Challenges and Pitfalls of Applying GenAI in Monitoring

Generative AI models such as Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionising software engineering workflows, including monitoring and observability. However, their integration into monitoring systems is far from trivial. This talk explores the practical challenges, limitations, and risks of applying GenAI to observability and monitoring use cases. Through examples and architectural patterns, attendees will gain a realistic understanding of where GenAI adds value, where it introduces risks, and how to integrate it responsibly into monitoring workflows.
