April 2026
New features released in April 2026: SolarWinds AI-assist, OIM AI Configuration Generation, Biggy Chat and Web Indexing, and more!
AI Detection and Response Releases April 2026
Real-time Health Dashboard
The Service Health Dashboard gives you a single screen where every tracked service appears as a color-coded tile, scored by business impact. It combines incident volume, incident priority, and business risk tier into a single impact score per service so your team instantly knows what matters most.
Impact-scored service tiles: Each service gets a live health status (Critical / Warning / Healthy) based on a transparent, configurable formula
Business Risk Tiers: Classify services by business criticality (e.g., Tier 1–4) so that incidents on revenue-critical services escalate faster
Watchlist: Pin key services to the top of the dashboard so they're always visible regardless of current status
Auto-refresh: Data refreshes every 15 seconds; manual refresh also available
View settings: Filter by priority and risk tier, configure sort order
Full-screen mode: Designed for NOC wall displays and dedicated monitors
Self-service admin configuration: Admins can now set up and tune the entire dashboard from Settings, no API calls required
Health Dashboard
The Real-time Health Dashboard can be configured to monitor the services or entities most vital for your team. See the Health Dashboard documentation for details on configuration and dashboard management.
OIM Preprocessor management UI
You can now visually configure and test preprocessing function chains directly within the OIM Inbound integration configuration page, no manual JSON editing or guesswork required.
Preprocessor management
Paste in a sample payload to instantly preview the before and after output, and leverage 39+ transformations, such as tag manipulation, regex extraction, value mapping, array ops, math, date formatting, and more. Out-of-the-box default chains are pre-loaded for supported integrations and can be expanded or explored using a diff viewer and step-by-step visualization.
Learn more about using preprocessors in OIM in the Preprocessing Functions documentation.
SolarWinds Integration AI-Assisted Installer
The AI-assisted installer streamlines SolarWinds integration setup by automatically analyzing your SolarWinds instance and recommending optimal configurations. It reads your SolarWinds environment via the REST API, sends the collected data to BigPanda for AI-powered analysis, and provides entity-specific recommendations that can be applied with a single click.
Automatic discovery: Scans your SolarWinds instance to identify all monitored entities (nodes, interfaces, volumes, etc.) and their associated alerts.
AI-powered recommendations: Analyzes your SolarWinds configuration and previously ingested BigPanda alerts to suggest the best setup for each entity type.
Custom property detection: Automatically discovers and includes object properties — including custom properties — that were not previously surfaced by the standard installer.
One-click apply: Review the recommended configurations and apply them all at once, eliminating manual action template creation.
See the Solarwinds documentation for details on using the configuration AI-assistance.
OIM AI Config Generation
You can now automatically generate a starting configuration from a sample payload using AI.
AI OIM Configuration Generation
With only a sample payload and additional AI guidance, BigPanda AI leverages a deep understanding of configuration best practices and tool normalization to populate configuration options that fit the exact payload uploaded.
Learn more about taking your event normalization to the next level in the Integration Manager documentation.

March 2026
New features released in March 2026: ServiceNow 3.0 Store App, Incident Correlation, Service Desk Observability, BigPanda University Improvements, and more!
The BigPanda ServiceNow integration v3.0 is now available on the ServiceNow Store. This is a complete rebuild of the integration, certified by ServiceNow, that brings significant performance, security, and functionality improvements to your incident management workflows.
Key features
Faster incident creation - Alert processing is 94% faster, reducing the alert to ServiceNow ticket time from minutes to seconds. For high-volume environments, this means your team sees incidents sooner and can respond faster.
Lower impact on your ServiceNow instance - Intelligent caching and batch database operations reduce load on your ServiceNow instance by 90%, freeing up resources for other business-critical applications.
Stronger security posture - The v3 app meets ServiceNow Store certification standards, including encrypted credential storage, role-based access control, and full audit logging. All API credentials are stored using Password2 encryption.
Multi-organization support - Connect multiple BigPanda organizations to a single ServiceNow instance. This is ideal for enterprises managing separate business units, regional teams, or staging and production environments from one ServiceNow deployment.
Configuration with confidence - A new configuration interface provides version history, change comparison, and one-click rollback. You can review exactly what changed between versions and revert instantly if needed.
Assistance required
The BigPanda - ServiceNow v3 integration includes major architectural changes, including new security roles, and deprecated API patterns. The upgrade process must be planned and coordinated with your BigPanda account team.
Contact your BigPanda account team to discuss next steps to upgrade to a 3.x integration version.
Read more about available features in the ServiceNow v3 integration documentation.
Use BigPanda to automatically cluster related incidents based on shared attributes, infrastructure dependencies, and behaviors. You can run cluster analysis for specific time periods or view live correlation analysis for active incidents. This accelerates root cause identification and provides a clearer look at what’s happening in your environments.
This feature leverages the IT Knowledge Graph and AI to detect patterns across high-volume alert streams—identifying when multiple seemingly separate alerts are actually part of the same larger incident.
Key features
AI-powered analysis: BigPanda uses generative AI to analyze data from multiple data sources and infrastructure points to provide you with a comprehensive look at your incident history.
Accelerated root cause identification: Incident clusters make it easier to identify root cause and recurring issues.
Visualize downstream effects: Get a clearer picture of incident impact using interactive topology maps.
Read more about how to leverage incident clusters in Incident Correlation.
Many real issues are first reported through the Service Desk, but don’t immediately trigger investigation as the service desk and incident management processes are siloed. BigPanda Service desk incident correlation detects problems reported by end users via a service desk tool, and correlates those with monitoring data to accelerate the triage and resolution of user-reported outages.
Service desk detection brings the next level of AI enrichment and awareness right into your existing ITOps workflows. Leveraging the tool-agnostic incident engine and IT knowledge graph, service desk detection brings world-class visibility and context right to your operations teams.
Service Desk Tickets
Start correlating service desk tickets to incidents with Service Desk Incident Correlation.
We have recently introduced several updates to BigPanda University to support continued learning across key platform capabilities:
Normalization: New course content focused on how BigPanda standardizes and enriches incoming data for more effective event correlation.
Topology: Updated learning on service relationships and dependency mapping to help users better understand impact and context.
Change Integrations:New training covering how change data can be incorporated into workflows to support faster, more informed incident triage.
We encourage learners to enroll in the Biggy Certification to earn their Credly credential and continue building their AIOps expertise.
Lastly, you may notice that BigPanda University has received visual UI updates for a more streamlined and intuitive learning experience. As always, your learning history is safe and secure.
