Our Process: How We Deliver Efficient System Engineer L1 Support
Our L1 System Engineers follow a structured workflow to maintain system reliability:
Alert Triage & Prioritization
RMM tools like ConnectWise Automate or NinjaRMM generate alerts for disk failures, high CPU usage, or backup job failures. Engineers classify alerts by severity and assign them to predefined workflows.
Immediate Remediation
For common issues (e.g., full disk space, stopped services), engineers execute automated scripts, restart processes, or deploy patches. All actions are logged in your PSA tool (e.g., Autotask, HaloPSA).
Vendor Coordination
Hardware warranty claims or software license renewals are escalated to vendors with detailed error logs and asset details to expedite replacements or updates.
Preventive Health Checks
Daily/weekly reviews of server event logs, backup success rates, and antivirus definition statuses ensure compliance with operational baselines.
Documentation & Reporting
Resolved tickets include root cause summaries, while weekly reports provide insights into system performance and recurring issues.
