It's available across Coralogix — from the **Ask Olly** button in the page header, or with the `Cmd+I` / `Ctrl+I` keyboard shortcut. When you open Ask Olly on a supported screen, Olly automatically picks up that screen as context — its query, time range, and filters — and shows it as a chip above the prompt. You can also pin specific records yourself. Both kinds of context are covered in [Page and data context](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/olly-chat.md#page-and-data-context). ## What you need[​](#what-you-need "Direct link to What you need") * Olly turned on for your account. If the **Ask Olly** button shows a lock icon, contact your team admin or see [Enable Olly](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/enable.md). ## Open Ask Olly[​](#open-ask-olly "Direct link to Open Ask Olly") You can open Ask Olly from anywhere in Coralogix: * **Page header**: Select the **Ask Olly** button. It carries the Olly logo and the `Cmd+I` / `Ctrl+I` shortcut, and opens or closes the drawer. * **Keyboard shortcut**: Press `Cmd+I` (macOS) or `Ctrl+I` (Windows/Linux) from any page. If your team admin hasn't turned on AI for the account, the **Ask Olly** button shows a lock icon and stays inactive until AI is enabled. See [Enable Olly](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/enable.md). ## How Olly knows what you're looking at[​](#how-olly-knows-what-youre-looking-at "Direct link to How Olly knows what you're looking at") Olly answers in the context of where you opened the chat. Two kinds of context appear as removable chips above the prompt: * **Page context** (automatic): Olly picks this up from the screen you're on — its query, time range, and filters. The chip is labelled with the screen name and the suffix **Page** (for example, **Logs Page**). * **Data context** (manual): specific objects you pin yourself with **Add to Olly context** — a log, a span, a metric chart, or a dashboard widget. [![Pinning an object as data context with Add to Olly context in Explore](/docs/assets/images/add-olly-5135c4bbf2d954a8550ea7274f831d27.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/add-olly-5135c4bbf2d954a8550ea7274f831d27.webp) For how chips group, update, and clear, see [Page and data context](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/olly-chat.md#page-and-data-context). ## Where Ask Olly uses page context[​](#where-ask-olly-uses-page-context "Direct link to Where Ask Olly uses page context") On the screens below, opening Ask Olly attaches a page-context chip automatically. Everywhere else in Coralogix, the **Ask Olly** button still opens the drawer — you'll see a **Page context not yet supported here** note, and Olly answers from across your whole environment instead of the current screen. | Area | Screens with page context | What the chip carries | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Explore](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration.md) | Logs, Spans, and the [Highlights tab](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/highlights-tab.md) | The current query, time range, and filters | | [Custom Dashboards](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/custom-dashboards/introduction.md) | Any dashboard | The dashboard you're viewing | | Tracing | The [trace drilldown](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/ask-olly.md), opened from Explore Spans, APM, or RUM | The trace ID and the selected span's fields, plus suggested queries | | [RUM](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/rum/getting-started/real-user-monitoring.md) | Every RUM screen and drilldown — overview, sessions, errors, web vitals, network and mobile performance, measurements, versions, and releases | The screen's filters and time range | | [Cases](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/cases/overview.md) | A single case, or the cases list | The case you're viewing, or the list | | [AI Center](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/ai.md) | Overview, application and policy catalogs, AI-SPM, code agents, AI Explorer, applications, and policy configuration | The AI Center view and your current selections | | Account management | [Data Usage, Org Quota Manager, and Quota Rules](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/payment-and-billing/ask-olly-data-pipeline.md) | Your usage or quota view — tab, timeframe, aggregation, group-by, and filters | The page-context chip updates as you work: change a filter, the timeframe, or the view, and your next question uses the updated context — you don't need to reopen the drawer. ## Add specific objects as context[​](#add-specific-objects-as-context "Direct link to Add specific objects as context") Beyond the automatic page context, you can pin individual records to a chat so Olly reasons about the exact objects you picked. Select **Add to Olly context** on a log, span, metric chart, or dashboard widget to pin it as a removable chip. The control is available on the logs and spans tables, the log and span detail panels, Explore time-series charts, and dashboard widgets. For the full list of entry points and how pinned objects group and clear, see [Page and data context](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/olly-chat.md#page-and-data-context). ## Detailed guides[​](#detailed-guides "Direct link to Detailed guides") Two screens pair Ask Olly with curated suggested queries for a specific investigation: * [**Ask Olly about a span or trace**](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/ask-olly.md): investigate a trace from the trace drilldown, with five trace-scoped suggested queries: root cause, highest latency, downstream failure, deployment correlation, and next debug step. * [**Ask Olly on data pipeline screens**](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/payment-and-billing/ask-olly-data-pipeline.md): investigate usage, quota, and cost on the Data Usage, Org Quota Manager, and Quota Rules screens, with quick-query prompts matched to each screen. ## Related resources[​](#related-resources "Direct link to Related resources") * [Olly overview](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly.md) — how Olly works across logs, metrics, traces, and alerts. * [Olly chat](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/olly-chat.md) — the chat interface, prompt templates, and context chips. * [Enable Olly](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/enable.md) — turn on AI for your account.
