What's new in ITRS Analytics
Smart alerting with ITRS Analytics Dynamic Thresholds app

Stay ahead of issues with Dynamic Thresholds in ITRS Analytics for smarter alerts, less noise, and faster detection.

As IT environments become more complex, setting the right alert thresholds can be difficult. The Dynamic Thresholds app in ITRS Analytics automatically adjusts thresholds based on real metric behavior, avoiding the limitations of static, one-size-fits-all settings. These adaptive thresholds reduce false positives, detect anomalies sooner, and require less manual maintenance, helping teams stay focused on real issues.

By learning instantly from historical data, the app can be deployed quickly and works alongside static or forecast-based rules, each generating its own signal. Users can preview and simulate changes before going live, ensuring minimal alert fatigue, and configurations can be moved easily across development, test, and production environments. Planned enhancements include support for annual or event-based seasonality and the ability to launch threshold creation from other areas of the UI.

Improved monitoring with distributed tracing capabilities

Get complete visibility and faster troubleshooting with the new ITRS Analytics Traces app, powered by distributed tracing.

Distributed tracing offers a modern way to overcome these challenges by tracking how requests move through different services and components. This approach delivers clear, end-to-end visibility into request paths, helps identify performance bottlenecks, and uncovers dependencies between systems.

Beyond its technical advantages, distributed tracing also delivers significant business value. It enables faster root-cause analysis, which reduces downtime and minimizes the impact of incidents on customers. By improving visibility across complex systems, it helps teams make informed decisions to optimize resources, enhance application performance, and improve overall customer experience. In turn, this can lead to higher operational efficiency, reduced costs, and greater confidence in delivering reliable digital services.

With the ITRS Analytics Traces app, these capabilities come together in an interactive, visual experience that’s accessible to both technical teams and business stakeholders. You can see how data flows across your environment, bring together scattered information into a single, coherent view, and gain a deeper understanding of service performance.

Instant access to historical entity details

The Entity Viewer app now gives you faster, more intuitive access to detailed historical data for your monitored entities, helping you better understand performance trends and investigate issues. You can organize entities into context groups and apply filters based on attributes, dimensions, or severity, making it easy to navigate from the state tree down to specific groups. This delivers a clear and comprehensive snapshot of your environment in just a few clicks.

Once you select an entity, you can explore its full history, including logs, metrics, and activity records, to uncover patterns or pinpoint anomalies. The severity timeline offers a visual representation of past events, allowing you to instantly jump to key points in time and review related signals and metrics for deeper analysis.

For end users, this means faster troubleshooting and better decision-making. You can quickly identify when and why a problem occurred, track the impact of configuration changes, and compare historical performance data to current conditions. For businesses, these capabilities translate to improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime through faster root cause analysis, and stronger data-driven decisions for capacity planning and service improvements.

Immediate command execution in the Entity Viewer app

The ITRS Analytics Entity Viewer app now supports direct command execution, giving you faster, more efficient control over your monitoring environment. From the Commands page, you can access and run commands configured in the Geneos Gateway Setup Editor directly within the app, executing them instantly on selected entities or metrics without switching tools.

You can easily track the status of your commands in real time, with clear indicators showing whether they are queued, running, or completed. Your full command history is available at any time, with detailed execution records that include dimensions, targets, status, timestamps, and more.

For users, this means you can quickly restart processes, clear alerts, or perform health checks and diagnostics on specific metrics directly from the Entity Viewer without logging into another tool. You can also monitor execution progress as it happens, ensuring that resolution actions are completed successfully. For businesses, these enhancements help reduce downtime by enabling faster operational responses, improve team productivity by streamlining workflows, and maintain compliance with detailed logs that capture every executed command.

More control over ingested data points

With ITRS Analytics 2.0.0, data point ingestion now requires explicit configuration, giving you greater control and precision over what enters your analytics environment. The Ingestion app lets you define and manage the order of dimensions, which are the unique entity identifiers within a data point, so you can ensure consistent structure and accurate mapping across your datasets. This level of granularity means you decide exactly how your data is organized and processed.

The app also allows you to handle unknown dimensions efficiently. You can configure them to wait for matching data points, ensuring they are automatically updated to a fully resolved status when the necessary information becomes available. This prevents incomplete or inconsistent records from impacting analysis, while maintaining a clean and reliable data flow.

Proactive monitoring of FIX transactions

The FIX Monitor app now enables you to proactively detect and address issues in FIX sessions before they impact trading operations. You can monitor for schedule violations, message rejections, and “don’t know” trades, while also tracking critical performance metrics such as new orders and order cancellations. These insights are presented in real time through intuitive KPI boxes and interactive timeline charts, giving you instant visibility into the health of your transactions.

If message processing is delayed or interrupted, the app sends immediate banner notifications so you can take action without delay. This ensures that potential issues are addressed quickly, reducing operational risk and preventing service disruption.

Proactive monitoring improves operational resilience, reduces downtime, minimizes the risk of failed or delayed trades, and safeguards client trust by ensuring reliable and timely transaction processing.

Convenient and automated notifications

Stay on top of critical changes in your IT estate with the enhanced ITRS Analytics Notifications app. By integrating with third-party tools such as Slack, you can receive alerts directly in your preferred communication channels, ensuring important updates reach you instantly wherever you work. Simply set up triggers in the Notifications app and start receiving automated messages based on your chosen conditions. Whether you need to monitor a single entity or an entire group, the app makes it easy to configure notifications that match your operational needs.

This means no more manually checking dashboards or reports to catch changes. You can receive instant alerts when an entity’s condition changes, when thresholds are breached, or when specific operational events occur, allowing you to respond quickly and keep services running smoothly.

With these capabilities, the Notifications app ensures your teams remain informed, responsive, and proactive in maintaining the health of your IT environment.

Refined analysis for precise audits

Audit smarter with precision filters, targeted timelines, and instant user activity insights for fast, focused, and effortless investigations.

The latest Audit app release makes it easier than ever to run targeted and efficient investigations. You can focus your analysis by filtering on specific source and target dimensions, helping you quickly find events like changes to a particular Gateway or commands run on a specific host.

Time-based filters let you narrow results to precise periods, such as spotting failed log-on attempts at a certain time or reviewing all actions from a specific day. You can also track what individual users did over any chosen timeframe, with clear details on actions like configuration changes and the context behind them. With simple controls for fields, filters, and search, these updates make auditing faster, more accurate, and more intuitive.
