Papertrail helps you monitor your servers, your on-premise network, the global cloud, and cloud platform data, in one thorough, affordable solution.

What can Zenduty do for Papertrail users?

With Papertrail's Integration, Zenduty sends new Papertrail monitoring 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. Zenduty provides your NOC, SRE and application engineers with detailed context around the Papertrail monitoring 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 Papertrail alerts to specific users, teams or escalation policies, write suppression rules, auto add notes, responders and incident tasks.
