I just finished building a full observability stack on my EVPN/VXLAN lab: topology, telemetry, and near real-time visualization. While building it, I realized I wasn't just doing monitoring : I was preparing a network to one day be "seen" by an AI. This first article sets the frame for a five-part series: why observability is the mandatory prerequisite before plugging an agent into your infrastructure.

It works today. But it's not the stack itself that made me write this article: it's a realization I had while building it. I wasn't just setting up monitoring : I was laying the foundations of a pipeline that could, one day, allow an AI agent to reason about my network. And that has a name.

What helped me structure all this was thinking in stacked layers, and accepting that you don't skip a step:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Infrastructure first.** Is the base data reliable, complete, up to date? Topology, metrics, logs.
|
||||
2. **The model next.** What's built on top: a correlation rule, a model, an LLM : does it receive quality inputs, and can its relevance be measured over time?

|

3. **Agent behavior last.** Can its answers and actions be trusted, and can they be audited?
|

|

The order isn't negotiable. An agent built on top of a shaky layer 1 inherits all its weaknesses in cascade, with the added bonus of the illusion of reliability that comes from an assertive answer by construction. You can't make up for a poorly instrumented infrastructure with a better prompt.
