Do these Server Monitoring Problems sound Familiar (scroll over icons below to see)?
Virtual and Physical Chaos
Service Level Reporting Nightmares
Tough to Trust
Too Much Work
Framework Headaches
Not Deep Enough
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Too Much Data: There's just too much complex
data with no clear path to resolution, or the collected metrics aren't deep
enough to help with your root-cause analysis. Too much time is spent digging
into system logs instead of solving the problems
Isolate
the Problem: Ensure a monitoring tool can
quickly determine if it's an application, server, or network problem. When
the IT Services and Applications aren't performing well, a solution should
tell you why, allowing you to take proactive measures before things becomes
critical
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Virtual and Physical Chaos:
It can be tough to see what you have and what is going on in your virtual and
physical environments from one place. How can you find virutalization
opportunities in your IT
infrastrucutre and then how do you monitor, analyze and report on them?
See Everything Clearly: Consider a solution
that can monitor and report on
all the physical and virtual machines, including VMware,
AIX LPARs, and
Solaris Containers.
Look for a "Server
Virtualization" report that can automatically discover which
servers in your infrastructure might be ripe for a virtualization.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Service Level Reporting Nightmares:
It's hard to see if you are meeting or not meeting my
Service level
Agreements
(SLA), and then why or why not. How do you generate Service Level
reports to prove you and your teams are doing a good job? When things do
go wrong, how can you prove that
it wasn't your team's fault?
Dashboards and Professional
Automated Reporting: Demand simple and clear automated IT reports that
will
show management that objectives and SLAs are being met. Ensure you have a
IT Dashboard view
of systems that's valuable for both for the end user and the IT executive.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Tough to Trust: Too
many false or non-existent IT
monitoring alerts means it's tough to trust the alerting system
anymore and users are finding out about outages before you do
Solution
Intelligence: Look for intelligent alerting and auto-recovery that can
save you before things get out of hand. A solution should automatically find what
you have and start monitoring without any
hassles. The more automation, the easier
it will be.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Too Much Work: You're
sick of baby sitting your current server monitoring
solution. There are too many
manual tasks, and not enough server monitoring that is automated.
Everything
Automated: Everything that can be automated is, to give you and your
IT staff the time to focus on more important projects
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Framework Headaches:
The big frameworks that management bought are draining your budget and your soul.
It's painful to deploy, there's no practical and easy training that help you solve
the real problems, and you don't want expensive consultants and vendors. The agents
are too heavy, and complex, adding load to your servers.
Easy
to Use: Find a server monitoring software that's easy to learn, deploy,
& manage. Make sure it just works, no matter what. If you want to keep your framework, use a monitoring tool that can snap in and integrate with your framework easily.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Not Deep Enough: SNMP
and agentless monitoring is not giving enough data to help solve problems, intermittent/short
life problems are hard to find, and you don't have the time to re-invent the wheel
with low end freeware custom scripting.
Use invisible
agents (passive and lightweight): Agentless monitoring won't give you
the detailed metrics you need for real root-cause analysis.
Also beware of the
framework 'heavy' agents, that put too much load on the servers. Look
for 'invisible'
agents that are lightweight and capture detailed metrics as part of
your solution.

UnixReview.com - "What an impressive product this is..."
"There is something to be said for boastfulness. It is fun to read a caution on
the uptime software web site that says, 'up.time installs in minutes and works exactly as
advertised. It is even more refreshing to find that there is really something to back it up.
I hesitate to use the expression "best browser-based monitoring software" because
those things are always bandied about in reviews to the point where they lose significance,
but in this case that has to be said. I hope the following sections will do some justice to
what an impressive product this is." -

Review reviews up.time
When it comes to server monitoring, up.time is "frankly, superb"- Techworld
"An excellent tool for monitoring just about any server platform you care to mention.
up.time is, frankly, superb. Ridiculously easy to use, vast range of platforms supported, and
addresses all the monitoring, reporting and alerting needs of the system manager. Buying
advice: If you want a piece of software to monitor your servers and the services they
run, don.t bother looking at any alternatives: buy this one." - David Cartwright, TechWorld.

review of up.time
"up.time is a Set it and Forget it Monitoring Tool" says SunHelp.
"A couple of years ago, I finally decided to look at commercial offerings again (despite
a bad experience with HP OpenView) and had the opportunity to use up.time. Once I set it up
to monitor my systems, I didn’t have to deal with it. To quote a late-night infomerical,
“set it and forget it”! I’m glad to report that the “configure it,
forget about it” ease of use remains in the new release, and if anything, is easier to
use." - Bill Bradford, SunHelp. For the full review, please visit here: The SunHelp

Problems are highlighted before they become critical." – Cristian Speranta, Senior Consultant. Smart and Final
"It's essential that we're up and running 24/7. up.time ensures we're in the green and that helps us sleep better at night." - Ken Jones, The State of Oregon
