Scenarios¶
These walkthroughs show IAPM in action - step by step through real-world troubleshooting and exploration workflows. Each scenario describes exactly what you do and what you see at every stage.
Available Scenarios¶
| Scenario | Difficulty | Time | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your First IAPM Session | Beginner | 10 min | Get oriented in the 3D environment, learn basic controls, and meet Tessa |
| Investigating a Latency Spike | Intermediate | 15 min | Trace a latency spike from the Grid to root cause using Tessa and the Diagnostics Room |
| Root Cause Analysis with Tessa | Intermediate | 20 min | Diagnose cascading failures across multiple services with AI-assisted analysis |
| Understanding Your Service Topology | Beginner | 15 min | Explore your architecture in Graph view and identify traffic patterns and dependencies |
Before You Start¶
Each scenario assumes you have:
- IAPM installed and running
- An active subscription with a connected grid
- Familiarity with basic navigation controls (recommended for intermediate scenarios)
Demo Grid
If you don't have a production grid connected yet, you can use the demo grid to follow along with these scenarios. The demo grid includes a simulated microservice architecture with realistic traffic patterns.
How to Read These Walkthroughs¶
Each step follows a consistent format:
- What you do - the action you take (keyboard input, mouse click, Tessa command)
- What you see - the visual result in the 3D environment (colors, animations, layout changes)
Look for these callouts throughout:
