## Overview

Applications Manager uses AI and machine learning to analyze large volumes of operational data across infrastructure, applications, services, databases, and cloud environments. With Applications Manager, enterprise IT teams can shift from reactive to proactive, anticipating potential issues before they impact end users.

## Generative AI features

Integration with a GenAI LLM is a prerequisite to activate the following AI features.

### Integrate with the LLM of your choice

- Seamlessly integrate your preferred LLM and Applications Manager starts turning raw monitoring data into plain-language summaries, helping you accelerate troubleshooting.
- Supports 38 languages and gives you the flexibility to switch models on the fly — across all GenAI-powered features in Applications Manager.
- Configure alert rules with granular aggregates, threshold timelines, and rearm values to keep every alert precise and actionable.

#### Keep all monitoring data within your own servers

**To ensure data doesn't leave your environment a** full local LLM integration via Ollama is available. Built for teams in regulated industries where data residency and vendor independence aren't optional.

### Ask Zia, your AI assistant powered by MCP

- Applications Manager's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration enables Zia to securely work with your live monitoring data—monitors, alarms, and metrics—making monitoring intelligence accessible to every team member, not just senior engineers who know the stack.
- Ask questions about your application stack in plain language, such as: "What's down right now?", "Why is checkout slow?", "What's going to run out of space this month?", and get direct answers with recommended next steps.
- Go deeper with built-in specialist agents, each one an expert in its own domain. Whether it's infrastructure, databases, or application performance, pick the agent that fits the job and get context-aware answers for that specific area.

### Leverage GenAI powered contextual insights

- Get a structured AI-generated analysis of any monitor — on demand, from any monitor's detail page.
- Goes beyond a plain summary by evaluating configured thresholds and active alarms alongside recent metric data, so you get a complete picture of current health and risk.
- The AI Insight panel delivers a health summary, active alarm correlation, operational risk assessment, probable root cause, and prioritized actions — all in one view.

### Reduce alert fatigue with AI Alarms Summary

- When hundreds of alarms fire at once, AI Alarms Summary analyzes them together—across applications, servers, databases, and infrastructure—and tells you where the problem actually started.
- Related alarms are automatically grouped and correlated, so your on-call engineer sees a coherent incident story instead of an overwhelming list. No more dashboard-hopping under pressure.
- Recurring failures, time-based anomalies, and patterns you'd only catch if you had time to dig through weeks of alarm history are flagged automatically, before they escalate into outages.

## Machine learning features

Works out of the box - no Gen AI integration required.

### Predict issues before they escalate with Forecast alerts

- Analyzes historical trends to predict future performance behavior and trigger alerts before thresholds are breached.
- Detects gradual degradation early—growing storage, creeping memory—so your team acts before service delivery is impacted.
- Configurable alert rules with aggregates, threshold timelines, and rearm values for fine-tuned forecast accuracy.

### Ensure monitoring accuracy with adaptive thresholds

- Dynamically calculates acceptable performance limits based on historical behavior, so alerts are triggered only for genuine deviations.
- ML-powered anomaly detection identifies sudden spikes immediately, reducing false positives and alert fatigue.
- Combines standard and anomaly-based thresholds with automatic and manual modes for full flexibility.

### Leverage Zia for actionable insights

- Consolidates predictive alert data into a single intelligent dashboard—a clear, at-a-glance view of upcoming performance risks.
- Turns foresight into action with precise, Zia-generated recommendations for your IT team.
- Correlates forecast trends across your app stack for smarter, proactive planning.

### Scale with confidence with ML based capacity planning dashboard

- Visualizes long-term resource consumption trends across applications, databases, and servers.
- Delivers predictive insights into storage, memory, and compute growth—preventing resource exhaustion before it causes downtime.
- Empowers data-driven infrastructure scaling decisions rather than reacting to capacity gaps after the fact.

## Use case scenarios

See how Applications Manager's AI and ML capabilities solve real operational challenges.

### GenAI Integration

#### The Scenario

A critical application server goes down. Your team has access to alarm history, device metrics, and dependency data — but it's spread across screens and takes time to interpret, delaying the path to resolution.

#### How Applications Manager Helps

- GenAI integration harnesses the power of LLMs, including OpenAI's GPT, Google AI, and Anthropic's Claude, to interpret complex monitoring data and generate human-readable summaries, recommendations, and remediation steps instantly.
- Teams can review alarm history, assess impact, and set AI-generated recommendations as notes for technicians to make faster decisions.

### AI Alarms Summary

#### The Scenario

When a database cluster degrades, it can trigger a cascade of alarms within minutes, spanning databases, dependent microservices, and load balancers. The on-call engineer is flooded with alerts, making it hard to distinguish the root cause from the noise.

#### How Applications Manager Helps

- Instead of clicking through individual alarms one by one, AI Alarms Summary analyzes all triggered alarms together and pinpoints the originating issue, such as a degraded database cluster, in seconds.
- Cascading alarms from dependent microservices and load balancers are automatically grouped and contextualized, so engineers see a coherent story rather than an overwhelming list of disconnected alerts.

### Forecast alerts

#### The Scenario

Your application servers are showing steady memory and disk growth as user traffic scales. With static thresholds, your team only gets alerted when limits are already breached.

#### How Applications Manager Helps

- With Forecast alerts, IT teams can identify gradual resource growth early, whether it's an expanding database or increasing storage, and schedule remediation before service delivery is impacted.
- Configurable alert rules with threshold timelines and rearm values ensure alerts are precise and actionable, eliminating noise while keeping your team ahead of potential failures.

### Zia dashboard

#### The Scenario

Your IT team manages dozens of applications across a complex stack. Forecast data flags potential risks, but without visibility into their impact or a clear path to resolution, teams are left reacting to incidents instead of preventing them.

#### How Applications Manager Helps

- The Zia Dashboard consolidates predictive alert data into one intelligent view, giving teams a clear picture of upcoming performance risks across the entire app stack.
- Zia takes forecasting beyond alerting. For example, when a Apache Tomcat server is trending toward memory exhaustion, it surfaces the projected impact on application performance and delivers precise recommendations to resolve it, well before the incident occurs.
