What the AI SRE does
- Fetch evidence by time — Ask for “what happened between 2:00 and 2:15?” or “show me errors in the last 30 minutes.” The bot retrieves logs, traces, and metrics from Rocketlog for that window and summarizes or links to evidence.
- Fetch evidence by deployment — Ask for “what changed in deployment 1.2.3?” or “telemetry for the last deploy of checkout-service.” The bot uses deployment and instance context (see Log enrichment) to pull relevant telemetry.
- Summarize and suggest — The AI can summarize failures, point to likely root causes, and suggest next steps, using the same correlation and analysis you get in the Rocketlog dashboard.
Setup
- Install the Rocketlog Slack app — From the Rocketlog dashboard (or your admin’s link), add the Rocketlog app to your Slack workspace. Authorize the requested scopes (e.g. channels, chat, commands).
- Connect your workspace — Link your Rocketlog account/org to the Slack workspace so the bot can access your telemetry.
- Invite the bot — Invite the Rocketlog bot into the channels where you run incidents (e.g.
#incidents,#on-call). You can also DM the bot for private triage. - Configure permissions — Ensure the bot has access to the projects/environments you want to query (e.g. production). Your Rocketlog admin can restrict which data the Slack bot can see.
Using the bot
- In a channel — Mention the bot (e.g.
@Rocketlog what failed in the last 10 minutes?) or use a slash command if configured (e.g./rocketlog last 10m). - By deployment — Ask for evidence around a specific deployment or release; the bot uses deployment tags and time ranges to fetch the right data.
- By service — Ask for a specific service (e.g. “checkout-service errors in the last hour”) to narrow results.
