Server performance monitoring is critical in today’s complex IT environments. You need to know when a server stops working, so that you can get it fixed well before the phone rings. And if customers complain about slow response times, it's important to be able to assure them that the server is performing normally, without delays due to high CPU, memory or disk loads.
InterMapper is real-time, end-to-end server monitoring software. It tests your server performance every 30 seconds, not every minute or five minutes like other solutions. And it provides a synthetic transaction to prove that the server is actually functioning, instead of simply responding to a ping or TCP connection.
InterMapper offers a broad set of built-in server monitoring tools for all aspects of server performance. Our cross platform network mapping software works for Windows server monitoring, Mac server monitoring or Linux server monitoring. For Windows server monitoring, InterMapper checks WMI information (
Windows Management Instrumentation as well as the state of
Windows services).
You can monitor your Mac OS X servers with the Xserve probes that test the server hardware and the associated services. For Linux server monitoring (and Windows and OSX as well) InterMapper gets information from the
Host Resources to view CPU, Memory, and disk utilization.
And if you are using Lights Out Management (LOM), InterMapper's
IPMI probe alerts you to hardware problems in your server.
If the built-in capabilities don't completely fill your needs, InterMapper has a plugin architecture that lets you create plugins to test your own equipment. Our customers have contributed probes for the following equipment, and you can also use other plugins from Nagios, Big Brother, etc.
