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 Windows 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.

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.

Regional Group View

By clicking on any regional Windows server or Windows application group you get a quick and easy snapshot of all servers and applications in a specific area. This gives you a bird's-eye view of regional performance and availability. Color-coded problem identification makes it easy to identify problems that are occurring with server performance, system resources, applications and IT service outages. Problem servers 'float' to the top of your regional view to make their identification quick and easy. Once identified, simply click on the host name, or critical flag and you'll be able to isolate the root cause by drilling down to many root cause analytics, graphs and metrics.

Alerting, Escalation and Automated Recovery

Alerting, escalation, and automated recovery are powerful options  built into up.time that will improve availability and your relationship with end users. These features allow for automated reaction to problems detected by up.time monitors in response to outages, performance thresholds or whatever else is important to you. up.time will take the appropriate actions as defined by you including:

• Email / Pager Alerts
• Windows Popups
• Stop/Start Services

Windows Server Resource Usage Report

A powerful server report summarizing resource metrics for individual Windows servers or groups of Windows servers (or any Server platform) over any time frame. Isolate problem servers when performing root-cause analysis, or quickly identify long-term trends to facility your capacity planning process.

Widows 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.

Multi-System CPU Server Report

Compare mission-critical servers in a single view to determine which of your servers are busiest and decide if they need to be upgraded soon. Drill down and analyze graphs in-depth using ActiveX and to get all the information you need to make the right decisions.
