  • Detect real anomalies with ML-driven alerts:Machine learning continuously learns normal network behavior and triggers network alerts only when meaningful deviations occur, helping teams prevent unexpected disruptions.
  • Focus on what matters, silence what doesn't: Alerts are automatically categorized into Critical, Trouble, Attention, and Service Down, so teams instantly know what impacts revenue and customer experience. No more wasting time on low-priority noise.
  • Gain full visibility with a contextual alarm console: View all alerts in a centralized console, filter them by severity, technician, or category, and use contextual alert details to quickly triage and resolve incidents.
Alert Detection
Alert Correlation

Topology-aware correlation to cut alert noise

Group related alerts together to quickly identify the real root cause.

  • Stop alert floods from a single underlying issue: When a single issue generates multiple related alerts, such as a CPU spike causing server latency, OpManager correlates and suppresses duplicate events. This transforms alert floods into one clear incident, allowing teams to quickly focus on the root cause.
  • Reduce alert fatigue with topology-aware intelligence: With uplink dependency mapping, OpManager understands how devices are connected. When an upstream device fails, alerts from dependent downstream devices are automatically suppressed, preventing cascading notifications across the network.
  • Pinpoint the exact failure point faster: Visual dependency mapping and performance correlation reveal exactly where and why the issue started; no guesswork required.

Alert pattern intelligence to eliminate repeat issues

Analyze historical alerts to detect recurring network problems early.

  • Spot recurring network issues early with alarm trend analysis: Historical alarm data reveals patterns such as repeated interface failures, bandwidth spikes, or unstable devices so teams can address underlying problems before they escalate.
  • See where incidents occur most across the network: Alarm summaries organize alerts by device and device group, helping teams quickly identify which parts of the infrastructure generate the most incidents.
  • Make smarter infrastructure decisions with real operational insights: By analyzing alert trends over time, teams can assess infrastructure stability and plan upgrades, capacity improvements, and preventive maintenance with confidence.

Automated alert escalation to accelerate incident response

Automate escalation workflows so urgent incidents never go unnoticed.

  • Automatically escalate unresolved critical alerts: If a critical alert isn't acknowledged within the defined time window, OpManager automatically escalates it to the next support tier, ensuring urgent issues never go unnoticed.
  • Route alerts based on service priority and SLAs: Align alerts with service-level commitments so high-impact incidents are instantly directed to the right teams for faster resolution.
  • Maintain consistent and reliable incident response: Predefined escalation workflows remove manual follow-ups, helping teams handle every critical alert quickly, consistently, and without delays.

Deliver alerts instantly across teams and tools

Ensure alerts reach the right teams and trigger faster incident response.

  • Reach the right teams through multiple alert channels: Notify teams through email, SMS, syslog messages, SNMP traps, web alarms, and collaboration tools such as Teams or Slack, ensuring critical incidents are seen and acted on immediately.
  • Trigger automated actions for faster incident response: Automatically execute scripts or commands when an alert occurs to initiate L1/L2 troubleshooting, helping teams resolve issues faster and prevent escalation.
  • Scale alerting workflows as your network grows: From simple alert routing for SMBs to multi-tier incident workflows for enterprises, OpManager adapts to networks of any size without adding operational complexity.
