Percepio Detect™
Verify system stability and detect hidden risks
Simplify Debugging and Develop Faster
Percepio Detect™ is a powerful observability tool designed to identify elusive stability risks in RTOS-based embedded software. By capturing crashes, anomalies, and timing issues in real time, Percepio Detect helps teams detect problems early, reduce debugging time, and improve software reliability. With support for in-house testing, CI/CT integration, and field test monitoring, Percepio Detect provides systematic visibility into runtime behavior and system health and integrity and synergistically extend capabilities to Percepio Tracealyzer. This enables Continuous Observability®.
Collaborate for Faster Progress and Superior Quality
Percepio Detect is a team solution that enables collaborative debugging through a shared server and web-based dashboard. This makes it easy to track stability risks, analyze performance data, and share insights across development and testing teams. By integrating Percepio Detect into continuous testing workflows, software teams can automatically collect and analyze stability metrics as part of their CI/CT pipeline. Unlike traditional debugging methods that rely on reproducing errors, Detect captures issues as they occur, making debugging faster and more efficient.
For high-confidence debugging, Percepio Detect can be used alongside Tracealyzer. While Tracealyzer provides detailed event traces, Detect runs independently on the device, monitoring system stability with minimal performance impact. Together, these tools provide deep, layered observability for embedded software teams. When extended with DevAlert cloud-based observability, you cover the full product lifecycle ensuring the stability, integrity and efficiency of your RTOS-based systems.

Percepio Detect provides monitoring and a shared dashboard with debug data access for team collaboration.
Verify, Detect, Resolve—Release with Confidence
Intermittent errors are challenging to debug due to limited initial information and difficulty in reproducing them. Percepio Detect provides deep observability on crashes, errors, and other detected issues and risks from the very first observation. Get visual RTOS traces on multithreading issues and see call-stacks, function arguments and variables on hard faults.
Percepio Detect also enables systematic monitoring of software timing and resource usage over unlimited time without high-bandwidth trace streaming. Thread metrics are calculated on the device in real time and aggregated as statistics. For high confidence results, monitoring can be active in field testing over many days or weeks. Metrics data will survive device crashes and restarts, and built-in data integrity checking protects against data corruption.
Percepio Detect monitoring can be included in your regular integration testing to find multithreading risks early and with minimal effort.
Continuous Observability® by Percepio
Percepio Detect is a core component of Percepio’s Continuous Observability portfolio, providing deep software insights across all development stages. Whether used during unit testing, integration testing, or in-field monitoring, Detect helps teams build more reliable, maintainable, and high-performing embedded systems.

Continous Observability with Percepio DevAlert
Percepio also provides a cloud-connected solution for continuous observability in field testing and in deployment, Percepio DevAlert. This includes Tracealyzer support as well as remote debugging support on source-code level, for example on hard fault exceptions. Using Detect during internal testing and QA allows you to later enable DevAlert at deployment with a minimum of effort.
