AI Driven Automated Fault Detection and Resolution Workflow

Automated Fault Detection and Resolution

1. Fault Detection

1.1 Data Collection

Utilize AI-driven tools to gather real-time network performance data, including traffic patterns, error rates, and latency metrics.

• Example Tools: Cisco’s AI Network Analytics, Juniper’s Mist AI

1.2 Anomaly Detection

Implement machine learning algorithms to analyze the collected data and identify deviations from normal operating conditions.

• Example Tools: IBM Watson AIOps, Splunk IT Service Intelligence

1.3 Alert Generation

Automatically generate alerts for network operators when anomalies are detected, prioritizing issues based on severity and impact.

• Example Tools: PagerDuty, ServiceNow

2. Fault Diagnosis

2.1 Root Cause Analysis

Employ AI algorithms to correlate anomalies with potential root causes by analyzing historical data and current network configurations.

• Example Tools: Moogsoft, Dynatrace

2.2 Impact Assessment

Evaluate the potential impact of the detected fault on network performance and customer experience using predictive analytics.

• Example Tools: NetBrain, SolarWinds

3. Fault Resolution

3.1 Automated Remediation

Implement automated scripts and AI-driven workflows to resolve common faults without human intervention.

• Example Tools: Ansible, Puppet

3.2 Human Intervention

For complex issues that require human expertise, escalate alerts to network engineers with detailed diagnostic information and suggested actions.

• Example Tools: Atlassian Jira, Microsoft Teams

4. Continuous Improvement

4.1 Feedback Loop

Gather feedback from network operators on the effectiveness of the automated processes and refine AI models accordingly.

• Example Tools: Google Cloud AI, Azure Machine Learning

4.2 Performance Monitoring

Continuously monitor network performance post-resolution to ensure that the fault has been effectively addressed and to prevent future occurrences.

• Example Tools: Zabbix, Nagios
