Edwin AI’s Problem Management provides a consolidated view of recurring operation problems detected across insights over time. This page flags problems to help you identify patterns where similar issues repeatedly occur, understand their frequency and impact, and asses how long those problems have persisted.

Edwin AI analyzes historical data to identify insights that are considered similar and have occurred multiple times within a defined time window.

The following are characteristics of a problem:

  • Problems are created based on the event names contained within an Insight
  • Related events are grouped using similar logic as Similar Insights
  • The process is fully automated with minimal configuration

Edwin AI performs recurrence analysis using a 90-day window, meaning insight analysis evaluates results from the past 90 days. If there is a high overlap of event names across insights, they are then grouped into a recurring problem.

Note: Problem management cannot expand beyond a 90-day window as this time.
