Proactive maintenance is all about keeping equipment failure from happening in the first place. This involves performing inspections, tests and maintenance activities to make sure equipment is functioning ideally and that no underlying problems could cause a failure. If a breakdown does occur, the proactive approach places a high priority on finding the root cause in order to prevent it from causing problems in the future. Keeping an eye on equipment and properly maintaining it gives you a greater degree of control over the situation and can save you time, effort and money.
IT alerts are the first line of defence against system outages or changes that can turn into major incidents. By automatically monitoring systems and generating alerts for outages and risky changes, IT teams can minimize downtime—and the high cost that comes with it.
IT alerts are undeniably an important part of incident management, but the truth is that they’re not just a simple fix you can set and forget. Setting alert thresholds too low can lead to overflowing inboxes, unhappy on-call teams, and alert fatigue. Setting thresholds too high can mean missing critical issues and costing the company millions. Which is why you need experts to set up the most effective IT alerting systems with these best practices in mind.
