Tips for Getting Better Results
Use these best practices to help Copilot return clearer, more accurate answers.
Describe what you see on the screen
Briefly narrate the visible context before asking your question.
Examples:
- “I see 7 correlated alerts firing within 30 seconds.”
- “This alert shows repeated UnknownHostException errors.”
Name the exact entity
Specify alert IDs, resource names, inference IDs, ticket numbers, or policies.
Examples:
- “Analyze alert 122276058.”
- “Show metrics for resource vm-prod-01.”
Scope the time window
Narrow the time range when results are broad or responses are slow.
Examples:
- “Check alerts from last 1 hour.”
State the pattern you notice
Call out repeating symptoms, synchronized failures, spikes, or flatlines.
Examples:
- “Multiple integrations fail simultaneously.”
- “The graph spikes then flatlines.”
Narrate the sequence of events
Describe the order you observe to add temporal cues.
Examples:
- “CPU spiked, then network errors started.”
- “First alert at 06:57, two more 20s later.”
Highlight contrasts or anomalies
Point out what’s different or doesn’t fit the pattern.
Example:
- “All show DNS failures except Zendesk, which returns 403.”
Guide Copilot’s attention
Tell Copilot what looks important, so it prioritizes the right evidence.
Examples:
- “Focus on the repeat count.”
- “Check the 403 versus DNS errors.”
Converse naturally with follow-ups
Build step-by-step instead of rewriting the question.
Examples:
- “Show your evidence.”
- “Which resources were impacted?”
- “Explain that more simply.”
If Copilot cannot answer—ask why
Use: “Why couldn’t you find an answer?” Then refine with the missing context Copilot identifies.
