Expanded Alerts Capabilities and more in v16.14.00

Expanded Alerts Capabilities and Integration with PagerDuty and Opsgenie

Device42 has expanded its alert capabilities to allow you to more easily identify conditions that need attention. These alert updates include discovery job failure notifications and business application changes, as well as Opsgenie and PagerDuty integration support. These updates also include a new Notifications page and UI alerts for notifications within Device42.

The bell icon in the Device42 menu bar animates when a new notification is received, and you can hover over the icon to see a list of new notifications.

The Add / Change Alert page has been updated to include Rule Type, Trigger, and Alert Type drop-down menus to make it easier to create and organize your alerts.

Device42 has also added Escalation Profiles functionality that you can use to define escalation actions when notifications are not acknowledged or cleared and apply the Escalation Profiles to your alerts.

Our PagerDuty and Opsgenie integrations lets you integrate Device42 alerts to generate incident alerts in both PagerDuty and Opsgenie. To set up the integration(s), select Tools > Integrations > External Integrations from the Device42 menu bar.

KeySecure, FireEye, and Brocade Device Support

SNMP discovery now supports Thales KeySecure devices, FireEye appliances, and  Brocade DS-6620B devices.

New DOQL View for VLANs on Ports

The Device42 Object Query Language (DOQL) now includes a view that shows all the VLANs associated with a particular port.

Improved Azure Cloud Device Discovery

Device42 Azure Cloud discovery has been improved to return more data on discovered Azure services and instances. You can also now select the name format for discovered instances.

Improved Mobile View for Parts

The Mobile View > Parts page has been improved to provide faster loading of the parts list and quicker editing of part data.

Custom Fields and Parts Model Fields Sorting Improvement

Custom fields created as Related Field type fields now sort their contents correctly alphabetically. These drop-down menus on the Add / Change Parts Model page now also sort their contents correctly: Type, Connectivity, Media Type, and Connector Type.
