Monitis Announces Scheduled On-Demand Testing

Posted by Mikayel Vardanyan | Posted in Articles, News, Press Releases | Posted on 09-10-2009

Schedule load tests at your convenience!

Press Release

San Jose, CAOct 9, 2009 – Monitis Inc., a leading provider of affordable cloud-based performance management solutions, today announced a new scheduling feature for its on-demand load testing product.

Monitis’ WebLoadTester is an on-demand website load and stress testing service. It allows unlimited virtual usage generation for websites; SOAP/SOA based architectures, and databases. Now website owners and webmasters can easily plan tests in advance, save lots of time, and ensure website availability during high traffic hours. Until now, users were able to do only instant testing.

The new feature will allow them to schedule future testing in three different ways:

One-time scheduling allows the users to schedule a single test on the chosen date and time. It can be used to schedule a test at night, during low traffic hours.

Periodic scheduling lets the users test URLs recurrently according to the period the user selects. The period can be every second or third week, every night, the first/last day of the week/month/year, and so on. Users may schedule a cautionary load test, say every Sunday, to ensure new releases do not compromise website load handling capacities.

Periodic Cron scheduling is for users that prefer to use Cron Expressions to set times and dates for scheduled load tests.

 

All options are available in only one click. More at: http://portal.webloadtester.com

Monitis Releases User-Friendly Enhancements to its Leading Cloud-Based IT Monitoring Platform

Posted by Mikayel Vardanyan | Posted in News, Press Releases | Posted on 28-09-2009

Press Release

San Jose 23 Sept, 2009 Monitis Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise-class IT systems monitoring platform, Monitis has added a number of enhancements to the user interface in its new release.

With the addition of a bottom toolbar (similar to that found in Facebook and MySpace), the dashboard has been made even easier for IT administrators and web business managers to use efficiently. For example, users can now change the view date of all the widgets with a single action, chat directly with experts at Monitis, and review the most up-to-date Monitis news and support information.

Monitis now allows the management of all external monitors from a single, central location. This central management system enables customers to edit network settings, monitor timeouts, change monitoring locations, schedule maintenance, and schedule and set up notification rules for all monitors from a single place. Users are also able to export a list of all current monitors with their names, types, and urls, and have the option to print this list or save it as a local file.

IT specialists had often requested a lighter, stripped-down Monitis version of the charts without flash. Flash often gets switched off by admins for security reasons, and IE-based browsers often provide a better overall experience without flash. Responding to those requests, that option is now available.

Many IT managers and sysadmins asked for plain-text e-mail alerts, simply because they use phones and other mobile devices that don’t support full html format. This is now available too. The subject and body of the e-mail alerts have been simplified, the test name appears in the subject line, and there’s more information about the location of the failure.

Monitis Launches Database Load Testing from the Cloud

Posted by Mikayel Vardanyan | Posted in Articles, News, Press Releases | Posted on 03-09-2009

Press Release

San Jose 31 Aug, 2009 Monitis Inc., a premier provider of centralized systems monitoring in the cloud, today announces a new important release for its on-demand load testing service. New version of Monitis’ WebLoadTester allows database performance management and load testing from the cloud.

The new release of the Monitis’ WebLoadTester allows generation of the load for popular databases such as open source MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL, DB2 and others from the cloud. Usually it is the database that interferes with performance bottlenecks in the system and often just a single SQL query will be able to destroy the performance of the whole application. WebLoadTester makes database performance tuning simpler and affordable for application developers, database administrators (DBA), performance and quality engineers.

Applications load and performance testing are considered by many to be the “killer application”for cloud computing. WebLoadTester already supports both static and script based http load tests and supports SOAP load testing for service oriented architectures (SOA). WebLoadTester makes the load testing affordable for all kinds of businesses. The price per test is estimated to be as low as $4.18 per test with the use of  Monitis load tester. A user just has to enter the parameters of a database connection and queries, which he/she is keen to load and test metrics for. With a single click the load test will get started and the performance report will be generated. Then through e-mails it will be sent to the users and will be reachable on the web. These tests can be saved and recurrently executed by the users.

