Kentik in Motion
Learn how artificial intelligence is transforming network operations through Kentik’s AI Advisor platform. Philip Gervasi and Sean McGinley discuss the evolution from traditional network visibility to network intelligence, emphasizing that AI should augment, rather than replace, network engineers. They demonstrate how Kentik’s AI Advisor uses natural language interfaces to perform automated root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and cost optimization. A live demo shows how the system can analyze Azure virtual hub traffic spikes, identify inefficient routing causing high costs, and provide step-by-step CLI configuration guides for VNet peering solutions. Key capabilities highlighted include real-time data analysis, institutional knowledge capture through runbooks, DDoS vulnerability assessment, and the ability to transform complex network data into actionable insights through plain language summaries and recommendations.
Kentik Data Explorer is the heart of Kentik, where raw network telemetry is transformed into actionable insights. Yet many users don’t realize just how much they can do with it, or how Data Explorer connects to other parts of the Kentik platform. In this session, we walk through the fundamentals of using Data Explorer effectively, provide real-world examples, and highlight how it ties into workflows such as alerting, dashboards, and troubleshooting.
