- AI-powered root cause analysis for Zoom call quality issues
- Use Now Assist for Zoom call issues to identify the root cause of call quality degradation and review the supporting metric evidence for deeper insight. The analysis highlights the contributing device and network
factors directly in the Zoom call quality view. Get the real-time guidance, including device ready remedial actions, contextual self-help instructions, and relevant knowledge articles to help resolve the issue
efficiently.
- Get AI driven insights for boot time performance
- Monitor device boot time to identify slow start-up issues and use Now Assist to investigate the root cause and get suggested resolutions, including remedial actions, self-help instructions, and knowledge articles to resolve boot performance problems quickly.
- View GPU device metric details
- Monitor GPU and VRAM (Video Random Access Memory) usage on the Device page to assess graphics performance and identify bottlenecks. GPU usage shows the percentage of graphics processing capacity in use, while VRAM usage
highlights memory consumption for graphics intensive workloads. These metrics help detect rendering issues, memory intensive applications, and performance degradation enabling faster investigation and resolution of GPU related
device problems.

- Review top processes by resource usage
- Service desk agents can now view automated snapshots of the top 10 CPU and memory-consuming processes directly in the Investigation tab of incident records. The snapshots that are captured every 30
minutes are initially triggered when an incident is created and a configuration item is tagged. You can refresh and filter snapshots over different time ranges and monitor processes causing device issues.
- Diagnose and resolve issues on DEX monitored devices
- Service desk agents can diagnose and resolve Zoom call quality issues using the DEX issue diagnosis and resolution agentic workflow, which integrates Zoom-specific diagnostics that correlate device, network, and application data.
- Event monitoring with DEX
- Monitor system events on Windows and macOS devices to track critical system events available with your base system, configure additional events to monitor, and review collected event data stored in your ServiceNow instance.
Monitor system-level events, such as application crashes, unexpected shutdowns, disk space warnings, failed login attempts, and service failures. The DEX agent captures event data directly from managed endpoints. Activate or deactivate events or add custom events to extend monitoring beyond the base system catalog.
- [Placeholder link text to key create-insights-report]
- Generate an insights report from event log data collected by the DEX agent.
Save useful queries as named reports in the Insights reporting area to preserve them for future use. After you save a report, it appears in the left navigation panel
for quick access. IT operators, L2 analysts, DEX engineers, and administrators can save, name, and retrieve reports. Role-based access controls restrict save and retrieval operations to the DEX Engineer and Administrator roles.
