LLM Instruction Examples

The instructions tell the LLM what adjustments should be made to the generated analysis. You can instruct the LLM to always include or exclude certain information, write the summary in a certain way, or other include other instructions that fit your organization's workflows.

LLM instructions should be written in natural language. Here are a few examples of instructions to update the prompt:

Return the analysis in Spanish (Latin American Spanish dialect). 

Include potential impact and urgency in the title and summary. 

Write the summary and title in a way that business and technical personas will understand. For example, when the check is 'synthetics monitor' you should display something more easily understood like 'URL Check'. 

When providing your summary, root cause analysis, and reasoning, always highlight key components like impacted systems, system names, application names, service names, assignment group, and similar details. Additionally, include potential impact to other related systems and services. Make mention in the title and summary if it is impacting Production environments. 

When providing your summary, root cause analysis, and reasoning, please always highlight the key components, system names, application names, service names, and similar details by using ALL CAPS.
