Mon system event monitoring

• Need to pro-actively manage system rather than re-actively

  • We can respond to problems as they occur rather than react to users complaining the system is down. By the time they call, we are already addressing the problem

• Protect investment in infrastructure by monitoring environment

• Mon is an extensible monitoring system providing email alerts and ability to interface with pagers or SMS

  • We can monitor almost everything: web, ERP, fileserver, email, system reachibility, server room temperature, UPS voltage, storage components

• Proprietary monitoring systems cost an arm and a leg
