3rd Party Event Escalation/Acknowledgement with Voice Calls

MagnAxiom over 13 years ago

I've been tasked to
find a 3rd party application to be able to send my alerts from Orion and a few
other systems to that can intelligently take these alerts, filter/apply rules
to these alerts and then perform email alerting with acknowledgment. If
the alert isn't acknowledged in a specific time, then email their back and/or
their boss.

Another situation is
where when event type X happens, I need to be able to do Voice calling to
deliver alerts.

Suggestions?

MIR3 has a product called Telalert that should be able to do everything you need it to.

Thanks for the suggestion njoylif!!

Anyone else have an alternative to MIR3 so I can do some comparisons? Who are MIR3's competitors?

Did you end-up using MIR3's solution? I'm looking into Xmatters, but it's an unsupported integration.
