Mobile alerting with tracking & escalation for SteelCentral by Riverbed
Why SIGNL4
Installing the agent on a VM machine will collect vital information such as memory and CPU usage. Alert definitions set within Steel Central will gather this information and display it through widgets on the dashboard as well as send an email out to responsible parties. This is where SIGNL4 comes in. Rather than having the email get lost in the inbox, SIGNL4 sends this critical data out to team members, immediately alerting them of mission critical issues.
How it Works
SIGNL4 retrieves detailed alert information sent from Steel Central via email notifications. On-call users responsible for such incidents will receive mobile alerts where they can take ownership and even collaborate with peers if needed.
