## Abstract

Systems and methods for intelligent network incident management, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and automated remediation include receiving metrics, graphs, and historic logs associated with network performance of a tenant of the cloud system; identifying a network issue based on the received metrics, graphs, and historic logs; performing an automated RCA to determine a cause of the network issue; and remediating the identified network issue based on the determined cause. Various embodiments include training specialized Large Language Models (LLMs) for performing the automated incident identification, RCA, and remediation.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method implemented by a cloud system comprising steps of:
receiving metrics, graphs, and historic logs associated with network performance of a tenant of the cloud system;
identifying a network issue based on the received metrics, graphs, and historic logs;
performing an automated Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to determine a cause of the network issue; and
remediating the identified network issue based on the determined cause.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the graphs comprise metric trends over a period of time.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the remediation is performed automatically based on one or more remediation scripts.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the network issue is based on one or more metric thresholds.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more metric thresholds are dynamic, and wherein the steps comprise adjusting the one or more metric thresholds via a trained Large Language Model (LLM).

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the metrics, graphs, and historic logs are received from one or more cloud connectors.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the one or more cloud connectors are associated with any of computing devices and enterprise networks.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying a network issue, performing automated RCA, and remediating are each performed by one or more trained Large Language Models (LLMs).

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the steps comprise:
training a first LLM to perform automated identification of network issues;
training a second LLM to perform automated RCA; and
training a third LLM to perform automated remediation of identified network issues.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the tenant is one of a plurality of tenants of the cloud system, and wherein the one or more LLMs are trained based on tenant-specific metrics, graphs, and historic logs.

### Claim 11

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors associated with a cloud system to perform steps of:
receiving metrics, graphs, and historic logs associated with network performance of a tenant of the cloud system;
identifying a network issue based on the received metrics, graphs, and historic logs;
performing an automated Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to determine a cause of the network issue; and
remediating the identified network issue based on the determined cause.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the graphs comprise metric trends over a period of time.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the remediation is performed automatically based on one or more remediation scripts.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein identifying the network issue is based on one or more metric thresholds.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the metrics, graphs, and historic logs are received from one or more cloud connectors.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the one or more cloud connectors are associated with any of computing devices and enterprise networks.

### Claim 18 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the identifying a network issue, performing automated RCA, and remediating are each performed by one or more trained Large Language Models (LLMs).

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the steps comprise:
training a first LLM to perform automated identification of network issues;
training a second LLM to perform automated RCA; and
training a third LLM to perform automated remediation of identified network issues.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)
