From Detection to Resolution: How Selector + Itential Deliver AI-Driven Observability and Automated Recovery

Every second counts when it comes to detecting, diagnosing, and resolving network incidents, yet many teams still find themselves stuck in reactive mode, drowning in alerts, manually writing scripts, and managing tickets across disconnected systems. This is where Selector and Itential come in. 

Together, Selector and Itential deliver a powerful, enterprise-ready solution that closes the loop between detection and action. Real-time observability, paired with policy-driven automation, enables the instant resolution of incidents with no manual intervention. 

For a closer look at the integration, view our webinar, “From Insight to Impact: Closing the Loop on Network Ops with Selector and Itential” featuring Selector’s Head of DevRel, John Capobianco, and Itential’s Director of Tech Evangelism, William Collins. 

AI-Driven Observability Meets Automated Remediation

The Selector + Itential integration creates a closed-loop, event-driven workflow designed for modern infrastructure teams. Here’s how it works: 

  • Selector detects the issue: Our platform ingests telemetry, logs, metrics, and events from across your environment, using AI and machine learning to correlate anomalies, identify root causes, and trigger automated workflows. 
  • Itential launches remediation: Itential’s platform receives the trigger and executes a policy-based remediation workflow – automatically validating, enforcing policies, and tracking every step along the way. 
  • End-to-end automation: Whether it’s resetting a port, updating a config, or spinning up additional resources, Itential ensures that changes are validated and documented, with no human lag or guesswork. 

This is observability and automation working in sync – from detection, to decision, to deployment.

A Real-World Example: Automated Port Reset

Imagine a scenario where a critical port goes down: 

  1. Selector detects the anomaly, correlates it with related events, and identifies the failed port. 
  2. Itential is triggered via API, launching a predefined workflow. 
  3. A ServiceNow ticket is automatically created, maintaining the integrity of your ITSM processes. 
  4. Itential enriches data from inventory sources like NetBox, runs pre-checks, and validates the failure. 
  5. Automated remediation is executed (e.g., the port is reset). 
  6. Post-checks confirm success, updates are synced, and the ticket is closed. 
  7. Selector and Itential maintain complete visibility, ensuring the issue is resolved completely. 

All of this happens without a single manual script, ticket update, or context switch – dramatically reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).
