Organizations using Microsoft SCOM continue to face a common challenge: collecting monitoring data is easy, but turning that data into actionable insight often requires significant investigation.
That’s why we’re excited to announce the latest release of the free Grafana Dashboards for SCOM.
This release includes a number of dashboard enhancements and usability improvements, along with support for integration with the new Silect Assistant for SCOM.
Bringing AI to the Grafana Experience
Grafana has become a popular way to visualize SCOM data, providing operations teams with modern dashboards that make it easier to monitor the health and performance of their infrastructure.
While dashboards provide visibility, administrators are often left with questions such as:
- Why did this alert occur?
- Is this a recurring problem?
- What changed recently?
- Are there related events or performance anomalies?
- What should I investigate next?
The new integration between the Grafana Dashboards for SCOM and the Silect Assistant helps bridge this gap by allowing users to launch AI-powered investigations directly from the dashboard context they are viewing.
For example, while reviewing a dashboard displaying server performance, active alerts, or application health, users can open the Silect Assistant and begin asking questions using natural language. The Assistant can then leverage SCOM data to help investigate issues, analyze trends, and accelerate troubleshooting.
Designed for IT Operations
Unlike general-purpose AI tools, the Silect Assistant is specifically designed for IT Operations and Microsoft SCOM environments.
The solution can assist with tasks such as:
- Alert investigation
- Root cause analysis
- Performance trend analysis
- Alert enrichment
- Monitoring configuration guidance
- Operational reporting
- Knowledge retrieval from attached datasets
The goal is simple: help operations teams spend less time gathering information and more time resolving issues.
