Quick
Root-Cause Analysis |
|
|
Simply click on any system
being monitored by RadarScan and you'll have detailed
insight into any system, its processes, applications and its
performance. From here, you will be able to quickly isolate
agents responsible for performance degradation by
determining how various user and system-level processes are
consuming resources. You can also quickly access useful
statistics including: Number of Processes, Process Creation
Rates, Processes Running/Waiting/Blocked etc. |

Monitor
Application & Service Availability |
|
|
With up.time, monitoring
critical applications, databases, web servers, network
devices and critical system-level services is as easy as
1-2-3. You can choose from any of up.time's built-in service
monitors including: Performance, Process, DHCP,DNS, FTP,
File System Capacity, HTTP/IIS (Web Servers), IMAP, LDAP
(Active Directory), mySQL, SQL Server (Basic), SQL Server
(Enhanced), MS Exchange (Enhanced), NFS, NNTP (News), Oracle
(Basic), Oracle (Enhanced), PING, POP, Samba, NT Fileshares,
SMTP (Mail servers), SNMP, Secure Shell TCP/UDP ports and
more, or you can get creative and quickly define your own
custom application probes in minutes |
 |
|
For example you can quickly
and easily configure a Web Server (HTTP) monitor which will
allow you to interact with any web server either from a
basic level, such as port checking, to much more
sophisticated probing including authentication against web
application servers such as WebLogic or WebSphere,
requesting specific URLs and then validating responses
received back from application servers. Just edit a quick
HTTP form with all the info required to perform the depth of
service probing you need, set timing options, decide upon
alert levels….and you are off to the races. |
 |
|
Once you've created all your
application and services monitors, keeping track of them,
editing them or adding more is made simple with up.time's
powerful and easy-to-use GUI driven service monitor
management system. |
 |
|
Track &
Report Service Availability |
|
|
From up.time's RadarScan view
you are just 1-click away from drilling down to ANY server
in your network to quickly get a birds-eye view of exactly
what services are running on a specific server and what
state they are in (ie. OK, Warning or Critical). You will
also immediately know HOW LONG each service has been in it's
current state with additional descriptive information and
error messages to help you drill-down and figure out what is
causing it to move into a warning or critical state. |
 |
|
With just another 2 mouse
clicks you can draw pie charts to visually summarize the
status of the specific services under investigation over a
period of minutes, hours, days, weeks or months, and then
include them in your upcoming Service-Level report, or
simply print them off and take them to your next operations
management meeting. |
 |
|
Or maybe you want to create a
report for that meeting that is a bit more comprehensive and
also provides server resource data to co-relate with your
service level information. No problem…you are just 2 mouse
clicks away. Choose from one of up.time's pre-defined
reports and simply select the data you want included! |
 |
|
Monitor IT
Service Levels |
|
|
Need to monitor complex IT
services consisting of applications, databases, file
servers, and physical server/network infrastructure? No
problem. Measuring business-level availability of services
such as ERP, Customer Relationship Management, eCommerce/Web
Portals, and in-house built environments is made simple with
up.time's built-in Meta-Services Monitoring capabilities. |
 |
|
Simply create a new
Meta-Service to track overall availability of your
business-level IT service, and then add all the lower-level
service probes, application probes (eg. web front-end, mail
servers, database servers), server host probes and even
network probes to monitor access to the servers where
critical applications reside that are part of your overall
mission-critical IT service. |
 |
|
Meta
Service Report |
|
|
Once you have done this you
can instantly begin to track overall service-level
availability through color-coded indicators which will tell
you the performance of your business service (meta-service)
and allow you to view performance of all your 'sub-level'
services |
 |
|
Alerting, Notification and Escalation |
|
Alerting,
notification and escalation options are very powerful
management tools built into up.time, which allow a series of
reactions to problems detected by up.time service monitors
in response to outages, performance thresholds or whatever
else is important to you. up.time will take the appropriate
action(s) as defined by you in your Alert Profiles,
including one or all of:
- Sending an email
- Calling a pager
- Running a system recovery script
- Sending a Windows pop-up to someone
- Sending an SNMP to any 3rd party enterprise management
console
-
Or just logging the event to file.
Start off by creating you Alert Profile and then decide who
is the person or team of people (e.g. Administrators) that
need to be notified. It's that simple. up.time will do all
the work from here. |
 |
|
Monitoring Disks and File Systems |
|
Enhanced volume, file system
and disk usage data with short or long-term statistics make
it easy for system administrators to plan for network
storage capacity now, and for the future. up.time provides
useful information including:
- Disk statistics such as: Usage, Throughput, Read/Write
requests, Avg Queue Length, Avg Service Time, Average Wait
Time, Capacity etc.
- Veritas Volume Information
- Top 10 Utilized Disk Profiles
- File System statistics and Graphs
- Overall Capacity Statistics |
 |
|
Monitoring Network
Performance |
|
Keeping track of your servers'
performance over your network is simple. By monitoring and
collecting server network interface statistics, up.time
helps you detect when anomalous activity may be occurring
and helps you determine whether a problem is server or
network related. Statistics including Network Throughput,
I/O (Bandwidth Usage), TCP Retransmits and Network Errors
make problem detection and isolation a snap.
Network errors on physical interfaces can quickly be
detected. For example, errors including Collisions in 'hubbed'
environments, and full-duplex handshake errors between
servers and network devices become easy to spot with
up.time's visual representation of these vital statistics. |
 |
|
Monitoring User Access to Servers |
|
|
Keeping track of User Access
to all servers in your network is important, specifically
during root-cause analysis investigations when you need to
identify both user load and if any correlation exists
between user logins (or number of sessions) and specific
server problems. up.time does the data capture for your
proactively, stores the data and lets you easily access and
graph these statistics through a simple pull-down menu. Once
you correlate this data with unusual load activity you are
well on your way to finding the individual activity that is
causing problems for you. |

|
Powerful 3D-Charting and
Analysis Functions |
|
|
Choose from
a multitude of Bar, Line, Surface, Bubble, Pie, Point graphs
and then Zoom, Angle, Rotate and Traverse forwards or
backwards through graphs to isolate the systems events you
need and create highly professional reports which will help
you quickly understand system behavior and effectively
communicate it to your peers and management. Once you have
created the graph you need, you can export and save it
quickly and easily into many formats including: Bitmap,
JPEG, GIF, PNG, PCX, Metafile and then email it to a peer,
save it for your next report or immediately print it off and
take it along to your next operations meeting. |
