Network Incident Management

AI-powered L1/L2 triage automation for SD-WAN and SASE environments that auto-triages ≥70% of recurring connectivity tickets, resolves ≥50% at L1/L2, and cuts MTTR by ≥40%.

Challenge

Support teams handle a high volume of recurring SD-WAN connectivity and performance tickets in mixed SD-WAN and SASE environments. Tooling and ownership are siloed across controllers, security stacks, and DDI platforms, so L1/L2 agents rely on tribal knowledge, manual log scraping, and frequent L3 escalations. Repeat offenders include DNS reachability and slowness, policy changes that block traffic, HA failover blocked by configuration drift, missing VLANs on trunks, DHCP scope mismatches, and STP misconfigurations—driving long MTTR and service disruption.

+
The objective

Auto-triage ≥70% of recurring SD-WAN tickets and resolve ≥50% at L1/L2; cut MTTR by ≥40%; reduce L3 escalations by ≥35%, with compliant updates to ITSM, CMDB, and controller audit logs.

Solution: How the AI layer changed the operating model

Learning and setup

Powered by Bruviti’s AI Operating Layer, the agent solution applied its predictive, policy, diagnostic, and NLP models backed by an ontology-driven knowledge graph. Training data came from historical tickets and resolutions, device configuration snapshots, SD-WAN and SASE logs and telemetry, provisioning and change history, troubleshooting guides and SME notes, CMDB, and feedback from resolved cases. This enabled the AI agent to recognize and interpret device and site IDs, circuit and carrier IDs, link health metrics, DNS and DHCP data, policy versions and diffs, VLAN IDs and trunk state, HA status, STP state, syslogs, NetFlow, change tickets, maintenance windows, and severity.

Workflow orchestration

The AI agent reads new or updated tickets from ITSM, extracts identifiers, and selects the path to test DNS, inspect policy drift, validate routes, and confirm HA readiness, VLAN and DHCP health, and STP stability. It navigates SD-WAN controllers, SASE consoles, DDI platforms, SIEM and log stores, mirroring the steps a seasoned network engineer would take. Orchestration logic branches—for example, if policy version drift or change outside a maintenance window is detected, the agent prioritizes rollback or opens a gated change—while enforcing guardrails and auditability.

Execution and resolution

The AI agent correlates recent changes with symptoms, runs DNS reachability and latency tests, validates security rules and route maps, detects VLAN, DHCP, and STP inconsistencies, and checks HA failover readiness. It proposes ranked root causes with confidence, generates guided playbooks for L1/L2, and auto-executes safe remediations behind guardrails—such as policy rollback, DHCP scope fix, or VLAN tagging—after impact simulation and approvals when required. Responses complete in minutes, with evidence posted to ITSM, CMDB, and controller audit logs. Exceptions—such as multi-domain outages, missing telemetry, or conflicting policies—are routed to support engineers with structured summaries and next best actions attached.

Frequently asked questions

How does AI automate network incident triage for field service teams?

AI reads incoming support tickets, extracts device and site identifiers, correlates symptoms with recent configuration changes, and runs diagnostic tests across network controllers and security platforms. It proposes ranked root causes with confidence scores and generates guided playbooks, enabling L1 and L2 teams to resolve issues without escalating to senior engineers.

What is AI-driven root cause analysis for SD-WAN connectivity issues?

AI-driven root cause analysis correlates network telemetry, configuration snapshots, and change logs to pinpoint why connectivity degraded. The system tests DNS reachability, validates routing policies, checks VLAN and DHCP health, and detects configuration drift, delivering ranked probable causes in minutes rather than hours of manual log analysis.

How can AI reduce mean time to resolution for network support tickets?

AI reduces mean time to resolution by automating the diagnostic steps that support agents perform manually. The system simultaneously tests multiple failure hypotheses, cross-references device state with known issue patterns, and either auto-remediates safe fixes or provides engineers with structured evidence and next-best-action recommendations for faster resolution.
