SIGNL4 is a cloud-based mobile alerting and incident response service. Third-party systems like monitoring tools, control systems or IoT sensors detect abnormalities and transmit events to SIGNL4 over the Internet. What if your systems cannot transmit critical events anymore? That might happen when the Internet is down or when the tool itself has a problem. In this case, SIGNL4 would miss critical events and could not turn them into alert notifications to your IT admins, technicians and experts.

Moving parts, concurrent invocations, and different retries policies can make operating and troubleshooting such systems challenging. Without proper tools, correlating logs with metrics may be difficult. To overcome these challenges, you need observability.

Network monitoring is a set of automatic processes that help to detect the status of each element of your network infrastructure. We are talking about routers, switches, access points, specific servers, intermediate network elements, and other related systems or applications (such as web servers, web applications, or database servers).In other words, network monitoring can be understood as taking a look at all the connected elements that are relevant to you or your organization.
