Major observability platform providers are increasingly using artificial intelligence to enhance monitoring. AI-driven features are being integrated by companies like Logz.io and Dynatrace to automate operational tasks and streamline incident resolution. Logz.io offers specialized AI Agents for functions like root cause analysis and alert analysis, reportedly yielding significant reductions in triage time. In contrast, Dynatrace's Davis AI implements a more holistic causal AI approach to predict and manage potential failures within cloud architecture. This shift underscores the rising demand for reduced manual oversight in digital infrastructure management.
In a post on Logz.io's blog, Jade Lassery writes about their specialised 'AI Agents' that handle specific operational functions. The company's Root Cause Analysis Agent correlates telemetry data across services to generate incident timelines and remediation steps, whilst their Alert Analysis Agent enriches notifications with contextual metrics and suggested actions. According to Logz.io's documentation, 'When an alert triggers, the RCA Agent jumps in - no ticket, no Slack thread needed.'
Dynatrace has taken a topological approach with its Davis AI engine, writing about this in a press release earlier this month. Davis AI maps application dependencies to identify potential failures before they occur. Unlike Logz.io's task-specific agents, Davis uses causal AI to analyse cloud architecture comprehensively, identifying anomalous patterns across infrastructure, applications, and the end-user experience.
