AI

Start from a hypothesis,
not a blank screen.

AI-powered root cause scoring, cross-signal correlation, and natural language incident summaries — trained on your own observability data.

THE PROBLEM

Incidents start with a blank screen
and a firing alert.

An alert fires. You have metrics, logs, traces, and events — but no guidance on where to look first. Every engineer on the call starts from scratch. Correlation that should take 2 minutes takes 40. AI Analysis changes the starting point.

Cross-signal correlation is manual

Connecting a metric spike to a log pattern to a recent deploy requires someone who knows the entire system.

Root cause investigation takes too long

The first 30 minutes of an incident is often spent asking "which team owns this?" and "what changed recently?"

Institutional knowledge is a bottleneck

Senior engineers triage faster because they know the system. AI Analysis distributes that knowledge.

WHAT'S MONITORED

Everything AI Incident Analysis captures.

Real signals collected by the Watchlog Agent — available in your dashboard within 60 seconds of enabling.

Root cause scoring

Ranked list of likely causes with confidence percentage, affected services, and supporting evidence.

Cross-signal correlation

AI connects metric anomalies, log patterns, trace errors, and events that occurred in the same blast radius.

Natural language summaries

Human-readable incident report: what happened, what was affected, for how long, and what changed.

Fix suggestions

Ranked remediation actions with confidence scores and links to relevant runbooks.

Similar incident history

Surfaces past incidents that match the current pattern — so you start with the fix that already worked.

Blast radius mapping

Services, hosts, and users affected by the incident — automatically identified from signal correlation.

CAPABILITIES

What AI Incident Analysis gives you.

Confidence-ranked root causes

Every hypothesis ranked by supporting evidence — not a guess, a scored analysis.

Correlated evidence timeline

Visual timeline showing when each contributing signal changed relative to the incident.

Plain-language incident report

AI generates a briefing readable by any engineer — not just the person who built the service.

Automated fix suggestions

Ranked remediation steps based on what has worked for similar past incidents.

Historical incident matching

Find past incidents with matching signal patterns — copy the fix that already worked.

Blast radius estimation

AI maps which services, hosts, databases, and users are in the impact zone.

USE CASES

How engineering teams use AI Incident Analysis.

Database saturation incident

AI correlates: connection pool hit 200, query latency 10×, recent deploy changed ORM config, match to past incident #3820. MTTR: 8 min.

DatabaseRoot CauseMTTR

Memory leak investigation

Heap usage climbs over 4 hours. AI surfaces: deploy v3.2.0, specific service, missing garbage collection call. Engineers have a hypothesis before they even look at a trace.

MemoryLeakAI Correlation

Junior engineer incident response

First on-call shifts are terrifying. AI Analysis gives any engineer a starting point — and reduces escalations to senior staff.

Post-incident retrospective

AI incident report auto-generated and ready for the post-mortem. Timeline, root cause, impact scope, and resolution — in plain language.

PLATFORM FIT

AI Incident Analysis inside the Watchlog platform.

AI Analysis consumes signals from every Watchlog product — infrastructure metrics, logs, APM traces, RUM sessions, and Custom Events — to produce correlated root cause analysis.

QUICK START

Start AI Incident Analysis in under 2 minutes.

No YAML. No complex configuration. The Watchlog Agent handles discovery automatically.

01

Install the Agent

One curl command on your host. The Watchlog Agent starts immediately.

sudo apiKey="$WATCHLOG_API_KEY" server="$WATCHLOG_SERVER" MEMORY="300M" bash -c "$(curl -L https://watchlog.io/ubuntu/watchlog-script.sh)
02

Enable AI Incident Analysis

AI Analysis activates automatically when Watchlog detects an incident. No additional setup required beyond enabling your chosen monitoring products.

03

Data appears in 60s

Root cause analysis appears within minutes of an incident being detected. It improves as Watchlog learns your systems baseline behavior.

GET STARTED

Start monitoring with AI Incident Analysis.

Root cause hypothesis in minutes. Reduce MTTR from hours to single-digit minutes.
