Let AI Agents Own Your Monitoring: From Setup to Auto-Fixed Incidents

Aug 20, 2026

Your AI agent can set up your monitoring, report on platform health, and open a PR to fix a failing check. All this works automatically.

In this webinar, Stefan (Developer Relations at Checkly, Google Developer Expert & Playwright Ambassador) demonstrates how Monitoring as Code makes Checkly agent-friendly by design, and walks through three agentic workflows live:

  1. An agent builds your monitoring from scratch

Claude Code initializes Checkly in a Next.js project, discovers existing Playwright tests, converts the critical ones into production monitors, writes API checks and uptime monitors as typed constructs, validates everything with npx checkly test against real infrastructure, and deploys.

  1. Agents report on your platform health

Using the Checkly MCP server, any agent tool can pull live monitoring data and deliver scheduled health briefs. There's no code access required. The agent queries your checks, test sessions, and failures directly from the Checkly infrastructure.

  1. The highlight: the fully automated incident loop

A failing API check triggers a Claude Code routine via webhook. The agent checks out the source code, drills into the monitoring results, reads Checkly's AI root cause analysis, identifies the fix, validates it with a test session, opens a Linear ticket, and submits a pull request — before you've even opened your laptop.
