If 2020 had you shuffling monitors and laptops all over the country, 2021 isn’t going to make things any easier.

New SAML Group Mapping Support

SAML authentication allows you to log into your Active Directory® domain or intranet and have immediate access to Papertrail, with no additional login required.

Group mapping allows you to define organization and product roles, and grant access to logs and billings plans, by adding an account to an identify provider group.

Often, organizations are already collecting and processing large amounts of IT telemetry streams and using multiple solutions to monitor their systems. So, predictive monitoring seems like the logical next step.
