Open Integration Manager (OIM): A configuration powerhouse

Introduced in 2022, Open Integration Manager (OIM) emerges as a game-changer in the realm of alert management. As a crucial configuration layer, OIM facilitates seamless integration with third-party tools and systems. With self-service configuration options and real-time monitoring capabilities, users can effortlessly customize integration settings, and test configurations, and ensure smooth data flow between applications. OIM’s ability to enforce normalization across integrations enhances interoperability and simplifies the management of diverse alert sources.

Mapping Enrichment: Enhancing alert data

In the pursuit of enriching alert data, mapping enrichment emerges as a powerful tool within the BigPanda platform. You can define correlation patterns, such as impacted systems or applications, and map enrichments to add depth and granularity to alert information. Through the upload of CSV files and the definition of query tags and enrichment columns, organizations can augment the context of their alerts, empowering teams to make informed decisions and expedite problem-solving processes. Keeping enrichment maps up-to-date ensures the relevance and accuracy of enriched data, driving continuous improvement in alert management strategies.
