How Auvik’s network monitoring alerts solve key network challenges
Stay on top of your network’s health and resolve issues fast with Auvik’s real-time, customizable alerts. The following use cases highlight how IT teams and MSPs use Auvik network alerts to quickly detect, troubleshoot, and resolve network faults across critical infrastructure and client environments.
Receive severity-based alerts for critical network events
As a network administrator, you can configure Auvik to alert you about critical events like device failures, port status changes, internet connectivity issues, and collector disconnections. Recently when a server NIC failed, you received an instant emergency alert as the device went offline.
Auvik’s real-time monitoring detects over 50 event types across four customizable severity levels: critical, warning, informational, and emergency. You have tailored alerts to notify you only when CPU utilization, storage levels, packet errors, or other metrics exceed defined thresholds. The network alerting system also enables you to assign alerts to specific teams or devices and add contextual tags for streamlined troubleshooting. With the immediate visibility into the server NIC failure provided by Auvik’s emergency alert, you could rapidly diagnose the fault and restore connectivity, minimizing disruption for users. Consolidated, customizable alerts reduce noise and enable your team to focus on fixing the most critical network issues.

Reduce the amount of unnecessary alerts with customizable frequency and grouping
Network admins are often inundated with hundreds of network monitoring alerts every day. Many are duplicative, reporting the same issue in multiple ways. Others are informational but not critical for network operations. Sifting through the flood of notifications makes it nearly impossible to identify and respond promptly to truly critical events.
With Auvik’s customizable alert settings, you can filter out non-essential alerts and duplicates to reduce notification noise. By taking advantage of features like severity thresholds, grouping, and intelligent routing, you can focus your team’s efforts on the most impactful issues. For example, you can set polling configuration alerts to only notify you if an interface goes down for more than 5 minutes, avoiding unnecessary alerts for brief blips. By consolidating and fine-tuning alerts, your staff stays laser-focused on fixing problematic network events, rather than getting lost in hundreds of insignificant notifications. The outcome is quicker resolution of faults that cause performance degradation or outages, less duplicate work, and lower mean time to resolution.

Quickly take action with detailed alert information
When a critical network device unexpectedly fails during peak traffic periods, downtime directly reduces productivity and revenue. For example, if your core router unexpectedly reboots due to a software glitch, connectivity will be intermittent for 15+ minutes until the backup router restores service. Auvik instantly detects such incidents, immediately notifies technicians, and clearly indicates the source of the problem. Admins can then swiftly investigate, troubleshoot the root cause, and restore full uptime.
Throughout the resolution process, admins and stakeholders can add comments about actions taken, questions, and details on the specific incident. Auvik also logs when issues are fixed, tracking actions taken for future optimization. With real-time alerts, insights, and documentation, technicians can rapidly resolve faults and downtime while retaining a complete record of response. The time/effort saved by Auvik’s robust alerting and troubleshooting features offers less disruption and an auditable log of changes to avoid repeat issues.

Track and analyze historical alerts to assess network health trends
Keeping tabs on your network’s health over time can be a huge challenge. With various network monitoring alerts firing at different times across multiple devices, it’s difficult to spot trends or compare the frequency of issues week-to-week or month-to-month. This lack of historical visibility makes it extremely tough to assess the overall health of your network alerting system.
Auvik offers an intuitive “All Alerts” tab that enables you to search and filter through all the network alerts triggered across your network management solution. You can analyze alerts by organization name, date range, device, and more to uncover trends. By comparing alerts week-over-week or month-over-month, you gain invaluable insight into the stability of your network. This historical alert data allows you to truly understand network health trends, take preventative action, and confidently assess the impact of network changes over time. With Auvik, you finally get the contextual alert history you need to keep your network running smoothly.

View and analyze alerts across multiple networks from a centralized dashboard
If you’re responsible for managing multiple networks, it can be a struggle to stay on top of issues across distributed infrastructure. Without comprehensive alerting, your team wastes critical time hunting down the information needed to troubleshoot problems. Valuable minutes pass before you even realize there’s an outage. You need immediate notifications when faults occur so you can rapidly isolate the root cause and minimize downtime.
Auvik gives you a centralized dashboard to view and analyze alerts for all your networks in one place. You receive real-time notifications as soon as problems arise, with visibility into the affected devices. Whether it’s a hardware failure or an overutilized port, Auvik sends customizable alerts so you fix issues quickly before they impact users. The result? Your team resolves problems faster with reduced mean time to resolution. Auvik ensures high availability across complex environments with network monitoring alerts that enable effortless fault detection and timely incident response.

Ensure uninterrupted monitoring with collector disconnection alerts
Network outages and performance issues can happen at any time, often without warning. Without the right alerting system, your team could be blind to developing network problems or disconnected devices until it’s too late. Auvik offers automated monitoring with collector disconnection alerts to give you effortless oversight.
If the connection between Auvik’s collector and your network goes down for any reason, you’ll receive an instant notification. This alert enables swift response so you can troubleshoot connectivity issues right away, restoring visibility into network components. As a result, you avoid extended monitoring blindspots that lead to delayed fault detection. Collector disconnect alerts give you continuous oversight of critical infrastructure so your team can stay on top of developing network problems.
