At Retarus, transparency is not a marketing claim \u2013 it is a core design principle. With the introduction of our new Observability Metrics, we are taking the next logical step, delivering a level of visibility that is currently unique in the market. Effective immediately, customers gain full, unfiltered, real-time access to all security-relevant data generated by Retarus Email Security. No black box. No hidden logic. Nothing to obscure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This transparency extends beyond security events to include performance metrics such as message processing and delivery times, which are now continuously observable as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By exposing what other providers often keep opaque, Retarus enables organizations to maintain a precise, data-driven view of their threat landscape. At the same time, customers have immediate access to reliable metrics required for forensics, audits, and both current and upcoming regulatory and compliance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built on Established Standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Retarus deliberately relies on established, open standards. All observability metrics are exposed in the industry-standard Prometheus format and can be seamlessly integrated into existing monitoring and observability stacks already in use by our customers, including Grafana<\/strong>, Splunk<\/strong>, Dynatrace<\/strong>, and Elastic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This approach allows organizations to retain full ownership and control of their data while consolidating security and performance metrics in a single, centralized monitoring environment. The resulting dashboards and visualizations provide a unified, correlated view across all email security metrics and become particularly powerful when combined with additional tools, applications, and data sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actionable Insights Instead of Abstract KPIs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Observability Metrics are designed with operational relevance in mind and provide exactly the information required by security and IT teams in day-to-day operations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
