Automated root cause analysis

Drive operational efficiency with automated incident investigation and remediation.

Challenge

Stop chasing symptoms instead of root causes.

Chaotic bridge calls

Team members jump on at various times without context or full understanding of the issue.

Manual triage

Teams spend too much time sifting through logs, correlating events, and hunting for related information.

Missing context

Teams struggle to locate root causes and leap to conclusions without thoroughly analyzing data.

Cognitive load

Teams switch between multiple, poorly integrated tools to extract meaningful insights.

Overview

BMC Helix’s agentic root cause analysis applies context, pinpoints root causes, and recommends fixes so teams can troubleshoot faster at scale.

  • Improved reliability

    Speed and accuracy in identifying root causes and resolving them to improve system reliability and reduce downtime.

  • Faster MTTR at scale

    Troubleshooting complex systems that used to take 30 minutes is now resolved in under five minutes.

  • Cost efficiency

    Pinpoint the most critical issues and their root causes to focus resources on high-priority problems.

Capabilities

Key capabilities for root cause analysis

Root Cause Finder

This AI agent orchestrates a system of diagnostic AI agents to analyze telemetry and change data, correlate similar events, and identify the most likely root causes with supporting evidence.

Agentic RCA workflow

Automated, multi-step analysis plans that analyze signals, validate findings, and converge on probable root causes.

Causal AI

Determine the cause-and-effect relationship of events from a combination of metrics, traces, logs, and change data.

Actionable recommendations

Get clear root cause analysis summaries with step-by-step remediation guidance.

Noise reduction

Deduplication and correlation of data before AI analysis cuts costs and improves speed.

AI-powered service modeling

Understand and model the cause-and-effect relationships between different applications, APIs, networks, and infrastructure layers.
