Frequently Asked Questions

The Protocol

What is Intelifive?

Intelifive is a protocol for capturing and querying the complete history of data changes across your systems. We augment OpenTelemetry with normalized schemas and AI orchestration so you can ask business questions like "Who approved this order?" or "Why did revenue spike last Friday?" without writing SQL or touching your production database.

How is this different from Datadog/Splunk/New Relic?

We are not a replacement for those tools - we are an extension. Datadog is for developers diagnosing code-level issues. Intelifive is for first-line support, business analysts, and auditors who need to understand what changed, who changed it, and why it matters. We turn operational logs into business intelligence and immutable audit trails.

Integration & Performance

Will this slow down my production application?

No. The SDK writes to local log files with minimal overhead (microseconds). The Argus Agent buffers and transports data asynchronously - there is zero blocking on your critical path.
