I took a big-data-analysis approach, which started with another problem visualization. I wanted to understand how I could tune Dynatrace’s problem detection, but to do that I needed to understand the situation first. This is what I wanted to optimize and avoid and many traditional (or homegrown) systems aren’t doing this.

AIOps brings an additional level of analysis to observability, as well as the ability to respond to events that warrant it. While automating IT practices can save administrators a lot of time, without AIOps, the system is only as intelligent as the humans who program it. IT automation, DevOps, and DevSecOps go together.
