AppPerfect Agentless Monitor Server
- Agentless: AppPerfect Monitor is a new generation of monitoring systems that do not depend on the traditional/legacy
agents-based approach to monitoring. Agents impose a great deal of complexity to the monitoring infrastructure and consume large
amounts of resources and are intrusive. Agentless monitors, instead, depend on remotely taking advantage of services available on
the monitored device. Technique utilized to monitor each device differs, however, the common goal is to make it unnecessary to spend
huge amounts of time and resources dealing with a legacy agents-based monitoring system.
- Pure Web-based, customizable UI: The AppPerfect Monitor uses a three-tier application architecture with a pure Web-based
user interface. The UI is intuitive and easy to use. No need to install large applications or applets to be able to monitor your
application infrastructure. With only a browser and Web access, you can easily and seamlessly keep track of your application
infrastructure from virtually anywhere.
- Ultra light-weight device monitors: Each supported "device" has a corresponding "monitor" available inside the AppPerfect
Monitor. These monitor work with their respective devices in a non-intrusive manner. The overhead involved with this type of
monitoring is often minimal. Most often, the device's built-in services are utilized to extract monitoring information. Configuring
the monitors is a snap and often requires only the bare minimal information. A wide variety of devices are currently supported.
With an open interface, custom monitors are also possible.
- Robust data management: AppPerfect Monitor provides extensive support to gather and manage the collected data. Frequency
of data collection can be set to achieve a granular view of your application infrastructure. As the new devices and data grow,
support for data consolidation and data archiving is provided. For data that is no longer needed, data purging is supported.
- Sophisticated rules engine for alerts: AppPerfect Monitor provides a sophisticated rules engine to help you design insightful
rules to monitor your application infrastructure and alert you when something is not right. AppPerfect Monitor UI provides a
"Rule Builder" which makes creation of rules a relatively simple task. Unlike some tools, AppPerfect Monitor fully supports rules
where time and duration are a component. For example, send an alert if CPU Usage stays above 90% for 15 seconds.
- Automated alert notification: If a monitored application or device violates any of the rules that are defined, the
notification server in AppPerfect Monitor will create an "alert" and automatically notify the necessary personnel about the
violation. The recipients of the alert are defined when the rule is defined. Notification can be sent in a variety of mediums,
including email and SMS. The notification server provides an open interface which can be extended to provide the user a
customized notification mechanism.
- Powerful reporting infrastructure: AppPerfect Monitor provides powerful, real-time, informative and accurate reports
that help you trace problems that might be present in the system. Reports are typically used to analyze data that spans over a
period of time. Often, such data analysis helps in better understanding the user experience. AppPerfect provides you with
extensive reporting capability. You can customize and generate reports that provide you information that is tailor made to your
requirements. It allows you to leverage existing content in several formats. A full featured "Report Designer Wizard" makes it easy
to build comprehensive, high-impact, presentation quality reports. Reports can be generated as HTML and PDF formats.
- Security and access control: AppPerfect Monitor provides for security and controlled access to all aspects including
viewing status, reports, rules, alerts and so on for viewing of reports and access to the configuration sections of the AppPerfect
Monitor. Access is based on users and groups, with a super-user controlled overall privilege structure.
- Data Management: AppPerfect Monitor provides support for data consolidation, archiving, purging of data.
