Team collaboration¶
To support the growing scale and complexity of enterprise environments, the Plixer One Platform (Core, Network, or Security) includes multiple functions that enable greater efficiency in collaborative processes and workflows:
Save custom Reports and allow other members to access/re-run them at any time
Email Reports directly to concerned parties or export them for use in external systems
Compile Alarm details and/or Reports into Collections for review/investigation by multiple team members
Assign one or more notification actions (including email alerts) to Alarm Policies through customizable Notification Profiles.
Overview¶
Plixer Scrutinizer includes multiple features and functions that are designed to streamline the sharing of network and incident information between members and teams.
Saved Reports
Plixer Scrutinizer Reports function as a customizable network visibility interface, where you can continuously filter, drill down, and pivot to different Report types to monitor specific network elements or identify problem points. Once a Report configuration is saved, other users can be given access (through Usergroups) to re-run it or add it to their Dashboards.
Hint
A saved Report can also be used to set up a Scheduled Email Report to automatically run and email the Report to any number of users at regular intervals.
Report/notification emails
Once an email server has been configured, Plixer Scrutinizer can be set to send alerts and reports directly to user inboxes:
On-demand Email Reports after any Report is run
Scheduled Email Reports at user-specified intervals
Alarm/Event email notifications, which are triggered via Notification Profiles assigned to Alarm Policies
Hint
Both email report types also include a link to run the Report in the Plixer Scrutinizer web interface. PDF and/or CSV copies of the Report may also be attached.
Collections
Collections are compilations of Alarm/Event data or Reports that are assigned to specified users for review, analysis, or resolution. In addition, Collections can be viewed by other users, who are able to add annotations directly to the Collection item’s details and/or engage in discussions via threaded notes/comments.
Hint
While reviewing a Collection, a user can click on individual items to quickly jump to more detailed views.
Important
Collections are part of the Plixer One Network solution. Contact Plixer Technical Support for more information.
