AI Control Plane Architecture
TraceFlux integrates AI modules within a deterministic control plane. AI provides ranking, prediction, and recommendation — while governance, replay validation, and tenant isolation enforce execution authority.
System overview
Telemetry Ingestion Layer
- • Alerts, metrics, logs, flow, BGP, DNS
- • Configuration changes
- • Topology & service graph signals
Deterministic Core
- • Incident formation engine
- • Trust & suppression logic
- • Automation governance
- • Replay & parity validation
- • Immutable audit ledger
AI Intelligence Layer
- • Feature extraction pipeline
- • Signal ranking engine
- • Risk & drift modeling
- • Remediation recommendation engine
- • Investigation assistant
- • Model validation loop
Signal ranking pipeline
- 1. Feature extraction from correlated telemetry.
- 2. Context enrichment with topology and historical patterns.
- 3. Similarity scoring against historical incidents.
- 4. Confidence weighting based on service criticality.
- 5. Annotation of ranked signals within incident timeline.
AI outputs are annotations and prioritization signals. They do not create or merge incidents. Deterministic boundaries remain authoritative.
Predictive risk & drift modeling
Drift and change candidates are evaluated using blast radius graphs, service dependencies, and historical change impact patterns.
- • Risk scoring of configuration drift
- • Predicted affected surface estimation
- • Recommended governance scope
- • Policy evaluation prior to remediation
Execution enforcement contract
- 1. AI generates suggestion or risk annotation.
- 2. Policy engine evaluates eligibility.
- 3. Approval requirements are checked.
- 4. Tenant scope validation is enforced.
- 5. Scoped execution occurs (if authorized).
- 6. Replay validation confirms correctness.
- 7. Immutable audit entry records rationale and outcome.
Replay-augmented model validation
AI recommendations are tested against historical telemetry through replay execution. False positives and regressions are measured prior to model or policy promotion.
- • Historical dataset replay testing
- • Regression detection
- • Confidence threshold validation
- • Controlled promotion of model refinements
Tenant isolation & data boundaries
AI operates within strict tenant partitions. Feature vectors, telemetry context, and inference pipelines are scoped per tenant. No cross-tenant signal mixing or shared inference leakage occurs.
Failure & uncertainty handling
- • Low-confidence outputs are flagged.
- • AI may recommend no action.
- • Policy override remains authoritative.
- • Suppressed suggestions are audit-logged.
