About Agent0

Overview

Dash0 allows you to interact with your telemetry data, perform troubleshooting tasks, and manage your observability setup using natural language — no PromQL expertise or deep OpenTelemetry knowledge required.

Agent0 acts as a sidekick throughout your entire observability journey: from instrumenting your first service, to monitoring your infrastructure, to triaging incidents at 2 a.m.

Whether you're setting up instrumentation for the first time or investigating a production incident under pressure, the use cases below reflect the tasks teams encounter most frequently.

1. Instrument a Service

Ask Agent0 how to instrument a new service in your preferred language. It provides step-by-step guidance based on official OpenTelemetry documentation and links to relevant resources.

Routes to the Pathfinder agent, which returns a tailored instrumentation guide.

2. Explore Monitored Services

Get an overview of all services currently sending data, including request rates, error rates, and latency summaries.

3. Check Active Alerts

Query which alerts are currently firing across your environment.

4. Triage an Incident

When an alert fires, Agent0 performs automated root cause analysis. It retrieves metrics, logs, traces, and spans for the affected service, correlates the signals, and presents a structured analysis.

The Seeker agent will: retrieve service health metrics, pull alert details, fetch error logs and traces, perform outlier and error filtering on spans, and correlate everything into a root cause analysis. The output is a structured Issue Analysis containing the error rate, identified root causes, affected operations, and remediation guidance.

5. Create Dashboards and Alerts

Generate dashboards and alert configurations for any monitored service.

The Architect agent produces a ready-to-use dashboard (deployable with one click) and alert expressions you can apply directly.

6. Analyze Traces and Spans

When investigating a trace with thousands of spans, Agent0 identifies erroneous spans, outliers, and anomalies without manual scrolling.
