Incident management via a unified dashboard

It's a fact that all of us want complete control over alerting to reduce redundant noise and increase productivity. Especially, if you're a managed service provider, the Alarms View gives you a real-time picture about all the down/trouble alerts in your entire IT environment. A unified dashboard portrays all down/trouble alerts in a neatly curated list view with specific details about individual incidents. All alerts are categorized based on their monitor display name and alert severity, where down monitors are grouped at the top and trouble monitors are clubbed at the bottom half of the dashboard. Further, you can also access the hamburger icon on each alert ribbon to schedule a maintenance, assign an incident to a technician or even delete an alert from the list altogether.

Ability to assign alerts to specific technicians in your user group leads to better incident resolution capability within your account, as it offers better transparency in the handling of alerts. It lets you identify the technician~who is working on resolving a specific issue.

Sorting alerts using the Donut chart

Filters and Donut Charts thus make~filtering alerts a breeze.
