Helpdesk Integration

I've introduced PRTG to the company I've recently started working for and they have been impressed with the product and what it is providing, so much so that we've signed a client up on a 1000 sensor licence for three years! One of the questions that has been asked is whether we can manage the Alarms using the existing Helpdesk Software (ServiceDesk Plus)?

Rather than manage the alarms in two places (One alert in the Servicedesk system and another in PRTG) they would like the Notification to be sent to our support email which would automatically generate a ticket and when the ticket is closed on the Servicedesk a response to go back the other way which triggers the close ticket action within PRTG.

Is this possible and, if it is, how would we go about configuring it?

Thanks

Happy to hear that you're happy with PRTG! :) The problem with scenarios like that is that, while opening a new ticket within a ServiceDesk might not be an issue, the closing of the same is, as you can't store incident numbers within PRTG. The only way I could think of is to come up with some kind of man in the middle that is running with PRTGapi (see my signature) that handles the incidents between the two.

One would need to maintain a small database that allows to connect issues (i.e. down states) with actual tickets. Or you could create the case via API in ServiceDesk Plus and use the returned incident number as a tag in the object that is down. Once the issue is resolved, you remove the incident number from the object. Something like that, but it might be a bit of work.

We would be super interested in that interaction between SD Plus and PRTG as well.
