Every event your processes record into a timeline — observed, assured, self-healed.
Timeline turns event data from across your business systems into process intelligence — showing how work flows, where it stalls, and where automation pays off. When the Recording Service falls behind, an ingestion feed stops, or PostgreSQL or Redis degrades, those timelines drift from reality and the insight quietly goes stale. Reveille pioneered Content Observability to keep that from happening: continuous coverage of the Timeline platform and API, data ingestion, repositories and recorders, the subscription, and the system logs — plus self-healing automation built in.
Agentless — pre-configured for ABBYY Timeline, in the cloud or deployed on-premises.
The Blind Spot
Enterprises can monitor infrastructure. What they can't see is Timeline.
Timeline is a process-intelligence platform: it ingests event data from ODBC, SFTP, NAS, email, AWS S3, and your ABBYY Vantage and FlexiCapture systems, then turns it into the timelines that show how work really flows. Traditional infrastructure tools can't see the Recording Service, the ingestion feeds, or the repositories inside Timeline — which is what actually keeps that intelligence accurate.
That layer is where silent failures live. The Recording Service falls behind. An ODBC or SFTP feed stops delivering. A repository recorder stalls. PostgreSQL or Redis degrades. The subscription runs short. The dashboards still render — but on data that quietly stopped being current.
What infrastructure tools see
The servers ping, the web site returns 200, the database is up. Every endpoint check is green — and the timelines can still be running on stale, half-ingested data.
What Reveille sees
The Recording Service falling behind, an ingestion feed gone quiet, repository recorders stalling, and database or Redis health degrading — the Timeline-level signals that precede stale process intelligence.
Why it matters
Platform availability is not data accuracy. Reveille measures the difference — at the Recording Service, ingestion-feed, and repository level — and self-heals before it reaches a ticket.
What Reveille Watches
Every layer of the Timeline stack. Application-aware.
45+ prebuilt, application-aware tests cover the components that actually drive Timeline service levels — not generic endpoint pings. Timeline-specific wizards and templates spin up a working monitor in minutes, drawn from a library that already understands the Recording Service, ingestion feeds, and repository model. Zero relearning.

KPI Dashboards
Timeline operational KPIs, out of the box.
Reveille's ABBYY dashboard metric engine turns Timeline recording, ingestion, repository, and subscription signals into measurable key performance indicators — tracked, charted, and reported through Timeline-aware dashboards.
Track event ingestion, uploads, and repository recorder activity against service levels
Watch each ingestion feed — ODBC, SFTP, NAS, email, AWS S3, Vantage, FlexiCapture — in real time
Monitor sessions, scheduled tasks, database sizes, and subscription days to expiration
Dynamic threshold detection powered by machine learning
Don't just watch Timeline. Prove the data’s flowing.
Reveille watches every Timeline ingestion feed — ODBC, SFTP, NAS, email, AWS S3, and the Vantage and FlexiCapture integrations — for availability, currency, and movement, and tracks the repository recorders and agents that turn those events into timelines. That is the ‘last mile’ of process intelligence: confirming data is actually arriving and being recorded, not just that a server answered.
Watch every ingestion source for availability, currency, and file movement — continuously
Measure ingestion freshness and recorder throughput against service levels
Catch a feed falling behind — per source and per repository — before the timelines go stale
Goes beyond agent-based checks that watch only one server or endpoint

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Reveille for ABBYY Timeline?
Reveille for ABBYY Timeline is agentless Content Observability software that continuously monitors, alerts, self-heals, and reports on the health of ABBYY Timeline process-intelligence environments. It covers connectivity to the Timeline, Recording Service, and database servers; the Timeline services, API, Redis, web site, and microservices; the PostgreSQL databases; data ingestion from ODBC, SFTP, NAS, email, AWS S3, and the Vantage and FlexiCapture feeds; sessions, users, scheduled tasks, repositories, and uploads; the subscription and system logs; and the Web Timeline, Admin, and Recording Service logins — helping organizations prevent SLA breaches and keep process intelligence running.
How is this different from Timeline's own analytics?
Timeline's built-in analytics tell you how a business process flows — where delays and friction occur. They do not watch the systems that power Timeline itself. Reveille is the independent, cross-vendor watcher: it sees whether the Recording Service is keeping up, whether the ODBC, SFTP, NAS, S3, Vantage, and FlexiCapture feeds are ingesting on time, and whether PostgreSQL and Redis are healthy; it applies machine-learning thresholds, self-heals on breach, and feeds your existing SIEM and incident-management tools. Timeline shows you the process; Reveille assures the platform underneath it.
