Have AI agents fix standard incidents
Operations teams have standard incidents in systems fixed automatically
Fits: IT & software development
Recurring incidents such as full disks, hung services or expired certificates are fixed according to your runbook before anyone is woken up at night. The on-call team looks after what really needs experience.
Is this for you?
- You have incidents that keep occurring in the same way and for which there is a written runbook with fixed steps.
- Monitoring and alerts already run centrally, and every alert ends up in a ticket.
- You can give an agent its own service account with tightly limited permissions and log all its actions.
Take an entry from your runbook for a frequent incident, remove server names, addresses and credentials, and use the template below to classify each step: automatic, only with approval, or for a person. First check the conditions under which the agent should stop.
How to go about it
- Write down a frequent incident and its runbook
- Clarify systems, service account and permissions
- Connect the agent to alerts and the runbook
- Only run each fix after approval
- Let the agent fix non-critical incidents on its own
- Check logs and mistakes weekly
