Cognition: AI Analysis and Reports

The Skytells AI engine audits your Cognition event data and generates a structured report covering errors, threats, runtime health, and recommended actions. Available in Console under Cognition / AI Analysis.

AI Analysis and Reports require a Pro plan or higher. See Plans for a tier comparison, or Upgrade to Pro ↗ directly.

When Cognition sends events to Skytells, the AI engine audits them and builds a structured report. This isn't a raw log dump — it's a human-readable assessment that groups patterns, identifies correlations between errors and runtime conditions, and lists specific recommended actions.

AI Analysis Tab

Console: Cognition Console ↗ → AI Analysis tab

The AI Analysis tab is where the generated report lives. It's organised into sections:

SectionWhat the AI covers
Health SummaryA written assessment of your application's current state across all event types
Error AnalysisGrouped error patterns, recurrence trends, affected users, and root-cause hypotheses
Security AuditThreat classification, attack pattern recognition, and suggested mitigations
Runtime AssessmentAnomaly correlation — for example, heap growth before an error spike, or ELU increases under traffic load
RecommendationsPrioritised, actionable next steps based on the full event picture
Historical ComparisonHow current metrics compare to the previous reporting period

The report updates automatically as new events arrive. There is no manual refresh.

Configuring the AI Engine

The AI engine is configured per project in the Console:

  1. Open the Cognition Console ↗
  2. Go to the AI Analysis tab
  3. Open AI Settings

From there you can control:

  • What it monitors — choose which event types feed the analysis
  • Thresholds — define the conditions that trigger escalation or action
  • Actions — what the AI does when a condition is met: report, alert, or auto-remediate
  • Reporting cadence — how often the AI refreshes its assessment

AI configuration is project-scoped. Different projects can have different AI behaviors, thresholds, and actions configured independently.

Live Events

Console: Cognition Console ↗ → Live tab

The Live tab streams events from your application in real time. You'll see errors, runtime snapshots, security threats, anomalies, and trace spans as they arrive, without refreshing the page.

This is useful for:

  • Verifying the SDK — confirm events are coming through right after a deployment
  • Watching a rollout — keep an eye on error rates and anomalies while a new version goes out
  • Tracking an active incident — see the exact sequence of events as they happen

Live events aren't paginated history. For historical queries, use the Errors, Security Threats, or Runtime Health tabs.

  1. The SDK batches and ships events to dsn.skytells.ai via the transport pipeline
  2. The ingestion layer fans events to both the Live stream and the AI engine
  3. The AI engine audits the incoming data against your project's history and configuration
  4. A structured report is written or updated in the AI Analysis tab
