Core Concepts

Understand the key concepts and building blocks that make up the OpsWorker platform.

The core unit of work in OpsWorker. An investigation is an AI-driven analysis triggered by an alert that produces root cause and remediation.

Signals are normalized alert events that enter OpsWorker from monitoring systems. Understand how they're ingested and processed.

Alert rules control which incoming signals trigger investigations, how they're enriched, and how notifications are routed.

Specialized AI agents — Kubernetes, Datadog, Git, and Observability — collaborate to gather data and drive investigations.

The lightweight in-cluster agent that collects Kubernetes data on behalf of OpsWorker's AI during investigations and chat.

Workspaces provide logical isolation for clusters, teams, and configurations within your OpsWorker organization.

Clusters are the Kubernetes environments you connect to OpsWorker. Each cluster runs an agent and is scoped to a workspace.

Aggregated views of investigation history, team performance, and system health trends derived from your OpsWorker data.
