Why SIGNL4
PRTG Network Monitor is an agentless network monitoring software from Paessler AG. It can monitor and classify system conditions like bandwidth usage or uptime and collect statistics from miscellaneous hosts as switches, routers, servers and other devices and applications. A major issue about the mobile app is you cannot see who is on call or members from your team. If an alert comes in and you need to collaborate with a team member, there is no way of knowing who is currently on call. SIGNL4 displays active team members directly on the app so you know who to contact if a critical alert comes in and you are not the subject matter expert.
How it Works
SIGNL4 establishes connection with PRTG Network Monitor via email to enable mobile notification and alerting capabilities for operations teams.

Scenarios
Note: In the screenshot below the user name is S4, email address is your team email and the user is part of the PRTG Users Group.
At this point the next time something triggers an alarm, your S4 team will be notified via the mobile app.
How an alert looks in S4.
SIGNL4 can further increase the visibility of alerts through its Signals and Services section. Augmenting the color and icon of alerts will provide more relevant information at a glance without having to open the alert.
Change Alert Color and Override Title + Text
Override text, colors and titles are triggered by keywords set within the mobile app.
