Overview
Network Intelligence AI is an AI-powered capability in DvSum that helps users analyze network data, detect incidents, and identify root causes using automated workflows.
It enables users to:
- Ingest network data from external sources
- Run AI-driven analysis on fiber nodes and incidents
- Identify root causes with confidence scores
- Take actions on incidents (assign, prioritize, acknowledge)
Prerequisites
Before using Network Intelligence AI, ensure the required modules are enabled in Module Settings under Administration.
- AI Orchestration must be enabled
- Network Intelligence AI must be enabled
Note:
Enabling Network Intelligence AI automatically sets up the required default configurations such as workflows and collections.
Create Source
A source is required to connect DvSum to your network data system such as NXT. This connection enables data ingestion, which is essential for generating incidents and running AI analysis.
- Go to Data Sources in Administration
- Click Add Source
- Select a data source type (MySQL for NXT)
- Select source type (Cloud / On-Prem)
- Enter all the required connection details.
- Click Test Connection and Save
Default Configuration
Once the NXT source is linked, the system automatically provides the required setup, including:
- Default Collection
- Pre-configured Endpoints (Queries)
- Default Network Analysis Workflow
These components are pre-configured and ready to use, so manual creation is not required.
Note:
Users can review or modify these configurations if needed, but for standard usage, the default setup is sufficient.
Execute Workflow
The workflow is executed to process the ingested data and generate Fiber Node Incidents.
This step triggers the AI analysis using the ingested network data.
Steps:
- Open the Network Analysis Workflow
- Click Execute Now
Alternative Option
- Click on the three dots (⋮)
- Select Add to Job to schedule execution
Notes
- Execute Now runs the workflow immediately without creating a job
- Use Add to Job for scheduled or managed execution
-
Execution can be monitored from:
- Jobs
- Job Execution
Cloning Workflow
The Proactive Workflow can be cloned by selecting Clone from the three-dot (⋮) menu. The cloned workflow is created as a separate asset, allowing its all details to be modified independently of the original collection.
Incident Analysis
After workflow execution, Fiber Node Incidents are automatically created based on the configured queries and ingested data.
- Navigate to Asset Dictionary
- Select Fiber Node Incident as the asset type
- Open the required Incident record
- Go to the Analysis tab

Actions on Incidents
Users can take various actions on a Fiber Node Incident directly from the Actions menu in the incident detail page.
Update Status
Acknowledged
Marks the incident as acknowledged, indicating that it has been reviewed and is being worked on.
Ticketed
Indicates that a ticket has been created for this incident for tracking.
Resolved
Marks the incident as resolved after the issue has been fixed.
Closed
Closes the incident after resolution and validation.
Ignored
Marks the incident as not relevant or not requiring further action.
Route Actions
Re-assign To
Allows users to assign the incident to another user for further investigation or action, with a notification sent via email.
More Actions
Suppress
Used when the incident is known or does not require attention for a certain period.
Suppresses the incident for a specified duration without changing its status. Users are required to enter the suppression time period. During this period, no email notifications will be sent for any updates related to the incident.
Example Use Case
If a user identifies an incident caused by a planned maintenance activity on a fiber node.
Since the issue is expected and already being handled, the user suppresses the incident for a specific duration (e.g., 4 hours) to avoid unnecessary alerts.
This ensures that:
- No email notifications are triggered during the maintenance window
- Normal monitoring resumes automatically after the suppression period ends
Submit AI Feedback
Allows users to provide feedback on AI-generated insights, helping improve future analysis accuracy.
Activity
The Activity section provides a detailed log of all actions and updates performed on a Fiber Node Incident. It helps users track the complete history of the incident lifecycle.
Watch Incident
The Watch option allows users to subscribe to specific incident updates by selecting the conditions under which they want to receive alerts.
Example Use Case
A network operations engineer is monitoring a fiber node incident that is currently low priority (P3) but could impact customers if it worsens.
Instead of tracking the incident manually, the user configures Watch to:
- Get notified when priority increases (e.g., P3 → P1)
This ensures the user is alerted only when:
- The issue becomes critical and requires immediate attention
Priority Increases- Receive notifications when the incident priority is escalated (e.g., P2 → P1).
Remains at current priority for configured number of hours- Receive alerts if the incident stays at the same priority for a configured number of hours.
How It Works
- Users can select one or multiple conditions
- Notifications are triggered only when the selected conditions are met
Re-Analyze Node
Used when users want to refresh analysis after new data is available or to re-evaluate the issue.
Triggers the system to rerun analysis on the selected node in online mode, immediately refreshing insights, root cause, and recommendations without requiring scheduling
Configure Aura AI Agent
The Aura AI Agent provides a simplified configuration experience by allowing users to associate the agent with a Proactive Workflow.
Steps
- Navigate to Data Sources → {REST API Source Name} → AI Agents.
- Click Add Agent.
- Select Aura AI Agent.
- Choose the required Proactive Workflow from the available list.
- Select an execution mode:
- Fast – Prioritizes faster responses.
- Balanced – Balances speed and analysis quality.
- Deep – Performs more comprehensive analysis.
- Save the agent.
Note: The Proactive Workflow list displays all available proactive workflows that can be associated with the Aura AI Agent.
Once the agent is saved, the selected Proactive Workflow is automatically associated with the agent. You can verify this association from the corresponding Workflow details.
Interact with the Aura AI Agent
After the Aura AI Agent is configured, its behavior can be validated using Train Agent or Talk to Your Data before executing the Network Analysis Workflow.
- Navigate to the configured Aura AI Agent.
-
Open Train Agent.
- Enter a prompt related to the Analyze Fiber Node workflow.
- Review the AI-generated response.
