NOC alarm triage & event correlation

One of many network-operations use cases. This example collapses the alarm storm across many management systems into the one service-impacting incident, with the institutional memory of every incident before it.

Proves these Lumina features

The Reasoning LayerLumina CortexThe BoardroomLocal-First

Episode 1: The Alarm Storm. A storm of a million events collapses to one incident, with auditable lineage. It runs where your data lives, up to fully air-gapped.

The alarm storm

Your NOC drowns. Enterprise teams average more than 10,000 alerts a day, and fewer than 5% require human action. At peak, a national operator can see more than a million alarms a day across two dozen management systems. 85 to 95% is noise.

The root cause is rarely where the symptom appears. It hides across RAN, transport, core, and power, in different schemas. During one national outage, engineers had the diagnostic logs the whole time but could not assemble the answer for 14 hours. The data was there. The reasoning was not.

Why your current tools can't fix this

Traditional approaches were not built for the scale and complexity of modern operations.

01

Rule-based correlation dedupes, it doesn't reason

Correlation engines suppress and group, but they do not reason about service impact across vendor silos. Engineers still stitch context from 25 systems by hand.

02

The memory resets every shift

AIOps starts cold each time. The pattern a senior engineer recognized last quarter is re-learned from scratch, because nothing carried it forward.

03

Single-domain tools miss the real cause

Fault-tree tools work inside one domain. In a multi-vendor 5G network, the cause is in a domain other than the symptom, so single-domain RCA breaks.

04

Buried logs, downgraded risk

When the answer requires assembling logs across systems under time pressure, and a risk algorithm downgrades a change because the first steps looked fine, the real signal stays buried.

The Lumina Approach

How Lumina solves it

Three layers of intelligence working together: reasoning agents, proactive detection, and multi-agent deliberation.

Layer 1

Cross-silo incident reasoning

Agents reason across alarms, telemetry, topology, and tickets from every management system to one service-impacting incident with context. Every correlation runs as a verifiable query against the data you already stream, not a black box.

Every calculation is SQL you can verify. No black box.

Agent Reasoning
SQL-Backed
Agent Reasoning:

Ingesting 41,280 alarms across 23 management systems (last 15 min)... Clustering by topology + timing correlation → 41,280 alarms resolve to 1 root incident Root: backhaul timing fault on aggregation ring AGG-114 Service impact: 38 eNodeBs, ~12,400 subscribers degraded → 3 downstream alarm groups are symptoms, suppressing

All outputs backed by verifiable SQL you can inspect
The Radar
Scanning
Anomaly Detected:

EARLY SIGNAL: Aggregation ring AGG-114 showing timing drift (+0.8ppm over 20 min) Pattern matches pre-cascade signature seen 3x in Cortex memory Confidence: HIGH → Recommend: transport team inspect AGG-114 before customer impact

Proactive hypothesis testing, like anomaly clustering
Layer 2

Catch it before the storm

The Radar continuously scans for the early signature that precedes a cascade: timing drift, error-rate creep, topology stress. It surfaces the incipient fault before the alarm flood begins.

The Radar surfaces issues the operator didn't know to look for. Before they become incidents.

Layer 3

Governed root-cause verdict

RAN, transport, and core agents debate competing hypotheses into one governed root-cause verdict, with the human engineer holding veto. The recommendation is an action for your team to approve, never an unattended change to the network.

The output is grounded in facts (SQL results), not hallucination. Every recommendation carries a full audit trail.

The Boardroom
Deliberation
Multi-Agent Debate:

RAN Agent: 38 cells down, recommend cell-level reset Transport Agent: all 38 sit behind AGG-114, this is transport, not RAN Core Agent: core healthy, no S1 anomalies Cortex: identical signature was a backhaul timing fault in March → Verdict: transport timing fault on AGG-114. Reset cells will not fix it. Route to transport on-call for approval.

Agents vote, challenge, and produce a synthesized recommendation

The result: intelligence that scales

Lumina addresses the four strategic problems that hold operators back.

Scale without headcount

One reasoning layer triages the storm across every vendor system, so engineers see incidents, not alarms. Documented AIOps deployments cut alert volume 80 to 95% and MTTR 50 to 75%.

Reduce reactive costs

Catch the incipient fault before the cascade, and resolve the real one faster. Every hour of a major incident is rig-grade expensive in a telecom network.

Knowledge retention

With Cortex, every triaged incident teaches the system. The 3am signature a senior engineer recognized is institutional memory, not tribal knowledge that retires.

Auditable trust

Every correlation and root-cause claim is backed by a query you can inspect. Recommendations route to your team for approval. Lumina never touches the network of record unattended.

Agents for this use case
