AI Alarm Summary


AI Alarm Summary in Applications Manager uses a configured GenAI provider to generate concise, readable insights from alarm data. It helps operations teams quickly understand alert volume, severity patterns, affected monitors, recurring issues, probable causes, and recommended next steps without leaving Applications Manager.

AI-generated summaries are intended to assist investigation and decision-making. Review the generated output before taking any action.

Prerequisites

  • Configure at least one GenAI provider from SettingsProduct SettingsIntegrations (Add-On Settings).
  • Add one or more models to the provider configuration. View list of suggested AI models
  • Set a default model if you want Applications Manager to use a preferred model automatically.
  • Ensure the Applications Manager server can connect to the selected AI provider or the locally hosted model (such as Ollama).

For provider setup details, refer to the AIOps Integrations section.

Note:
  • When no specific alarms are selected, only the top 100 alarms matching the applied filters are summarized by default.
  • The generated summary reflects the alarm context available at the time of generation.
  • Summary quality, response time, and availability depend on the selected provider and model.
  • Changing the model or summary language regenerates the summary.
  • AI-generated recommendations should be reviewed by an administrator before implementation.
