Modern operational intelligence platforms depend on accurate, structured metadata to function effectively. When metadata is incomplete or misaligned, the ripple effects can derail everything from incident response to automation initiatives. But how do you ensure your network data model is more than just documentation—and instead becomes the strategic foundation for AI-powered operations?
Join us for a live discussion with Kris Beevers, Co-founder & CEO of NetBox Labs, and Dave Siegel, Founder & CEO of NetMavens, as they dive deep into why metadata matters, how it powers insights and automation, and what it really takes to maintain a complete and trustworthy metadata source of truth.
At Selector, we know that operational intelligence is only as strong as the data feeding it. That’s why we’re teaming up with NetBox Labs for a live discussion on one of the most overlooked—but critical—components of a successful AIOps deployment: structured network metadata.
What We’ll Cover:
- Why metadata matters for AI-driven correlation, deduplication, and automation
- How Selector uses network models to power actionable operational insights
- Real-world challenges and strategies for building a clean, complete metadata store
- What teams need to know to get NetBox (and other sources of truth) “Selector-ready” and AIOps ready
