Monitis and its related service Semonics are offering a variety of checks, monitors, tracking tools and alerting which could be a valuable utility for  search engine marketing and online brand management. The diagram below represents what kind of metrics can be measured and which is the impact of the metrics on traffic and cost.

Couple of months later after the introduction of notification rules mechanism for external monitors, Monitis Team is happy to announce a similar notifications mechanism for internal monitors. Unlike external monitors, where failure is defined as a site availability problem, in case of internal monitoring the failure depends on many different resources of the server, such as CPU, Memory, Drive, Processes, etc. So in case of internal monitoring users should specify limits(thresholds). When any of the specified limits reach the corresponding threshold notification could be sent. Further, after the value is normalized, corresponding recovery notification is sent. Below you can see some examples of thresholds and specification of internal monitoring rules:

You can see the same popups as it is shown above when adding Internal Monitor with the list of parameters(limits) specific to each type of monitored resource. If you don’t specify these parameters during the addition, you can do that later from each module’s edit mode. In order to receive notifications in case of any of your setup parameters reached their thresholds, you should setup rules(specify contacts notifications should be sent to and several other options). Rules popup is automatically presented after clicking on the “Add” button and has the following view:

In the header of the popup you can see the name you specified for this monitor, and below you can specify the contacts and other notification related parameters for this monitor. You can also skip the setup of notifications and do that later by going to edit the mode of the corresponding monitor.

After you have done correctly all the above mentioned steps, you will start receiving notifications, every time your server has any internal problems.

Monitis Inc., a leading provider of web applications, systems and network monitoring and analytics service, announces an upgrade of its systems monitoring service. The new launch is in line with Monitis strategy to serve as one-stop monitoring destination for IT and business users.

Network, systems and application monitoring are essential utilities to insure high website ROI. While external monitoring measures web user experience, internal monitoring ensures proactive problem fixing for a better end-user experience. Poor web availability may significantly impact web generated profit, company reputation and its operations. Monitoring as a Service offers significant advantages over in-house monitoring software, such as no installations, no license fees, no support personnel, no dedicated servers, access from anywhere, support for distributed infrastructure like regional offices and dispersed data centers.

Internal or systems monitoring is one of Monitis monitoring products for visualizing Windows and Linux (Sun support will be available soon) servers resource utilization and performance metrics, such as CPU and processes. Beside other improvements, the latest release of the Windows agent can run as a Windows service (one of the most demanded feature). Linux agent was also enhanced to collect additional server metrics such as caches and buffered memory metrics. Combined with external performance metrics, systems monitoring captures systems performance bottlenecks, for example how low memory or high CPU utilization affect web site response time. The upgrade of the feature will be done automatically for the existing users.

“Monitis personal dashboard provides performance metrics important both for IT and businesses users”, says Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis CEO and Founder “Different user roles within enterprise will find critical information for better decisions making and improving operations efficiency. It appears to be a unique service mix at the market”

Monitis will have series of new announcements next weeks.
