ITSI Best Practices
The Definitive Guide to Best Practices for IT Service Intelligence is a must-read resource for ITSI administrators, with essential guidelines that help you to unlock the full potential of ITSI. We’ve just updated this resource with fresh articles to help you ensure optimal operations and exceptional end-user experiences.
Using dynamic entity rule configurations is helpful for anyone who often adds or removes entities from their configurations. Learn how to create a rule configuration that updates immediately and without the need for service configuration changes, reducing the time and risk of error that can result from manually reconfiguring entity filter rules.
If you use the ITSI default aggregation policy, you might not know that you shouldn’t be using this as your primary aggregation policy. Learn why and how to build policies that better fit your needs in Utilizing policies other than the default policy.
Building your own custom threshold templates shows you how to use and customize the 33 ITSI out-of-the-box thresholding templates with the ability to configure time policies, choose different thresholding algorithms, and adjust sensitivity configurations.
Finally, Knowing proper adaptive threshold configurations explains how to best use adaptive thresholding in the most effective way possible, helping you to avoid confusing or noisy configurations.
These four new articles are just some of many articles in the Definitive Guide to Best Practices for IT Service Intelligence, so if you’re looking to improve how you work with ITSI then don’t miss this helpful resource.
