Agent Tooling Configuration
Release Status
This feature is currently in Early Access, with features and documentation subject to change. To access this feature, sign up here.
Overview
SRE Agent can retrieve log data from observability platforms such as Grafana, Datadog, AWS CloudWatch and runbooks from sources like Confluence and GitHub. By analyzing these logs and runbooks, SRE Agent guides responders through investigation, triage, and resolution—ultimately reducing MTTR and escalations.
Integrations - Documents/Runbooks
To allow SRE Agent to access documents in Confluence or GitHub, ensure the necessary prerequisites are set up.
Confluence
- Set up the Workflow Integration and select Allow SRE Agent Access.
- In your monitoring tool, update the event payload to include your Confluence runbook link in custom_details to include the following nested key:
"custom_details": {
       "runbook_url": {
            "confluence": "https://YOUR-RUNBOOK-LINK"
    }
GitHub
- Set up the Workflow Integration and select Allow SRE Agent Access.
- In your monitoring tool, update the event payload to include your GitHub runbook link in custom_details to include the following nested key:
"custom_details": {
       "runbook_url": {
            "github": "https://YOUR-RUNBOOK-LINK"
    }
Integrations - Logs
Users can prompt SRE Agent to fetch and analyze logs, or use nudge buttons to do the same. Nudges appear only when the agent believes there’s enough information to execute a query. If asked to run a query without sufficient information, the agent will ask the user for more details.
Grafana, Datadog, & AWS CloudWatch
To allow SRE Agent to fetch and analyze logs from one of these services, set up the Workflow Integration and select Allow SRE Agent Access.
Best Practices
- Log queries will work best if there are query examples in the runbook or alert payload (sample query in alert payload can be in any custom_detail field).
- Users can also directly provide queries to the agent to help ensure accurate log search.
Prompt Examples
- @pagerduty can you please fetch the logs for this incident?
- @pagerduty can you search the logs with this criteria [enter criteria]?
