Using the Copilot Interface
Once you open the policy creation screen, you will see the Copilot interface on the left and a policy editor panel on the right.
Left Panel: Copilot Assistant
Copilot Introduction (v1.0.1158 beta): "Hello! I am Copilot, here to assist with generating alert policies..."
Usage Tip: Type 'help' at any time to view Copilot’s capabilities.

Interaction: Copilot will prompt you with “How can I help?” — you can ask natural language questions or describe the alert policy you want to create.

Virtana’s Copilot simplifies the process of creating custom alert policies by offering a conversational interface backed by AI. While it provides a helpful starting point, human validation is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your alerts.
