NS1 Integration Guide

NS1 helps you to optimize network resource management, network services automation, application delivery, and intelligent application traffic steering with Traffic Intelligence and Automation portfolio.

What can Xurrent IMR do for NS1 users?

With NS1's Integration, Xurrent IMR sends new NS1 alerts to the right team and notifies them based on on-call schedules via email, text messages(SMS), phone calls(Voice), Slack, Microsoft Teams and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed. Xurrent IMR provides your NOC, SRE and application engineers with detailed context around the NS1 alert along with playbooks and a complete incident command framework to triage, remediate and resolve incidents with speed.

You can also use Alert Rules to custom route specific NS1 alerts to specific users, teams or escalation policies, write suppression rules, auto add notes, responders and incident tasks.
