What It Is
The platform's intelligent brain — use conversation instead of digging through charts, and AI instead of manual troubleshooting.
You ask; it queries data, analyzes, and delivers conclusions.
Quick Start
- Configure a model: Configuration → Model Settings → enter your API key
- Start a conversation: AI Platform → type your question
- Get answers: AI automatically queries data and replies
Three Digital Experts
| Expert | Strength | Example |
|---|---|---|
| AI Brain | Understands your question and routes to the right expert | "How is the payment service doing lately?" |
| Query Expert | Queries metrics, traces, topology, and alerts | "QPS trend for order service" |
| Inspection Expert | Proactively finds service anomalies | "Inspect the inventory service" |
In daily use, talk directly to the AI Brain — it routes automatically.
What It Can Do
| Scenario | Example questions |
|---|---|
| Service health | "Which services have the highest error rates?" |
| Performance trends | "How was order service latency over the last hour?" |
| Slow requests | "Find the 5 slowest traces" |
| Dependencies | "Who does payment service call, and who calls it?" |
| Proactive inspection | "Inspect all core services for me" |
| Incident triage | "Order error rate spiked — what caused it?" |
Multi-agent Collaboration
For complex questions, you don't need to break them down — the AI Brain dispatches multiple experts in parallel and returns one consolidated answer.
This is what sets DataBuff apart from a simple chatbot: it doesn't just chat — it gets work done.
