Learn how Operations Copilot from HPE OpsRamp Software empowers IT teams to cut through noise, investigate with clarity, and resolve incidents in record time.

IT operations teams don’t lack information and operational telemetry; they lack the time needed to find the signal from the noise of all the different data sources they have access to during an incident.

Every alert, trace, metric, and log holds a clue, but piecing them together often means jumping across different screens, dashboards, filters, and tools just to answer one basic question: What’s actually going on? The longer that takes, the longer incidents last.

Operations Copilot from HPE OpsRamp Software changes that equation.

By combining conversational AI with real-time operational context, Operations Copilot helps teams investigate faster, cut through alert noise, and move directly to action—all from a single interface. Instead of stitching between contexts manually, engineers can ask Operations Copilot and get guided, evidence-backed answers in seconds. Without the user having to switch between different screens.

Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Takeaway 1: Identify the right problem—instantly

The challenge

Multiple critical alerts are firing. Dashboards are red. You need to know:

• Which resource is most impacted

• Whether the alerts are isolated or part of a pattern

• Where to start before time is lost

Traditionally, this means manual sorting, filtering, and cross-checking—valuable minutes spent before investigation even begins.

With Operations Copilot

From Command Center → Alerts, simply ask:

Which resource is most impacted in the last 8 hours?

Operations Copilot instantly analyzes alert frequency, severity, and patterns across your environment and responds with:

• The most impacted resource

• A summary of critical and open alerts

• Clear direction on where to focus

From there, follow up naturally:

• Show me the open alerts on this resource.

• Analyze these alerts.
• Acknowledge the alert—I’m investigating.

This doesn’t require switching views or manual correlation. Operations Copilot takes in the alert context and generates answers using natural language. Operations Copilot even creates an alert filter for the user to double click on details as needed.

The impact 

Operations Copilot turns alert floods into clarity, reducing triage time from minutes to moments and getting engineers focused on the right issue immediately.

Takeaway 2: From correlated alerts to root cause—without the guesswork

The challenge

Related alerts have been grouped into an inference, but the bigger question remains:

What’s the actual root cause?

Manually answering that involves comparing timestamps, eyeballing metrics, checking topology, and forming hypotheses, which require slow, cognitive work under pressure.

With Operations Copilot

Switch to the Root Cause channel and ask:

Analyze this alert and determine the probable root cause.

Operations Copilot automatically:

• Brings in all correlated alerts

• Analyzes timing, symptoms, metrics, and topology

• Evaluates multiple hypotheses

• Presents a clear, structured explanation

The result: 

• A concise probable root cause summary

• Primary and contributing factors

• A confidence score
• Direct access to supporting evidence and timelines

You can dig deeper with follow-ups like:

• Which alert fired first?

• What resources were impacted?

• Show me the metrics behind this conclusion.

The impact

Operations Copilot delivers the full narrative—backed by evidence—so you don’t have to assemble it yourself. This dramatically shortens investigation cycles, boosts confidence in remediation decisions, and provides clear next steps or possible resolution actions.

Faster investigations. Faster resolutions.

Across every interaction, Operations Copilot does the heavy lifting:

• Automatically pulls the right context

• Correlates data across alerts, metrics, resources, and history

• Maintains conversational continuity

• Guides users toward next best actions

The outcome is tangible:

• Reduces investigation time

• Lowers alert fatigue

• Faster mean time to resolution (MTTR)

• More consistent, repeatable incident response

A smarter way to operate

By removing friction from investigations, Operations Copilot helps teams move faster by focusing on what matters and resolving issues with confidence.

In a world where every minute of downtime counts, Operations Copilot doesn’t just save time, it changes how work gets done.
