Updated over a week ago

What it does

When it runs

Triggered when a new signal is created.

Output

  • Primary category — main technical area (e.g., "network", "email")

  • Secondary categories — related areas (up to 3)

  • Technical tags — specific technologies or symptoms (e.g., "vpn", "outlook", "slow-performance")

  • Affected systems — applications or services mentioned (e.g., "Exchange", "Azure AD")

  • Issue type — outage, performance, error, access, request, or question
