Real time monitoring and testing helps prevent issues before they start. CPU usage, memory, disk space, uptime (ping response), web page checks and more are just the beginning. IPMI, SNMP, Syslog, and even Modbus for SCADA applications are accessible for monitoring. Hyper-V replication status, DNS, NTP, Windows Event Log and services - it's all at your finger tips. Monitor Windows, Linux, IOT devices, and more. For those few situations that we don't have a ready made solution, you can write scripts that can monitor, and report back stats for charts and alerts. Nagios-compatible plugin support is included. Remote monitoring, across the city, or across the world, is made easy with our Satellite Monitoring engine. It will monitor its local network and securely report back to your central installation. No incoming ports in the remote network need to be opened. Working with remote servers and monitors is as easy as working with local resources in the Console GUI application. Automatic groups allow you to apply templates to servers and devices based on properties of the device, more easily automating your setup and configuration. Many customers tell us this is the easiest to configure and use monitoring software that they have ever tried. Configuration security is a concern, so users of the application can be granted varying rights to do their job. Auditing of the changes helps keep track of who is doing what. Rich alerting, including event escalation, event deduplication and alert suppression are all configurable, and help you get the alerts you need, without being bombarded with noise. This fully on-premises software lets you completely control your data. Perpetual licenses, and well as monthly subscriptions are available. We are continually working on improving the software, and appreciate getting customer requests and feedback.
