Reduce MTTR with bi-directional alerts and on-call schedules using Nagios and ilert
Nagios is a widely used open-source monitoring solution trusted by IT operations teams to track the health of infrastructure, networks, servers, and applications. It offers robust monitoring and alerting capabilities with a strong plugin ecosystem, making it a flexible choice for both small and large environments.
Integrating Nagios with ilert enhances its alerting capabilities by turning raw monitoring events into structured, actionable incidents. When Nagios detects a failure or threshold breach, ilert takes over to ensure the right person is notified immediately. Alerts are routed through ilert’s on-call schedules and escalation policies, using preferred channels like SMS, phone calls, push notifications, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and more.
If no one acknowledges the alert, ilert escalates it automatically to the next responsible person, ensuring continuous coverage and fast response times. You can also configure support hours to delay non-urgent alerts until business hours, reducing noise outside working times.
With this integration, you gain full visibility and control over your incident response process, reduce MTTA and MTTR, and ensure that no alert slips through the cracks. Combined with ilert’s AI-powered alert correlation, noise reduction, and incident communication tools, your Nagios setup becomes a complete incident management solution.
