EventTracker PULSE Features - Alerting

EventTracker's alerting capability enables the user to generate alerts when critical events occur such as security breaches or performance problems. Unlike other alerting solutions EventTracker Pulse runs rules against the incoming data stream in real-time enabling timely alert triggering and notification as opposed to running periodic scheduled searches against the event store.

The EventTracker Alert Console provides a web-based centralized user interface to define and view all alerts. Alerts can be prioritized and ordered via a user-configurable weighting algorithm so important alerts are always given the attention they require. EventTracker provides support for:

  • An unlimited number of rule-based alerts
  • Configurable graphical views of alert groups (systems, types, importance, etc)
  • Customizable event criteria including event-fired automatic actions for any defined event
  • Out of the box alerts for the most common predefined alert conditions
  • Ability to minimize false positives
  • Ability to suppress duplicate notifications

Alert actions include:

  • Forward to Alert Console
  • Email/pager notification
  • Console message
  • Execute custom scripts
  • RSS Feed
  • Forward either SNMP or Syslog message to NOC software like HP/Openview, Tivoli, etc.
