Azure OpenAI (Assistive AI)

Enable Cloudmon's Assistive AI feature to automatically analyse and explain SNMP Traps, Syslog messages, and Windows Event Log entries in plain language, giving your team instant context and troubleshooting guidance for any log event.

Overview

Cloudmon's Assistive AI connects to Azure OpenAI to interpret incoming log entries from SNMP Traps, Syslog, and Windows Event Logs. When you click the AI button next to any log entry, Cloudmon sends the entry to Azure OpenAI and returns a structured breakdown covering an Overview of the event, its potential Impact, a plain-language Summary, and Troubleshoot and Analyse guidance. This allows your team to understand complex or cryptic log messages instantly without needing to cross-reference vendor documentation.

The integration requires an active Azure OpenAI resource with a deployed GPT model. The steps below cover both setting up Azure OpenAI and connecting it to Cloudmon.

Step 1: Set Up Azure OpenAI

Deploy a model and locate the Endpoint URL and API Key for your Azure OpenAI resource in the Azure Portal. Copy both as you will need them in the next step.

Step 2: Configure in Cloudmon

1. Navigate to Settings → Configurations → Integrations. If you are using the MSP version, follow the same path from the MSP view.
2. Locate the Azure OpenAI widget and click the + Add button.
3. Fill in the fields as described in the table below.
4. Click Save.

Once saved, the Assistive AI feature is active across all supported log views in Cloudmon.