Professional Web testing requires effective resource monitoring. Monitis systems performance monitoring oversees utilization of resources such as databases, application servers, load balancers, and firewalls. During load tests, usage information about these resources can be collected and analyzed. When problems arise, you will need information about how resources are used throughout the entire structure of your Web application. “Our goal is to provide our customers an easy and cost efficient centralized performance management in the cloud, so that there is no need of purchasing, deploying and maintaining multiple servers, tools and services.” says Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis.

Monitis Launches On-Demand Cloud Storage Monitoring Service.

Posted by Mikayel Vardanyan | Posted in Articles, News, Press Releases | Posted on 01-09-2009

Press Release

San Jose 26 Aug, 2009 Monitis Inc., a leading provider of hosted enterprise-class systems management software, launched a new cloud monitoring service. Monitis provides user-friendly, cost-effective systems monitoring through a software-as-service approach. Monitis’ on-demand cloud monitoring service is now enhanced through Amazon S3 monitoring. This new ability, Monitis S3 Monitoring, lets the customers independently monitor their S3 usage and storage, and notifies customers when they reach prescribed thresholds. Monitis thus provides its customers with greater access and control over the cloud infrastructure.

The Simple Storage Service, or S3, is an online storage service, offered by Amazon’s Web Services division. Amazon S3 uses a simple web interface to provide unlimited data storage. This was the first web service that Amazon offered to the public, first in the United States in March 2006 and then in Europe in November 2007. Amazon has charged users monthly by the gigabyte, with additional charge for each get or put request and for bandwidth used to send and receive stored data. There are an estimated 52 billion objects stored on Amazon S3 as of March 2009. S3 also includes image and web hosting and a back-up for its storage.

Monitis already provides EC2 monitoring, and now adds S3 storage service monitoring as well. This gives Monitis the ability to show its users graphical displays illustrating the number of objects in each virtual folder (known as buckets), their total size, the number of virtual folders, and the number of objects in each bucket etc. Users can set notification rules for each metric that Monitis monitors. They can choose to be notified by Twitter, instant messaging, SMS, and/or email when any threshold is reached.

Monitis is an independent service that can be used by business administrators and IT managers to monitor and exercise control over their Amazon cloud usage. Cloud computing customers do not typically own the physical assets that store their software. Instead, cloud computing customers usually pay for only what they use, and enjoy the cloud resource as a service. Cloud customers need more visibility into the cloud than other service users, to make sure that their software is running properly. The Monitis cloud monitoring system allows customers this transparency, giving users management and monitoring capabilities comparable to those enjoyed with in-house systems.

According to Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis, “On-demand cloud computing is at high demand now and needs for cloud monitoring is explicit. We cannot ignore the request and we provide fast, easy, affordable tool to address these needs”. Users who sign up for Monitis receive access to Monitis Cloud, which is a web-centric on-demand software that does not require any downloads. This is a service beneficial to those who provide IT services, and businesses ranging from small to enterprise-level.

Monitis’ WebMap Visualizes Customers Web Ecosystem

Posted by Mikayel Vardanyan | Posted in Articles, News, Press Releases | Posted on 24-08-2009

    

Press Release

San Jose 18 Aug, 2009 Monitis Inc., a leading provider of hosted enterprise-class systems management software, today releases a unique web monitoring ecosystem visualization service helping IT engineers and managers understanding their networks better in terms of status, health and manageability.

