Intelligent Troubleshooting: Diagnose, Fix, Learn

Guide support teams through dynamic diagnostic workflows that adapt based on symptoms, automatically execute fixes, and capture resolution patterns.

The Challenge

Support analysts spend 60% of their time on diagnostic grunt work - checking logs, verifying configurations, testing connectivity - before actual troubleshooting begins. Tribal knowledge lives in senior engineers' heads. Resolution approaches vary wildly by analyst.

Old Way
Analyst manually checks logs across multiple tools
Analyst RDPs to server: "Is the service running?"
Manual connectivity tests: ping, traceroute, DNS checks
"What changed recently?" - manual review of change logs
Junior analysts don't know where to start
Try fix #1, wait for feedback, try fix #2...
Knowledge stays in analyst's head or closed tickets
Escalations lack context - senior engineer starts over
Cenna Logo
Agent auto-collects logs from application, system, network layers and highlights anomalies
Agent verifies service status, dependencies, resource utilization instantly
Agent runs full diagnostics: "DNS correct, firewall blocking port 443"
Agent correlates issue timing with deployments, config changes, patches
Agent applies learned playbooks: "CRM login fails → check SSO → DB connections → app pool"
Agent tests multiple solutions in parallel
Agent captures resolutions, automatically updates playbooks
Complete diagnostic timeline, tests performed, suspected root cause provided

The Difference

Cenna agents handle tedious diagnostics instantly, letting analysts focus on problem-solving. Common issues get resolved autonomously via proven playbooks. Complex problems get escalated with complete context so senior engineers start from insight, not investigation.

The system learns from every resolution - when an engineer discovers an error code indicates certificate issues, Cenna remembers forever.
