AI Troubleshooting for Industrial Networks, Release 1.0.0
AI Troubleshooting for Industrial Networks is an on-premises AI agent for industrial operations. Release 1.0.0 helps maintenance users and network administrators maximize network availability by detecting industrial network issues, diagnosing likely root causes, and providing plain-language remediation guidance. The release brings ambient monitoring, alert triage, AI-assisted investigation, topology context, device inventory, and operational runbooks into one workspace.
New software features
AI Troubleshooting for Industrial Networks features
This section provides a brief description of the software features included in Release 1.0.0.
Table 1. New software features for AI Troubleshooting for Industrial Networks, Release 1.0.0
| Product Impact |
Feature |
Description |
| Better Visibility |
Ambient monitoring |
Continuously monitors industrial network signals and alerts users before issues become longer outages. Receives syslog messages from supported network switches, analyzes them, and creates alert inputs for troubleshooting workflows. |
| Interactive network topology |
Provides a searchable topology map to identify affected switches, interfaces, endpoints, and locations. |
|
| Ease of Process |
Root-cause diagnosis |
Correlates topology, device state, syslog, and configuration evidence to identify likely causes faster than manual investigation. Shows the network evidence used to form recommendations so users can validate findings before taking action. |
| Network discovery and tagging |
Discovers devices and connections from a supported Cisco switch or an uploaded CSV device list, then lets users add tags and custom inventory fields. |
|
| Ease of Use |
Conversational interface |
Lets users ask natural-language questions about devices, connections, VLANs, and network state without signing in to switches. |
| OT-friendly troubleshooting |
Provides plain-language guidance, topology views, asset names, and operational context for industrial network investigations. |
|
| Security |
On-premises data control |
Keeps customer credentials, topology, logs, configurations, and operational data on-premises. Cloud tethering is required to use the tool and supports software updates and agent operational telemetry. |
| Greater Control |
Role-based access |
Provides Admin and OT User roles. Admins maintain the application and data sources; OT Users triage alerts, investigate topology and inventory, and hand off remediation. |
Monitored OT issues
This section lists the industrial network issue areas monitored by AI Troubleshooting for Industrial Networks.
Table 2. Monitored OT issues supported in Release 1.0.0
| Issue area |
Examples of monitored issues |
Why this matters |
| Endpoint offline or degraded |
Port down, err-disabled port, endpoint moved, VLAN mismatch, unreachable device, duplex issues, or error issues. |
Identifies access-layer symptoms and whether an endpoint is offline, moved, or unreachable. |
| Link, cable, and media faults |
Link down or flapping, copper cable faults, fiber or SFP issues, unsupported transceivers, or degraded transceivers. |
Helps determine whether a port, cable, optic, fiber module, or media path is involved. |
| PoE and endpoint power |
PoE disabled, power budget exhausted, port power limit issue, or powered device not detected. |
Identifies whether power conditions make a powered endpoint offline or unstable. |
| Switch power, health, and reachability |
Power-supply issue, input-power loss, redundancy degraded, voltage warning, CPU pressure, memory pressure, or an unreachable switch. |
Determines whether switch health, power, or reachability contributes to the issue. |
| Duplicate IP and L2NAT conflicts |
Duplicate translated IP, L2NAT-reserved IP conflict, or multiple devices claiming the same IP. |
Distinguishes expected translation behavior from addressing conflicts. |
| Power-loss events |
Dying gasp, input-power fault, or device dark after power loss or unplugging. |
Identifies equipment that may have gone offline because of power loss. |
