Description
In this video, we introduce Selector, an AIOPs platform designed to monitor network and infrastructure devices, identify faults, and provide advanced analytics. The platform supports multivendor telemetry and integrates with collaboration tools like Slack and Teams as well as ticketing systems. You’ll see how Selector helps manage network devices, with an overview of the dashboard and alerts system. We also demonstrate how users can interact with Selector, view device statuses, and take immediate action to resolve issues. Finally, the video shows how Slack can be used to retrieve network insights, including device statuses and alerts for specific timeframes.

John: Selector is an AOPS platform used to monitor network and infrastructure devices, identify and manage faults, and provide in-depth analytics. The platform is multivendor, supporting a wide range of telemetry. Users primarily interact with the platform via the UI and collaboration tools such as Slack and Teams, which we’ll be showing in this video. It is also capable of integrating with ticketing systems and driving remediations.
This is an example of a Selector dashboard. Each honeycomb represents a device and its status. A red honeycomb represents a device with issues. By clicking on a device, I can see more details about what is violating on that device. In this case, I have two interfaces with issues at the moment. I can right-click on this interface and take immediate action, such as balancing the port or paging tier one.
Scrolling down, I’ll see details about the device at the device level, such as errors, discards, optics, and latency. Clicking on the interface, I’ll see more interface-level details, such as anomaly interface, the admin state, as well as different counters. As I scroll down, I can see that the discard counter continues to increase, which is causing this interface to be in violation.
When we find issues in the network, we can also create alerts. This is an example of an alert dashboard. The ones that are in green are resolved, meaning that the issue has resolved itself. Anything that’s in a firing state is still an open issue at this time.
In the final part of the demo, we’ll show you how you can use Slack to interact with the platform. The first thing we’ll do is use a “SL select” command to engage with our bot. We’re going to ask the status of the network in the last 12 hours. When I run that, it’s going to interact with the platform and pull back a visual representation of the network status, as well as a link and description of devices that have issues.
I can also retrieve that data in different formats, such as showing a table of devices with issues in the last 24 hours. In this case, we’re going for a longer period of time—24 hours—and we’re asking for any device with issues. Here, you can see the devices with issues, as well as the actual issues they are having.
Thank you.
