Capture Visual Proof of Every Infrastructure Incident with Prometheus and Video Frames

Prometheus gives you deep visibility into your infrastructure through real-time metrics, PromQL queries, and alerting. Video Frames lets you extract precise visual snapshots from any video at millisecond accuracy. Together, they create a powerful workflow for infrastructure teams: correlate what your metrics showed with what was visually happening on dashboards, screen recordings, or monitoring feeds at the exact moment an incident occurred. Whether you need to document an alert spike, build a post-mortem timeline, or extract frames from a recorded incident walkthrough, Neotask connects these two tools so your investigations go further and your reports tell the full story.

Frame-Level Metrics

Instrument video pipelines with Prometheus counters and gauges.

Detect Pipeline Failures

Alert on frame processing errors before they impact end users.

Latency Trend Analysis

Track video encoding and processing latency over time.

What You Can Build

Incident Timeline Documentation Query Prometheus for the exact timestamps when a metric crossed a threshold, then extract frames from a recorded dashboard or monitoring screen at those same moments. Build a complete visual timeline of how an incident unfolded.

Alert Spike Frame Capture When Prometheus fires an alert, use the alert timestamp to pull frames from a screen recording of the affected system. Attach these frames directly to your incident report or runbook for future reference.

Post-Mortem Visual Evidence After resolving an incident, query Prometheus for the key metric windows, then extract corresponding frames from any recorded troubleshooting sessions or live monitoring views to support your post-mortem findings.

Dashboard Health Snapshots Run periodic PromQL health queries to identify degraded services, then extract frames from automated dashboard recordings to produce a visual health report at regular intervals.

Capacity Planning Frame Reports Query historical Prometheus metrics for resource saturation events, then pull frames from recorded performance review videos at the relevant timestamps to build a compelling visual case for infrastructure investment.

Neotask connects Prometheus and Video Frames through plain-language instructions. You describe what you want to investigate, and Neotask writes and executes the PromQL queries against your Prometheus instance to identify the relevant metric windows. Once the timestamps are known, Neotask passes them directly to Video Frames to extract JPEG or PNG snapshots from your chosen video source at millisecond precision. The results come back in a single, coherent response - metric data alongside the extracted frames - so you can document, share, or archive everything without switching between tools or writing custom scripts. No coding required, and no manual timestamp conversion between systems.

Pro Tips

Tip

Use Unix timestamps from Prometheus directly. When Prometheus returns alert or metric timestamps, pass them verbatim to Video Frames for the most accurate frame extraction - no manual conversion needed.

Tip

Choose PNG for documentation, JPEG for speed. PNG frames are lossless and ideal for post-mortems and compliance records. JPEG works well when you need to extract many frames quickly for a visual timeline.

Tip

Narrow your PromQL window before extracting frames. Query Prometheus first to identify the exact 1-2 minute window where an incident peaked, then extract frames only in that range to keep your output focused and fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Neotask need direct access to my Prometheus server?

Yes, Neotask connects to your Prometheus instance using the standard HTTP API. You provide your Prometheus URL and any required authentication when setting up the integration. Neotask queries your server directly and never stores raw metric data on its own infrastructure. Your data stays within your environment.

What video sources does Video Frames support?

Video Frames can extract frames from local video files as well as publicly accessible video URLs. Common formats including MP4, MOV, and AVI are supported. If you have screen recordings, incident walkthrough videos, or exported dashboard recordings, they can all be used as sources for frame extraction.

How precise is the timestamp matching between Prometheus and Video Frames?

Video Frames supports millisecond-level precision for frame extraction. Prometheus metric timestamps are typically accurate to the millisecond as well. When you ask Neotask to correlate the two, it passes the exact Prometheus event time to Video Frames, giving you the closest available frame to that moment in the video.

Can I extract frames from multiple incidents in a single Neotask session?

Yes. You can query Prometheus for multiple alert events, retrieve all the relevant timestamps in one response, and then extract frames at each of those timestamps from one or more videos. Neotask handles the sequencing across both tools so you get all your results in one coherent output without repeating yourself.

Is this useful outside of incident response?

Absolutely. Infrastructure teams use this combination for capacity planning presentations, quarterly performance reviews, SLA documentation, and onboarding materials. Any time you want to show a visual snapshot of what your infrastructure looked like at a specific metric moment, Prometheus and Video Frames together make that straightforward.
