When enabled

Advantages

AIOps Root Cause Isolation

You can view the root cause isolation of impacted services with causal nodes, events, topology, and metrics data.

Requires AIOps Situations to be enabled.

AIOps root cause isolation gives the ability to predict the most likely causes of an issue in an infrastructure environment or business service by analyzing the AIOps Situations. 

AIOps Situations

You can monitor and investigate the AIOps Situations (also known as ML-based Situations) along with the policy-based Situations. 

AIOps Situation uses the AI/ML algorithms to detect event noise automatically, cluster events, and displays situations. This reduces the mean time to detect and resolve issues significantly. The advantage of this ML-based Situations is that you do not need to create policies to create situations.

Intelligent Automations

You can create, request, and execute automation actions to remediate Services or Situations.

Remediate open events in services and situations to resolve critical, major, or minor events and bring the overall service health back to normal.
