Alerts and Reports
Any alert system worth its salt sends e-mail, pager or SMS notifications, and fires off executables and SNMP traps. OneSight adds value to notifications with its centrally managed escalation procedures. I set up some escalation alerts and watched them send secondary notifications to our widget managers.
OneSight reports cover the health, availability, transactions, responsiveness, benchmarks, alerts and configuration of the services, network, applications and systems being monitored. You can configure the usual hourly, daily, weekly and monthly intervals for reports and optionally have them sent in the body of an e-mail or as attachments.
I would have liked more control over targeted e-mail users, however, such as having a centralized management location to define users, their e-mail and pagers, and which reports they should each receive.
