Virtana lets its AI agents invite outside vendors' agents

Virtana, an IT observability company, released new software that allows its AI agents to invite agents from other vendors into investigations of IT incidents. Most enterprise AI agents currently work in isolation within a single vendor's product, so when system failures span multiple vendors, engineers must manually piece together findings from separate agents. With Virtana's new capability, its agents can pull in outside agents that use standard protocols to collaborate on incident diagnosis and resolution. The system includes safeguards where customers can define which incident types allow autonomous agent action, require human approval before fixes are implemented, control which outside agents participate, and maintain audit logs of all agent actions.
