# Telemetry Triage Agent

*/Agents/Telemetry_Triage_Agent*

## Solution Overview

The Telemetry Triage Agent operates as a Tier-1 reliability engineer, monitoring incoming system alerts across distributed infrastructure environments. Upon detecting an anomaly or receiving a PagerDuty webhook, it queries active metric spikes, traces distributed logs, and correlates overlapping incidents into a single unified timeline. The agent generates a deduplicated incident brief containing a root-cause hypothesis, the affected microservices, and a direct link to the applicable mitigation runbook.

Site Reliability Engineering managers and DevOps teams hire this digital worker to eliminate alert fatigue and stop engineers from manually correlating false positives at 3 AM. Instead of responders waking up to blind pings and spending critical minutes stitching together logs from disparate Kubernetes clusters, the agent filters out transient network blips and escalates only verified, context-rich incidents to the human on-call rotation.

Sitting directly above headless observability platforms and log aggregators like Datadog and Splunk, the agent consumes raw metric streams and JSON logs via API. It delivers its triaged briefs directly into dedicated Slack or Microsoft Teams incident channels where human engineers consume the analysis. Because infrastructure remediation carries high operational risk, the agent operates with a strict human checkpoint; it prepares the rollback commands or traffic-rerouting scripts in the chat, but a human engineer must manually authorize the execution.
