What it is
BMC Helix AIOps provides service monitoring, event management, root cause analysis, and remediation for infrastructure operations. It tracks services in real time and shows their health in a severity-coded heatmap. When a service is affected, the product correlates related events, identifies a root cause, ranks impacted nodes, and displays effects across related services. AI and machine learning group events into situations to reduce noise and surface issues during event storms. The product can ingest events, metrics, logs, traces, and topology data from BMC and third-party sources. Connected to BMC HelixGPT, it can provide AI-generated best-action recommendations, log insights, and a virtual agent for investigating situations. Documented incident integrations through HelixGPT include BMC Helix ITSM, Jira Service Management, and ServiceNow ITSM; external log sources include Splunk Enterprise and Elasticsearch. It also connects to BMC Helix ITSM for change-risk information. Pricing is on request, with no public price listed. BMC says customers must contact Support to enable HelixGPT features for AIOps.
