System downtime, to any degree, is costly for an organization. At a most basic level, network alarms notify the network administration when parts of the network are down. But as the network goes down, the impact ripples across devices. A steady stream of alarms can be unmanageable, especially when network availability is already impacted.

dopplerVUE has the ability to generate alarms based on both network faults and network performance. This integration allows alarming on multiple issues to best anticipate and accurately pinpoint network problems and avoid system downtime.

dopplerVUE’s alarm system for fault and performance issues features:

• Alarming on events from multiple sources for maximum effectiveness, e.g., syslog messages, SNMP traps, Windows event logs, and more.
• Performance alarms based on metrics from the services and devices that support key business functions and components.
• Immediate network alarming at installation, based on commonly accepted performance thresholds and event conditions, with the ability to customize both.
• An advanced rules wizard to easily define the conditions that trigger alarms when performance falters.
• Alarm filtering on 29 attributes to isolate and display alarms most crucial to network events.
• Built-in alarm de-duplication with frequency counts to avoid alarm flooding.
