What Should You Be Monitoring with Your RMM? 28 Recommendations

remote monitoring and alerting checklist

As an MSP, monitoring and alerting are central to the services you provide. Good monitoring practices enable you to proactively identify issues, resolve them faster, and be more effective. Better monitoring can also play a key role in generating additional revenue and keeping your clients more satisfied.

The challenge is knowing what to monitor for, what requires an alert, which issues can be automatically resolved, and which need a personal touch. That knowledge can take years to develop, and even then the best teams can still struggle with reducing alert fatigue and ticket noise across client devices.

To help those just getting started condense that ramp-up time and narrow their focus, we’ve put together this list of ideas for 25+ conditions to monitor. These recommendations are based on suggestions from our partners and from NinjaRMM’s experience helping MSPs build effective, actionable monitoring. Read more

How to Remotely Manage BitLocker Disk Encryption Using PowerShell and NinjaRMM

rmm use cases tips animated

NinjaRMM’s 4.6 release included a significant improvement to our automation — the introduction of script output monitoring. This new feature allows our partners to monitor the output of scripts and create alerts, notifications, and tickets based on that output. It also provides the capability to trigger automations based on those same script outputs.

One example of how to use this enhancement is to automatically manage BitLocker disk encryption from directly within NinjaRMM with the help of PowerShell. Read more

The Flail, Goldilocks, and the V.C.R.: Why MSPs need to look closely at the “software company life cycle” when deciding to buy a SaaS product

Where your software vendor is in the software life cycle will profoundly affect your user experience

Imagine you picked up the phone and heard the following pitch from a sales rep at a software-as-service company selling to your MSP…

“Hi! Our brand-new product lacks 8 crucial features and crashes about twice a week.  And I’m not totally confident we’ll still be around in 6 months, and we only have one support guy.  But we’re cheap!  Can I offer you 3 months for free?”

Raises an eyebrow, right?  And he’s not kidding about going out of business: CB Insights found that 90% of startups fail within the first 4 years.
