Automating BGP Troubleshooting with Kentik AI Advisor

In this demo, we use Kentik AI Advisor to troubleshoot a real-world BGP misconfiguration that brings down a peering session with a transit provider. You’ll see how AI Advisor works both as a dedicated page and as an in-portal overlay, using natural language to identify the affected interface, correlate SNMP and syslog data, and pinpoint a maximum-prefix issue as the root cause. Then we accelerate and standardize the workflow with custom network context and AI-powered runbooks, so every engineer can troubleshoot BGP alerts like an expert.
