Alerts and Notifications

Perspective automatically notifies you when network performance degrades, allowing you to fix problems before any impact on user and customer experience. Through a simple wizard, you can configure alerts for multiple conditions that meet the needs of your network. Perspective™ monitors network events, traffic, and conditions to create a performance baseline which ensures that you don’t get inundated with false-positive alerts from normal network activity. Additionally, Perspective™ can automatically escalate critical alerts until the problem is resolved and can suppress alerts for scheduled network maintenance.

  • Send alerts via email and SMS when network trouble arises
  • Configure network alerts for interrelated events or conditions
  • Escalate network alerts automatically for unresolved issues
  • Ensure you don’t receive unnecessary and false-positive notifications
