Build a cognitive alert system for your IT operations - Monitoring tools today generally send alerts through incidents or email notifications. Often, though, IT teams need a more visually perceptive approach. For example, when an incident or email is received, or an action from an IT service management tool occurs, the IT operator needs either an audible signal on a speaker or a visual signal on a lamp. These types of alerts mean that operators no longer have to keep an eye on the screen or their smartphones.
Implementing a solution that integrates service management systems with these types of devices can be quite complex depending on the current architecture. This article by Juscelino Candido de lima Junior demonstrates how you can use a low-cost set of hardware (a Raspberry Pi in a TJBot robot) and Watson APIs, IBM Watson IoT Platform, and other IBM Cloud services to build a cognitive alert system for your IT operations.
