Super Bowl & Server Monitoring
Another Super Bowl Sunday goes by, and to all the Seahawks fans doubling as system administrators, congratulations. And to all the Broncos supporters, there is always next year to bounce back. Regardless of your team affiliation, however, your task as a system admin is to take care of all the servers that act as the life line of your company because if there is any downtime, you very well know there is no next time or bouncing back. Downtime causes huge loses and can destroy the goodwill of any organization.
Site24x7 might not help your favorite NFL franchise win the Lombardi trophy, but we can surely help you maintain the uptime and status of your server farm. Site24x7 captures and analyzes critical metrics such as CPU usage, memory, disk, processes, services, and network utilization for Windows and Linux machines; and we can instantaneously alert you in case of downtime.
Highlights
- Gain insight into server status and performance
- Understand usage patterns and plan resource requirements in advance with the extensive reporting feature
- View critical information in easy to understand charts -all in a single unified dashboard
How does it work?
No rocket science here. Just download and install the server monitoring agent in the server that requires monitoring. Once installed, the agent will collect the server metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage every five minutes. You can also configure thresholds and choose to be alerted if any of the resources/usage statistics cross the set thresholds
Cloud-friendly architecture
The agent running in your on-premise machine and the Site24x7 service running in the cloud communicate via a secure, one-way HTTPS protocol. This assures there are no holes in the firewall, so your data is safe and accessible anytime from the cloud.
Free service to complement your IT
We have also recently launched the industry's first free service to monitor your on-premise monitoring solutions. This service lets you move beyond the traditional approach to monitoring, i.e., using homegrown scripts that are limited in functionality and cannot report on downtime anytime, anywhere. Our free service automatically detects any monitoring solution running on the server and marks it free for monitoring. You can start/stop the services from the Site24x7 dashboard and can take corrective action from a handheld device.
Server monitoring might not be as exciting as Super Bowl Sunday, but its not any less critical. Enjoy the games and stay downtime free.
