Alert System Check:
Black Line needs to be aware of IT issues before they impact a Client’s IT. Automated systems are essential for monitoring IT technologies and are available 24x7x365. Having an Engineer check these systems on a daily basis ensures that Alerts are properly handled, prioritized and verified as accurate
Alert systems also provide trending information on all critical IT Infrastructure components to spot performance, capacity or usage data issues in order address root cause and proactively address issues
Alerts are often used to troubleshoot root causes and points Engineers into the appropriate direction when Infrastructure issues arise, allowing BL to address issues faster
Most critically, Alert Review is the Black Line teams method for not getting caught off-guard, making the extra effort to keep our Clients IT operating as needed.
Automated monitoring systems are inexpensive alternatives to having Engineers manually check systems or wait for failures to occur. Regularly reviewing alerts translates into Client IT having less unplanned downtime, provides proactive addressing of issues before impacting the business and aids in the troubleshooting of technical problems (thus reducing business impact and labor). Black Line’s way of protecting the Client from being caught off guard with business impacting IT issues
IT Providers vary greatly on whether or not they use a Monitoring System to aid in general IT support. For those that do, these systems require constant evaluation, adjustment and administration in order to be valuable to the Client. Black Line ensures these systems have a dedicated resource maintaining and adjusting the Alert System so its outputs are accurate and valuable
In addition, most IT providers setup and configure Alert Systems but do not adjust internal processes to review daily, leaving large amount of alerts being ignored, confusion from false positives and are not analyzed for trending . Black Line reviews all Alerts daily, categorizes, takes appropriate action and documents for trends that may lead to failures
