastructure

Pardinus Chat routes natural-language requests to the right capability without exposing teams to API syntax or runbook complexity.

Task

Acts through the Checkmk REST API on the user's behalf and asks for confirmation before destructive operations.

"Create a downtime for all hosts in Lisboa for the next 2 hours."
Report

Reviews system state, service health, and metrics to return a clear operational answer in plain language.

"How are my Linux machines performing today?"
Wiki

Explains Checkmk concepts and configuration topics with session-aware guidance that helps teams onboard faster.

"What is a host tag group?"

Where it creates value

Pardinus fits teams that need faster response, better knowledge capture, and cleaner managed-service delivery.

On-call triage

Critical alerts can trigger RCA so the first responder starts with a clearer incident picture instead of raw plugin output.

Tier-1 escalation

Service-desk teams can attach an RCA report to tickets before handing incidents to L2 or L3.

Recurring incident clustering

Teams can spot repeated patterns across past RCAs and turn recurring failures into known operational issues.

Compliance and post-mortems

Structured output supports ITIL reviews, post-incident records, and regulated operating environments.

MSP multi-tenancy

Per-customer providers and isolated execution make the suite suitable for managed services and white-label offerings.

Living runbooks

Resolved RCA results become reusable operational knowledge that newer team members can search and apply.
