Our September update improves the assignment of categories to Signl alerts, hence the enrichment and routing of alerts to the right people. Until now, a ‘Services & Systems’ category was assigned to a Signl alert, if at least one of the entered keywords was found in the event content or text delivered to SIGNL4 by email or webhook. This basically represents a logical ‘OR’ operator for this keywords search.
Today, technology problems can alter the trajectory of a business. Minutes of downtime or latency (slow is the new down) cost organizations dearly in lost revenue and can jeopardize customer relationships. However, there’s an even more important consequence of technology problems than top-line risk: reduced innovation as teams are forced into reactive fire drills that take time away from product development.
Diamond mining is recognized as a dangerous occupation, causing serious accidents for mineworkers across the globe. Often times, these incidents turn out to be fatal because the victim didn’t receive immediate care from first responders. However, significant strides are being made to minimize the impact of these accidents by large, international organizations.
If your phone is constantly interrupting your beauty sleep with false alarms, you eventually stop paying attention. And once faith is lost in alerting, you start to assume that every alert is false, and inevitably issues are missed. This phenomenon is known as alert fatigue.
One of the most common reasons for system failures is changes to the underlying infrastructure.

FireHydrant now includes this data, giving you visibility into changes to your infrastructure while you’re investigating an incident.
Organizations need to continually ramp up and improve their security and resilience to unexpected incidents. But as the number of endpoints, networks, and user interfaces grow exponentially, the task becomes more difficult, and manual incident response management becomes less and less effective.
