The Edwin AI Similar Incidents Agent analyzes incoming incidents and identifies historical incidents that share similar characteristics. It evaluates metadata, descriptions, categorization, resolution notes, and other incident fields to surface previous incidents with comparable symptoms, root cause analysis (RCA), and remediation approaches. This enables you to accelerate troubleshooting and maintain consistent operational workflows. 

When incident records are ingested into LogicMonitor, Edwin AI uses their descriptions, resolution notes, categories, and historical trends to power the following capabilities:

  • Historical incident lookups
  • RCA comparison and pattern detection
  • Remediation recommendations based on similar past incidents

You can use natural-language queries with the Similar Incident Agent to retrieve related incidents, such as requesting the root cause from similar incidents or asking how previous incidents associated with the same alert were resolved. 

You can ask the Similar Incident Agent the following types of questions: 

  • “Find similar past incidents for this insight.”
  • “What was the root cause in similar incidents?”
  • “Show me how previous incidents tied to this alert were resolved.”

Requirements for using the Similar Incidents Agent

  • Have a LogicMonitor Edwin AI account with the AI Agent SKU
  • LMDX Integration version 2.6 or later installed and connected to your ITSM system
    For more information, see Installing LMDX
  • Outbound connectivity from LDMX to LogicMonitor ingestion endpoints
    For more information, see Configuration Records

Enabling LDMX Historical Incident Ingestion for the Similar Incidents Agent

  1. Create a new record in your ServiceNow LMDX application.
    The following configuration value is required:
FieldValue
TableIncident

For more information, see Configure record creation from the new tab menu in Service Operations Workspace from ServiceNow. 

  1. (Optional) To control which incident records LMDX sends to LogicMonitor, you can add filters that help limit ingestion to specific assignment groups, categories, or other fields available in your ServiceNow environment.
    For more information on types of LMDX filters, see Configuration Records
    For more information on filters and how to configure them, see Filters from ServiceNow.
  2. To ensure the Similar Incident Agent can view your historical data, do the following:
    • Enable Load Historical Records
    • Deselect Only Send LMDX Created Records

Note: If you do not complete this step the Similar Incidents Agent will only be able to use data processed from incidents created after the configuration.

  1. (Optional) When configuring trigger fields, you can send all relevant fields to Edwin by entering “Updated” as the value for the trigger field.
    For more information, see Configuration Records
  2. Save your changes to apply the configuration.

To validate the data is being retrieved, you can ask the Agent for information about similar incidents. 

After configuration, the LMDX application can now send incident data from your ServiceNow environment to Edwin AI. The Similar Incidents Agent evaluates this data and identifies historical incidents that match current incidents, enabling RCA and remediation recommendations in Edwin AI.
