Generic on-call alerting

MSPs rely on AlertOps to enable multi-channel alerts
(E-mail, SMS, Push Notifications) to their On-Call Technicians as tickets arrive after business hours. If a technician does not respond to an alert within a predetermined amount of time, On-call alerting  process can also be automatically escalated to a manager at the service desk.

Sending E-mails

Most monitoring/ticketing tools only send e-mails that are cluttered and often ignored or set aside and are not immediately addressed. E-mails are prone to trigger the onset of Alert fatigue as they are frequently overflowing, with poor visibility.

Sending Push Notification

A very practical and attention-grabbing notification technique. Push notifications are a less noisy method by which visibility is more easily attained. We can even conveniently respond via the mobile app

SMS & Voice Notifications

The advantage of SMS & Voice is the opportunity to get notifications through a less clogged method that offers more immediate visibility, comparable to push notifications. Either way makes it simple to respond to alarms. With Voice, you may instantly enter pre-configured bridges.

Automatic Escalations

Without dependable incident escalation, events may be completely unreported until business-critical services start to fail, thereby affecting the bottom line. When issues happen, automatic escalations make sure that the appropriate teams and stakeholders are aware of the problem.

 

To personalize your escalation routes, use AlertOps. In your ITSM tools, you may set notification intervals, escalate between teams, route depending on the time of day and the source data, and even automatically create tickets.

What are the steps one should take to

improve the on-call process?

Minimizing false positives by the classification of warnings according to the root cause, source system, messaging, thresholds, etc. This distinguishes useful warnings from the rest.

Reducing the number of relevant warnings to prevent alert fatigue.

Creating detailed warnings that enable the on-call technicians to use the information captured in runbooks to make informed judgments.

Assessing the severity and priority of an alert and establishing systems accordingly. Low-urgency alarms might be delayed until the next day, giving on-call workers much-needed rest.

Providing metrics and warning data to on-call staff to help identify and strengthen system weaknesses

Even though your incident response staff is fantastic, managers still need to be kept informed. With configurable processes and escalation criteria, AlertOps makes sure that managers and stakeholders always have pertinent information.
