• 10 Minute Guide to Sending Knowledge Front Alerts with PagerDuty

  Sun, Oct 27, 2013 guides

  Knowledge Front’s network monitoring service provides e-mail, SMS, and voice call alerting for your monitors… and it also hooks nicely into an alerting service like PagerDuty so that you can send alerts to your on-call technical staff.

  On Friday, January 7th at 7:00am (Central) there will be a couple of changes to Mailive! alerting.

  In the US and Canada SMS alerts coming from Mailive! will begin to be delivered from 1-952-314-5455. This is the same number currently used for voice call alerts. The short code 35842 will still be used for International SMS and as a backup for SMS alert delivery.

  Email alerts for Mailive! will now come from alert@knowledgefront.com instead of mailive@knowledgefront.com. This is to alleviate issues arising from using mailive@knowledgefront.com for both test messages and alerts. There is no change to the round trip test process - this is only for the alert messages.
