Products

BigPanda's product is software as a service for IT incident management that monitors, analyzes, and correlates machine alerts to create high-level IT incidents. It integrates with monitoring tools, including traditional monitoring systems from Hewlett Packard and IBM along with others like New Relic, AppDynamics, Splunk, Nagios or Zabbix. The platform also integrates with several deployment and configuration management tools like Chef, Ansible, Puppet, and others.
It uses clustering algorithms to aggregate data across multiple monitoring systems, normalize them into a single consistent data model, and then compressing multiple alerts into consolidated incidents that are displayed based on their relative importance. The software is designed to display only the most important alerts and incidents to specific users based on their preferences using AutoShare rules and outbound sharing channels including Slack, HipChat, JIRA, ServiceNow, email, and SMS.
