In this demo, we use Kentik AI Advisor to troubleshoot a real-world BGP misconfiguration that brings down a peering session with a transit provider. You’ll see how AI Advisor works both as a dedicated page and as an in-portal overlay, using natural language to identify the affected interface, correlate SNMP and syslog data, and pinpoint a maximum-prefix issue as the root cause. Then we accelerate and standardize the workflow with custom network context and AI-powered runbooks, so every engineer can troubleshoot BGP alerts like an expert.

Happy Holidays from your friends at Kentik! We hope you enjoy our traditional, heartwarming tale of a data packet struggling to reach its destination.

Learn how artificial intelligence is transforming network operations through Kentik's AI Advisor platform. Philip Gervasi and Sean McGinley discuss the evolution from traditional network visibility to network intelligence, emphasizing that AI should augment, rather than replace, network engineers. They demonstrate how Kentik's AI Advisor uses natural language interfaces to perform automated root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and cost optimization.
