Integrating Strata Cloud Manager into your existing operations involves
setting up proactive alerts, allowing you to detect and manage potential issues
before they escalate into serious complications. These alerts can be tailored to
match your operations team's case management protocol, such as the commonly used P1s
or P2s.
For instance, you might set up an alert system wherein
critical alerts, which represent the most critical issues, are instantaneously
escalated to your security team for immediate attention. On the other hand, warning
alerts, which are of lesser urgency but still significant, can be arranged for daily
review. Such an arrangement ensures efficient incident management while maintaining
the smooth running of your operations.
Another option is to route
alerts based on teams; certain categories of alerts, or even specific alerts, can be
routed to different teams that will be best equipped to handle them. You can define
notification preferences, such as which alerts trigger notifications, how you
receive notifications, and how often you receive them, create a notification
rule.
