01 A synchronized Investigation Workbench
Inspect metrics, incidents, Flow, logs, events, topology, paths, changes, service telemetry and ITSM activity through a shared scope and time window. Selecting evidence keeps related panes connected to the same investigation.
02 One operational timeline
Place telemetry transitions, routing events, deployments, configuration changes, maintenance, external updates and recovery evidence in sequence. Distinguish event time, observation time and delayed ingestion when reconstructing what happened.
03 Contextual Troubleshoot actions
Open the applicable Ping, path, SNMP, TCP, DNS, SSH, API, configuration or infrastructure checks from the entity or incident. Permissions and technology context determine the available actions while the originating view remains intact.
04 Verify Now and independent vantages
Run a deterministic diagnostic bundle and inspect each result, including unsuccessful or contradictory checks. Compare authorized Sensor or Agent vantages to distinguish a destination issue from a local path or collection problem.
05 Live Evidence with clear provenance
Keep operator-triggered verification distinct from routine monitoring, with result time, vantage, scope and quality. A fresh successful test or failed check can be assessed alongside the historical signal that started the investigation.
06 Investigation Sessions and handover
Collect diagnostic results, notes, CLI references and graph, configuration, Flow or log snapshots in a persistent session. A session can begin before an incident exists and be linked later without losing its original evidence context.
07 Incident Flight Recorder
Preserve a bounded before, during and after evidence window covering the relevant graph, telemetry, paths, events and changes. Review a transient failure after recovery, even when the live estate has moved on.
08 Compare and What Changed?
Compare current state with the pre-incident interval, a baseline, peer entity or approved change. Bring relevant configuration, deployment, routing and other change evidence into view without assuming that temporal proximity proves cause.
09 Deeper evidence with operating control
Use temporary Investigation Mode, endpoint diagnostic snapshots or triggered packet evidence when the case needs more detail. Explicit scope, permissions, time, resource and stop limits govern the collection and its return to normal behavior.
10 From findings to the next team
Link the current hypothesis, evidence, approved runbook, ITSM record and responsible owner. Copilot can summarize authorized findings and suggest permitted checks, while a preserved session supports escalation and post-incident review.
