Automating BGP Troubleshooting with Kentik AI Advisor

Jan 6, 2026 By Kentik In Kentik
In this demo, we use Kentik AI Advisor to troubleshoot a real-world BGP misconfiguration that brings down a peering session with a transit provider. You’ll see how AI Advisor works both as a dedicated page and as an in-portal overlay, using natural language to identify the affected interface, correlate SNMP and syslog data, and pinpoint a maximum-prefix issue as the root cause. Then we accelerate and standardize the workflow with custom network context and AI-powered runbooks, so every engineer can troubleshoot BGP alerts like an expert.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we unpack David's new white paper on AI governance for agentic systems.

David introduces the Model Control Plane (MoCop), a twelve-pillar framework designed to prevent your AI from going rogue. We cover his roadmap for security leaders to build real controls and telemetry. His advice: treat agents like interns with root access. Get ahead of this before your agents do.
