Small engineering team members wear a lot of hats while working on a product. It becomes hard to prioritize and deal with issues that arise during production when a sprint is already planned and put in place. This not only makes sprints harder to plan but also reduces accountability. How do you tackle this problem and make sure your engineering team does not burn out at the same time? Let’s list down a couple of characteristics of this engineering team that is quite common across the board.

With our February update, it is now possible to centrally configure how Signls should be notified. And of course, each team can have a different configuration of their notification preferences. This also includes response and escalation settings. In addition, it is now possible to set different notification patterns per day and time of the day, e.g. to notify via different channels at night than during office hours.

Change management is an organized, structured approach with methods that enable healthcare organizations to transform workflows seamlessly. Organizational change management requires the collective involvement of C-level executives and stakeholders to successfully implement changes within a care facility. Change is required when individuals, processes, teams, and tools cannot keep pace with the ever-changing needs and expectations of the organization.

One of the core value propositions of AIOps platforms is to increase IT efficiency & productivity by applying AI & ML techniques to perform Alert Noise Reduction. This in turn translates to direct cost reduction due to savings in IT man-hours. In this approach, the AIOps platform kind of becomes like a gatekeeper for all the IT alerts/events, and it can help effectively, reduce and correlate such events, so as to send meaningful incidents to NOC or Service Desk.

In version v1.32 of Netdata, we announced a remarkable new update that we are extremely proud of; Netdata Cloud now runs on the most reliable and stable backend that we’ve ever built. The architectural changes allow us to deliver new features, such as parent-child relationships and improved alert handling.

SIGNL4 integrates with various backend systems like IT monitoring, service management, IoT systems, sensors, etc. to automatically alert users and teams about certain incidents. A list of selected tools along with integration descriptions is available in our integrations section. How can you integrate SIGNL4 with your own tools? In the following we list some options offering different levels of sophistication.

A question we are hearing often is related to manager escalations, a heavily utilized feature in SIGNL4. Users ask us if those managers can be scheduled. The short answer is ‘yes’, but you need to use a different feature in SIGNL4 and do a little re-configuration.

We have released an update for Enterprise Alert 9 (version 9.3) that revolutionizes our OPC connector and also includes some bug fixes. Read all the details in this article.
