It’s a story we often hear from our partners: A client calls and their network’s down, so our partner logs into Auvik, pinpoints the problem, and gets them back up in no time. Everyone’s happy. But your client shouldn’t have to make that first call. And if you’re using Auvik to its full potential, they likely won’t have to.

The Downtime Monkey payments system looks super simple but behind the scenes it's not trivial... This took several months to develop in 2017 and we're proud to say it worked like clockwork. So when we learned that we'd have to redevelop the system to comply with new SCA regulations you can understand that we weren't overcome with enthusiasm...

We’ve released our newest feature, Self-Service Transactions (SST), for the beta release. Although you can still have us take care of the scripting for you (Full-Service Transactions), with SST you write and manage your own scripts.

This is because, without proper configuration, log management services and tools do not treat multi-line logs as a single event.
