Part 15 – Event Handling

Stay Ahead of Network Events with Industrial HiVision Event Reporting

No network can be supervised 24/7, and missing critical events can cause major disruptions. What if there was a proactive way to stay informed about network events that suits your workflow? Look no further than Industrial HiVision’s Event Reporting capabilities.

In this engaging video, we’ll show you how Industrial HiVision provides different options to ensure that you receive timely notifications about network events. You can choose from an audio alarm, email, SMS, push notifications, or pop-up message boxes that provide precise instructions for dealing with the alarm. Event handling can be customized to suit your requirements, making it easy to get started. Existing events from the event log can be used to generate and tailor new events for reporting.

Storing network events is essential for short-term network administration and fault-finding. For long-term storage and analysis, centralizing all events in one location, such as a Syslog server, is common practice. Industrial HiVision offers two powerful options to forward events to one or more central Syslog servers. All internal events, including user logins, can be forwarded, as well as events about network devices.

In reality, operators sometimes miss critical events. To mitigate this problem, Industrial HiVision offers a simple function to redirect unacknowledged events to another operator or escalate them to a higher authority. You can define the acknowledgment timeout period per alarm, and based on the event severity, define how each event should be escalated. This reduces the chances of events being missed, ensuring that you and your colleagues maintain awareness of the network status.

Don’t let critical events go unnoticed. Take control of your network management process with Industrial HiVision’s Event Reporting. Watch our video today and stay ahead of network events!
