AIOps - Threshold recommendation, Availability report new format, strict search, Graph widget evolution

Recommendation of unit thresholds

reco ServiceNav continues its strategy AIOps through the provision of the Recommendation of unit thresholds. The reduction of false positives is a major issue for any user operating a supervision solution. Reducing these alerts requires a correct and fine tuning of the thresholds, often based on experience. And this is exactly what we propose.

Based on an analysis of three months of daily dataThe unit threshold recommendation proposes, for a piece of equipment or a service, and on each of its metrics, a adjusted thresholds.

This functionality is currently available in SaaS, and will be deployed progressively on dedicated platforms, with the activation of the Bigdata flow.

New

Availability report - new format

available report The availability report has been completely revised. More modern and clear, it allows a synthetic and customer-oriented representation of the availability information of your User Services and Equipment. The following information is presented:

  • Flop 10 User/Equipment Services
  • For each element
    • Availability (period + last 6 months)
    • Unavailability (period + last 6 months)
    • Performance (time spent in each status)
    • Maintenance (number and total duration/average over the period)

Use cases IT departments wishing to have support for internal meetings or MSPs providing regular SLA monitoring reports to their customers.

Update

Import of equipment - creation of unit services

It is now possible, when importing equipment, to check the box " Manage services associated with equipment models" .

If equipment templates are specified on the inserted/updated equipment, the services associated with these templates are automatically created during the import.

This saves a lot of time when setting up model-based supervision of a park.

New

Technical exploitation - strict research

strict The search field of the technical evaluation now offers a "strict" option. When this option is enabled, the search is performed strictly on the value of the field. For example, "192.168.1.12" will not return "192.168.1.12" and "192.168.1.121", but only "192.168.1.12". In a strict search, you can use the wildcard character %. Use cases Search for a device by its exact IP or name. This functionality is currently available in SaaS, and will be deployed progressively on dedicated platforms, with the activation of the Bigdata flow.

Update

Multi-metric graph widget - clickable legends

The legend of the multi-metric Widget Graph is now clickable. The access to the detail sheets is thus facilitated from a Dataviz dashboard.

Update

Notification of unit services - display of labels

Notifications on unitary services now display the tags, if the attached equipment has any. The format is as follows: "Equipment labels: label 1, label 2, ..." Use cases To be able to categorize alerts related to unit services more easily.

Update

ServiceNow integration - link to an existing ticket

servicenow We enrich the integration with ITSM ServiceNowby proposing to link an acknowledgement to an existing ticket. Use cases Reduce the administrative burden of entering/clearing tickets when there are multiple alerts related to the same cause, handled in a single ticket.

Update

The Dataviz becomes the default tab

From this version, the Dataviz tab is displayed by default, when "Dashboard" is configured as the default page, in the user profile. This evolution is part of our will to replace the Dataviz to the "Classic" dashboards, insofar as it offers all of the featuresand much more, for several versions.

Correction

Evolution on the declaration and suppression of maintenance

It is no longer possible to delete a maintenance if it is not correctly declared on the ServiceNav Box. The system becomes less permissive, but more accurate, by basing the display on the information returned by the Box. Functional impact: when trying to delete a maintenance, a message may appear, forbidding this deletion and indicating the procedure to follow.
