A 3X Leader in Observability

2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms

For the third consecutive year, Gartner® has named Chronosphere, now Cortex® XCOR™ by Palo Alto Networks, a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms.

The AI era has introduced new observability challenges that legacy tools weren’t built for. Cortex XCOR redefines observability — moving from static dashboards and manual workflows to an AI-driven platform that delivers autonomous remediation.

Here’s how we’re shaping the future of observability:

  • Autonomous response: AI agents powered by a complete knowledge graph investigate and resolve issues in minutes.

  • AI-native experience: A modern chat interface removes operational friction, replacing complex tool navigation with rapid insights and immediate outcomes.

  • Automated optimization: High-value context is preserved while low-value noise is automatically removed.
