Edge Delta AI Event Destination

Configure the Edge Delta AI Event destination node to send connector events and telemetry data to AI teammates for AI-powered event processing.

Overview

The Edge Delta AI Event destination node sends connector events and telemetry data to AI teammates for AI-powered event processing and automated incident response. This destination enables AI teammates to monitor event streams from connected systems and initiate autonomous investigations when conditions warrant attention.

When you configure your first event connector for AI Team (such as AWS EventBridge, PagerDuty, or GitHub webhooks), Edge Delta automatically creates a special cloud pipeline that routes data to this destination. All event connectors are added as inputs to this AI Team cloud pipeline, with all data routing to the AI Event destination.

This node requires Edge Delta agent version v2.5.0 or higher and is available for Enterprise tier accounts.

Key Features

Support for Non-Log Data Types: Unlike traditional observability destinations, the AI Event destination accepts a wide range of data types beyond logs, including metrics, traces, custom telemetry, and connector-specific payloads. This enables AI teammates to analyze diverse telemetry streams and correlate events across systems.

Enhanced Connector Metadata: The destination preserves and enriches connector metadata, ensuring AI teammates have full context about event sources, connector types, and originating systems when performing investigations.

Autonomous Event Processing: AI teammates monitor the event stream continuously and initiate investigations autonomously when conditions warrant attention, without requiring explicit human prompts.

Example Configuration

The AI Event destination is typically created and configured automatically when you set up event connectors through the AI Team interface. Manual configuration is rarely needed.

How It Works

When event data arrives at the AI Event destination:

  1. Event Reception: The destination receives events from configured connectors (PagerDuty incidents, GitHub pull requests, AWS CloudTrail notifications, security alerts, etc.)
  2. Metadata Enrichment: Connector metadata is preserved and enhanced with context about the source system
  3. AI Team Routing: Events are routed to relevant AI teammates based on their specializations and connector access
  4. Autonomous Processing: OnCall AI and specialized teammates analyze events, initiate investigations, and report findings in channels
  5. Context Preservation: Event context is maintained across interactions, building understanding over hours or days

Configuration

The AI Event destination is automatically configured when you:

  1. Navigate to AI Team in the Edge Delta app
  2. Configure an event connector (PagerDuty, GitHub, AWS EventBridge, etc.)
  3. Edge Delta creates the cloud pipeline with the AI Event destination

No manual configuration is typically required. The destination is managed through the AI Team interface.

Differences from Other Edge Delta Destinations

The AI Event destination differs from other Edge Delta destinations in several ways:

  • Automatic Creation: Created automatically when configuring event connectors, not manually added to pipelines
  • Broad Data Type Support: Accepts all telemetry types, including connector-specific payloads
  • AI-Specific Routing: Routes data to AI teammates rather than observability platforms
  • Metadata Preservation: Maintains rich connector and event metadata for AI analysis
  • Context-Aware Processing: Events are processed with awareness of ongoing investigations and teammate specializations