Is Reveille for ABBYY Timeline agentless?
Yes. Reveille installs no agents in your Timeline environment. It uses application-aware tests against the Timeline API and the patented Reveille Collector for cloud or highly secured environments. Credentials are encrypted, and the Collector offers a local credential store so they are not shared with third parties.
Does Reveille support Timeline in the cloud and on-premises?
Yes. Reveille supports ABBYY Timeline whether it runs in the cloud or is deployed on-premises on Windows Server with PostgreSQL and Redis. Timeline-specific tests cover the Timeline and Recording Service web sites, the API, microservices, databases, data ingestion feeds, repositories, the subscription, and the Web Timeline, Admin, and Recording Service logins.
Which Timeline components does Reveille monitor?
Connectivity to the Timeline, Recording Service, and Timeline database servers; the Timeline services, Recording Service web site, Timeline API, Redis Dictionary Server, web site, and app pool; the Timeline, log, and user PostgreSQL databases, their service, and sizes; data ingestion from ODBC, SFTP, NAS, email, and AWS S3 plus the Vantage and FlexiCapture integration feeds; sessions, users, browser analytics, scheduled tasks, repositories, and uploads; the subscription; microservices and the Timeline, task, worker, and repository logs; the repository agents, recorders, and templates; and the Web Timeline, Admin, and Recording Service client logins.
How many tests does Reveille provide for Timeline?
45+ Timeline-specific out-of-the-box tests across nine categories: Connectivity, Platform, Database, Data Ingestion, Operating Metrics, License, System Metrics, Repository Service Metrics, and Client Access. The monitor extends with Reveille infrastructure wizards for SQL, REST and web services, file access over UNC, FTP, and SFTP, and PowerShell, WMI, and Windows performance counters.
Can Reveille detect a stalled or lagging Recording Service or ingestion feed?
Yes. Operating- and data-ingestion tests track the Recording Service, repository recorders and agents, uploads, scheduled tasks, and each ingestion source — ODBC, SFTP, NAS, email, AWS S3, and the Vantage and FlexiCapture feeds. Machine-learning dynamic thresholds learn normal Timeline patterns and reduce alert noise from workload variation, so a genuinely stalled recorder or aging ingestion feed stands out.
Does Reveille self-heal Timeline issues?
Yes. On a threshold breach, Reveille can conditionally trigger recovery actions — reducing processing bottlenecks, redriving repository and data-source connections, and executing PowerShell recovery scripts to restart required Timeline services — resolving many issues before the ticket queue fills.
How does Reveille handle Timeline subscription and capacity planning?
License tests track the Timeline subscription and days to expiration, while system and database tests follow database sizes, sessions, uploads, and event volume. Together that exposes consumption and growth trends so you can plan renewals and scale Recording Service and repository capacity before you run short.
How does Reveille validate Timeline data ingestion end to end?
Reveille checks each ingestion source — ODBC, SFTP, NAS, email, AWS S3, and the Vantage and FlexiCapture feeds — for availability, currency, and movement, and tracks the repository recorders and agents that turn ingested events into timelines. That confirms data is actually flowing in and being recorded, not just that an endpoint is reachable.
What about security monitoring for Timeline?
Reveille tracks Timeline sessions and users, the Windows event log for Timeline events, and the Timeline, task, worker, and repository logs, surfacing login, logout, and error activity for review. It integrates with SIEMs such as Splunk and incident-management tools such as ServiceNow to reduce mean time to threat detection.
Does Reveille integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. 25+ connectors share Reveille's content-layer signal with SIEMs such as Splunk and event and incident-management systems such as ServiceNow. 170+ REST endpoints administer Reveille and retrieve metrics and activity, and Reveille supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for communication with AI assistants and agents.
Will Reveille work in a secured or cloud environment?
Yes. The patented Reveille Collector runs as a single low-footprint Windows service near the application, collecting Timeline data locally or remotely into a compressed and optionally encrypted package — ideal for cloud or highly secured deployments, with a local credential store so application credentials are not shared with third parties.
Which Timeline version does Reveille support?
Reveille is pre-configured for ABBYY Timeline, whether hosted in the cloud or deployed on-premises on Windows Server with PostgreSQL and Redis. Timeline-specific wizards and templates build a working monitor in minutes.
How quickly can we get value from Reveille for Timeline?
Timeline-specific wizards and templates spin up a working monitor in minutes, drawn from a library that already understands Timeline's Recording Service, ingestion, and repository model — no relearning, whether you run Timeline in the cloud or on-premises.
