Its alerting system supports event correlation, dependency-aware suppression, predictive thresholds, escalation, and 40+ automated response actions, including scripts, notifications, API calls, and integrations with external systems. Distributed Monitoring Probes extend monitoring to remote and isolated locations. NetCrunch also provides a REST API for integration and automation with external IT management, service management, and operational systems. NetCrunch is self-hosted on Windows Server and can monitor on-premises, air-gapped, cloud, and hybrid IT environments.
