Proactive alerting with BVQ°

In today’s dynamic IT landscape, it’s essential to maintain a clear overview of system health at all times. This is where BVQ° alerting comes in - a powerful solution that helps detect potential issues early and respond effectively. In this blog post, we’ll introduce the key features of BVQ° alerting and show how it can positively transform IT management.

What is BVQ° alerting?

BVQ° alerting is a comprehensive system for monitoring and managing alerts within an IT infrastructure. It enables continuous health monitoring and immediate response to critical conditions. It comes with several hundred predefined alerts that are ready to use right after installation. Many of these alerts include adjustable thresholds to tailor alert levels to individual needs. Additionally, custom alerts can be created to meet specific customer requirements. Through existing BVQ° interfaces, these alerts can be forwarded to systems like ServiceNow, CheckMK or PRTG to generate tickets and enhance the capabilities of those platforms.