Today’s businesses regardless of size use large web infrastructures with various hosts, applications and hosting locations. Each application itself contains numerous critical URLs to be monitored for availability and performance. In average Monitis’ users monitor 30 URLs per account and occasionally significantly more, and these URLs are located in multiple hosts. After evolution of applications and infrastructure, it is becoming exigent to keep track of URLs, their monitors and which URL resides on which host. It was also hard to understand which URLs were monitored, how and what is the contemporary status – users have to get the impression of navigating multiple charts and tables to get the entire picture. Things can catch even more complex with the usage of virtualization and cloud computing, with more vibrant distributed infrastructure.

New Monitis WebMap visualization tool is an easy to use tool ideal for IT business needs. The tool helps in understanding the network better in terms of status, health monitoring and the ability to deal with failures in a timelier manner. This tool allows easy movement between parents and sub-maps and has the ability to zoom in and out. A multilevel geographical color picture of the web infrastructure can be created. This allows the user to determine the status of the network by looking at the icons provided. By using the Monitis web-interface, IP subnets and hosts that the user has added for monitoring purposes can be viewed. If desired, a large, high-quality topology map can be printed for the IT administrator.


“As we see it, our job is to make life easier for IT specialists and managers by automating the task of holistic web ecosystem monitoring. Our new Monitoring WebMap allows the users to get a level of control and visibility that they have never had before, without raising the cost of monitoring” says Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis “Users will be able to see the status of their entire networks within a few seconds.” This new service will be available for Monitis’ customers without charge. “Regardless of summer vacation time we were releasing new features almost weekly and are departing to deliver more features very quickly for our customers satisfaction” adds the CEO.

Monitis Command-Line Tools Creates New Opportunities for IT Administrators

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in News, Press Releases | Posted on 23-07-2009

Press Release

San Jose 22 July, 2009 Monitis Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-class systems management software as a service, launches a command line interface for its premiere on-demand cloud-based monitoring platform. Command-line tools will make the job of IT systems administrators automated and productive.

Utilizing the command line is the quickest, simplest, and most efficient way to get a job done.  While many computer users have become dependent on graphics-based programs, the most skilled and accomplished computer users know that the command line (i.e., terminal) is still the best tool for getting the job done.  With a few key tools and computer skills any computer user can take advantage of the benefits of using the command line with the help of Monitis.  Monitis’ Command Line Tools (Monitis CLT) running from the Linux/UNIX or Windows command line allows the user to easily run most Monitis tasks and functions through use of the Monitis API in place of a web interface.

A CLI or command-line interface gives users the ability to interact with a computer’s operating system or software by typing simple commands.  Experienced users, programmers, network and system administrators, and those in scientific fields most often make use of CLI, although those with visual impairments also find the type-based nature of CLI useful.  CLI offers two distinct advantages to users overall:  the ability to script a set of commands to perform tasks or executables and the ability to work faster with fewer commands than a GUI user.

Although Monitis CLT is still in an early version, there are still many services available to users, ranging from a list of monitoring locations, a list of added monitors, performance monitoring results, and top issues in overall tests. They can also build their own workflows using shell scripts. The output can be saved as a plain text file or as comma separated values (CSV). The files can be later opened in Excel or Word for performance or failure root cause analysis. In the future, Monitis will support all the functions available in the web version.

The benefits of Monitis command line tools are amazing.  Whether you are an IT developer or administrator, you will enjoy a number of convenient features.  Easy integration with our enterprise software, automated management duties, use of Excel or Word to review performance data, fast and convenient terminal interface access (especially convenient for Linux/Unix administrators), and the ability to make custom enhancements to Monitis functions, are all part of the experience.  Users can use the web application interface or Monitis portal to download the tools.  Monitis command line tools go beyond the existing Monitis iGoogle widgets and Firefox plug-in.  IT professionals will find innovative ways to manage data on how well the system is functioning.

New Monitis Links-Checker Service Regularly Monitors and Reports Broken Links

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in News, Press Releases | Posted on 21-07-2009

Press Release
San Jose 20 July, 2009 Monitis Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-class systems management software as a service, launches a new free service for website administrators. Links-Checker checks websites links daily and reports broken and dead-end links to users.

