SiteScope Alerts is one of the best features of this software.
SiteScope continuously monitors different systems/servers and if any issues or errors are found in the servers, SiteScope will automatically trigger the alerts to emails and mobiles, according to the thresholds that are set in SiteScope.
The better you configure the SiteScope alerts the better you can monitor the business. Some of the best features that SiteScope is agentless monitoring which helps to monitor easily without installing any agent in the servers.
SiteScope Alerts can be configured in different ways according to your requirement. SiteScope alerts can be configured to individual monitor, one or two monitors, one or more group of monitors, a combination of groups and monitors, or we can also configure overall for all the groups and monitors.
Alert Actions:
In the following section you will see a step by step options that you can create Sitescope Alerts.

You can set the alert action in such a way that the alert can be triggered to different media such as email, mobile apps, and through SMS.
