These allow you to isolate resource issues quickly, and plan accurately to ensure optimal resource capacity across your enterprise.

Quick Root-Cause Analysis

up.time collects all the application and process statistics you need to make root-cause analysis and problem isolation easy. Simply click on any system being monitored by up.time and you'll have detailed historical process information. From here, you can quickly isolate agents responsible for performance degradation by determining how various user and system-level processes are consuming resources.

Service Level Agreement Management

Monitor your web-based applications the same way your users experience them: by having up.time walk through your web site using a simulated user transaction. The Web Application Transaction Monitor replicates user transactions, allowing you to report on performance degradation and review which portion of a user transaction is causing the greatest performance impact on your servers.

Monitor Applications

Do you need to monitor IT services consisting of applications, databases, middleware and network infrastructure? No problem. Business server monitoring and reporting on the availability of applications such as ERP, CRM, eCommerce, Web Portals, or any other applications is made simple with up.time.

Simply define a new Application in up.time and then select the associated service monitors, application performance monitors, server monitors and network probes from a simple scroll list. up.time will immediately begin tracking the overall availability of your newly defined application or service through color-coded indicators and allow you to produce comprehensive availability reports in PDF, XML and HTML format. When you think server management tools, think up.time.

Monitoring Services

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 or quickly define your own custom application probes in minutes. For example, monitoring databases and applications including Oracle, SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange is made easy with up.time's pre-defined monitor templates.

Or, by using Advanced Monitors, up.time will execute any custom scripts you develop and perform your service checking and alerting for you. This saves you time and effort and protects your current investment. up.time is the only server management software that you'll need.

Service Monitor Availability Report

Improve the availability of your IT services by getting fast, accurate updates about all your critical system services and then proactively taking the necessary steps to avoid unnecessary service outages. This report lists the percentage of time each service has been in OK, Warning, Critical, Maintenance, or Unknown states over any period of time you specify.

Service Monitor Outages Report

Once your identify service availability shortfalls, using the Service Monitor Availability Report (above), you can quickly drill deeper into any problems and get more specific information about the events leading to specific outages. Use this information to get up and running again, or zero in on potential problems and prevent them from causing an outage. The Service Outages report lists all warning or critical events for services that have occurred over a specified time period.

Service Monitor Metrics Report

Need to get detailed graphs of all your application and enterprise service metrics for isolating availability problems or capacity planning for optimal resource usage? No problem. This report will instantly give you historical trends and graphs for all server, application, database and IT service statistics that are retained by your application and service monitors. For example, see a graph on detailed metrics like number of SQL Server Transactions/sec over the last day or week, or countless other key enterprise metrics.

Enterprise CPU Utilization Server Report

A very powerful report that simplifies enterprise capacity planning. up.time scans all servers across your enterprise and then (based on the number of CPUs in each server and their specific CPU clock speeds) defines an enterprise CPU metric known as a Power Unit. Now you have the ability to report on total enterprise CPU capacity in Power Units and see what your total remaining CPU capacity is across your enterprise now and over time. A must have tool for getting a quick snapshot across hundreds and thousands of servers and making important decisions around spending and how to optimize CPU capacity across your enterprise for maximum performance. This is a must have server report.

Server Monitoring White Paper: "5 New Realities" of Server Monitoring

The reality is that server monitoring is getting much more difficult. If you’re responsible for the performance and availability, as well as maintenance, of servers, your job is tough and getting more complex every day. This guide will help you better understand the new dynamic of server monitoring.

Quick Fact Sheet:

SIX Telekurs uses up.time for Critical Server Monitoring 

"We don't have the time to constantly baby-sit all of our servers, we need server monitoring software that keeps us informed and anticipates problems before they occur," says Wally Beddoe, V.P. of Technology at Six Telekurs. "up.time meets our need from robust monitoring and capacity planning while still remaining usable and understandable. up.time has exceeded our expectations and I'm not sure if I've ever said that about a software company before."
