Enterprise · Observability

Detection events, right in the observability stack you already run.

PoisonZero can stream every detection event — verdict, score, threat level, model version — as OpenTelemetry (OTLP) straight into your existing stack. Any OTel-compatible collector or backend: Grafana, Datadog, Splunk, Elastic, or your own. No special integration to build.

What OpenTelemetry export gives you.

Why it matters

Three things this changes for your security team.

Runs in your stack

Detection events show up directly in the observability system you already run. Any collector or backend that speaks OTLP works — no bespoke PoisonZero integration to build or maintain.

Standardized & documented

Fixed attribute names under a poisonzero.* namespace, plus mirrored security_rule.* attributes for generic security dashboards. Build your own dashboards and alerts — like paging on threat level high — without reverse-engineering a payload format.

Local observability, zero data drain

The OTLP stream runs daemon → your collector and never touches the PoisonZero cloud. It works with zero cloud connectivity — private and on-prem daemons included. You decide locally how much detail to include; none of it reaches us. This is the strongest part of the feature: full visibility, no privacy trade-off.

How it works

Point it at your collector — that's the setup.

OpenTelemetry export is configured locally, per daemon, the same way you'd wire up any other OTel-instrumented service.

Point it at your collector

Add your OTLP endpoint to a named export profile in the daemon config — the same pattern as our BYO-inference profiles. Standard OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_* environment variables are respected.

Every detection event, structured

Verdict, danger score, threat level, decision, and model version go out as one OTel event per evaluated change — nothing aggregated away.

Fail-soft by design

If your collector is unreachable, export just retries in the background — detection and enforcement are never blocked or delayed by an observability hiccup.

# daemon config — named export profile
otel:
  enabled: true
  endpoint: "https://otel-collector.internal:4318"
  detail: hashes   # hashes | redacted | full

[otel]   exporting via OTLP/HTTP → otel-collector.internal
[detect] verdict=flag threat_level=high danger=0.89 → event sent
[otel]   stream stays inside your network · nothing reaches PoisonZero cloud
Standardized attributes

Fixed field names, so your dashboards don't break.

Every detection event carries the same attribute names, event after event. Build a dashboard or alert once — it keeps working as the model or fleet changes underneath it. A selection of the attribute set:

AttributeWhat it carries
poisonzero.verdict.label The detection verdict, e.g. benign, injection, meta-attack.
poisonzero.verdict.danger Danger score, 0.00–0.99.
poisonzero.threat_level Severity tier — the field to alert on, e.g. “page on threat level high.”
poisonzero.decision.action What the daemon did: allow, flag, quarantine, or revert.
poisonzero.model.version Which detection model produced the verdict.
security_rule.category Mirrored into the OTel semantic-conventions security namespace, so generic security dashboards and SIEMs display something out of the box too.
This is a preview of the attribute set, not the full reference — the complete field list and evidence-detail options (hashes / redacted / full) are covered during Enterprise onboarding. Ask us for the full attribute reference →
Privacy

The strongest part: visibility without a privacy trade-off.

Full-detail observability and data privacy are usually a trade-off. With OpenTelemetry export they aren't — because the stream never leaves your network in the first place.

Nothing reaches our cloud

The OTLP stream goes daemon → your collector, full stop. In the OpenTelemetry context, no detection content ever reaches the PoisonZero cloud — regardless of which detail level you choose locally.

Works fully offline

The export runs the same way whether the daemon is cloud-managed or fully private, on-prem, with zero cloud connectivity. Your observability stack, your rules.

You choose the detail level

Set locally per profile whether events carry hashes only, a redacted excerpt, or the full evidence — the same leak-discipline default used elsewhere in the product, under your control.

Bring detection events into your stack.
