<p>We also implemented a centralized monitoring system to oversee network, server, and service operations. This system would send alerts whenever issues arose, allowing engineers to investigate and report through the staff portal.</p>
<p>System automation made daily tasks much easier and, importantly, allowed engineers to concentrate on work requiring experience and problem-solving skills.</p>
<p>By utilizing tools like ChatGPT, automation can be taken to the next level, making it even more accessible and user-friendly for newer and junior engineers.</p>
<p>However, this advancement also introduced a new skill set for system and network engineers. Professionals in this field must now learn how to work with APIs and customize them according to specific requirements.</p>
<p>Here is a video on YouTube that demonstrates how ChatGPT can be used to create a chatbot capable of controlling and interacting with managed networks and performing everyday tasks.</p>
