New Alerting Features
Alert Grouping Metrics
A few months ago, we introduced Intelligent Alert Grouping, a powerful feature designed to reduce alert fatigue and help teams manage large volumes of alerts more effectively. With the latest update, ilert users can now track the effectiveness of this feature. For each alert source with alert grouping enabled, you can view the reduced alert volume, improved response times, and grouping precision based on user feedback. You can also adjust the time period and choose between daily, weekly, or monthly reports.
Additionally, grouped alerts are now clearly visible in the Alert timeline, and you can quickly access raw event data via the </> icon.
For those who haven't yet tried the Intelligent Alert Grouping feature, we've introduced a new section called "Similar Alerts," located under Links. The Similar Alerts feature shows responders-related open alerts across all alert sources, even with Intelligent Alert Grouping turned off. The same feature is also available when resolving alerts.
A blue circle with the number '7' indicates that seven similar alerts have been detected
For users already leveraging AIOps features, we've polished and improved how grouped alerts are displayed in the Event Explorer. Just as a reminder, Event Explorer provides a detailed view of alerts from a specific alert source. To see alert group information in JSON format, click the circle in the Alert details and navigate to Event Explorer for further investigation.
Alert Action Conditional Execution
ilert now offers even more customization for automated workflows, giving you greater precision when specifying the conditions for alerts that should trigger actions. You can choose from various filter groups such as alert summary, status, priority, and alertKey, as well as custom alert details specific to the selected alert source. Alerts that don’t match your criteria won’t trigger any action. For advanced users, we’ve also enabled the option to set filters using a code editor.
Additionally, we recommend reviewing the list of trigger events for alert actions. We've added the ability to activate an action if an alert isn't resolved within a specified time frame.
Audience-specific Status Pages
A massive update for MSPs, IT service providers, and clients with many teams and status pages! An audience-specific page is a private page accessible to authenticated ilert users only. It dynamically displays services and metrics based on the user's team assignment. With this update, you can use a single status page for many clients; only relevant services will be visible to them. This feature provides the next level of flexibility and simplifies managing status communication with multiple groups while reducing costs.
