What is Selector Analytics?

Selector employs machine learning and NLP-driven, self-serve analytics to provide access to actionable insights. Selector Analytics uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to conduct three essential functions and provide actionable insights to network, cloud, and application operators.

Collect: Selector Analytics collects any data (including configurations, alerts, metrics, events, and logs), from various heterogeneous data sources. For example, Selector Analytics may harvest data from router logs, device or network metrics, or device configurations.

Correlate: Once collected, Selector Analytics normalizes, filters, clusters, and correlates metrics, events, and alarms using pre-built workflows to draw actionable insights. Selector Analytics then uses machine learning-based data analytics to compare metrics and events and conduct automated anomaly detection. If an anomaly is uncovered, Selector’s AIOps solution issues an automatic alert and uses a ranking system to shortlist factors potentially responsible for the network outage.

Collaborate: Business and technical leaders want instant, concise status reports without writing SQL queries or building new dashboards. Selector Analytics supports Natural Language Queries directly integrated into common messaging platforms such as Slack and Microsoft Teams, providing a conversational chatbot experience. Selector’s AIOps solution infers natural language queries, finds the closest match, and can share query outputs and dashboards with larger workflows such as IT-service management ticketing, alerting, and automation tools.

Reliable Network Diagnostics and Troubleshooting tool that gives great ROI.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As we were scaling our product and acquiring more and more customers, it became difficult for us to manage our infrastructure and DevOps and ensure our Network Health was optimal. We were running into some downtimes and while we were able to figure out the solution later, we did not have an alerting mechanism to know of any possible downtimes that could occur beforehands. This is where Selector Analytics has proven to be super helpful for our SRE and DevOps team. It addresses our concern of being able to monitor network health and gives good analytics for our needs.