Links-Checker is a free service that you can use to monitor your website for dead-end and broken links. Clicking on links that go nowhere is very aggravating for the people visiting your website.  Maybe you deleted old material that is outdated, but forgot that other pages provided a link for that; or maybe you provided a link to some other site that has ceased to be.  There does exist a free service to help you with this problem: Links-Checker.  Links-Checker will read the pages you specify, and check out all the links, and return a report to you about the status of all the links on those pages. This process will be repeated until your entire website has been examined.  You can provide multiple contacts for reporting issues found, so that you can rectify your problems in a timely manner, for the convenience of your website visitors.

It is not easy to keep website pages consistent and working well.  You want your websites to be found in search engines and working well when people are navigating through it.  404 errors occur when broken links are found and hinders search engine success.  Each broken link makes it harder for sites to reach the top of the search engine results.  Search engines will give you a lower ranking if your site has many errors.  Links-Checker will increase your traffic and improve your search engine rank by quickly and simply testing the links from your site. Links-Checker service was among the most frequently requested new features.

“Monitis works hard to give you the best and easiest to use network and systems monitoring software available.” said Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Monitis. “IT managers, network administrators, and systems operators will appreciate the time they can save due to our unique cloud-based systems design.   Our services can be configured quickly and are user-friendly, and we help our customers efficiently maintain high uptime. We are also committed to provide free SaaS (software as a service) tools and Links-Checker is new to our line of monitoring services, like free website monitoring service mon.itor.us and the network monitoring service monitorSNMP (http://monitorsnmp.com).  In the near future, we will add more SaaS-based solutions to our line.”  Monitis cloud-based services can make website maintenance a breeze for website owners. Systems faults and performance monitoring, as well as their newest product Lines-Checker, will save for them considerable time and money while keeping their websites running smoothly.

Monitis Adds Support for Solaris Platform

Posted by Hovhannes Avoyan | Posted in News, Press Releases | Posted on 14-07-2009

Monitis customers can now monitor Sun Solaris machines.

Press Release

San Jose 14 July, 2009 Monitis Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise-class systems management software as a service, today announces the release of remote monitoring agent for Solaris platform from Sun Microsystems.

Monitis monitoring agent is a small-footprint, easy to install code that is part of Monitis cloud based, distributed monitoring platform.  The agent runs on clients’ machines, collecting and transmitting information on performance and configuration of the machine, as well as the whole local network, including other servers and devices.  The information gathered is transmitted to the central Monitis server, through corporate firewalls. The new agent is available for installation on both Intel and Sparc versions of Solaris OS from Sun Microsystems, provided as open source.

The central application takes steps to find out and check agent breakdown. By receiving messages on a regular basis form agents, Monitis will be able to decide whether there is a problem. If there is one, corrective measures will be taken. Agents never use local storage, and hence, any information gathered is recorded in a separate central database on the main server. As agents use HTTPS protocol to transfer data, it is not necessary for them to have changes on the firewalls. The whole process- right from the user registration to the establishment of remote monitor- will be completed within a few minutes.

Both Linux and Windows agents are largely used by the Monitis community, which numbers up to 50,000 users.  Recently, FreeBSD support was added, and this, combined with the new Solaris addition, allows users to monitor true distributed and heterogeneous infrastructure.  Monitis combines the robust features of agent-based technology with the simplicity of agent-less technology.  This combination enables effortless systems management for its customers.

MonitorSNMP enables MIB browser

Posted by Mikayel Vardanyan | Posted in News, Press Releases | Posted on 16-06-2009

Free network monitoring service is adding professional features.

Press Release

San Jose 16 June, 2009 Monitis Inc., a leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use, enterprise class, systems management software, adds MIBs browsing to its free network monitoring service MonitorSNMP, making SNMP monitoring easy for network engineers.

A management information base (MIB) is a type of database used to manage the devices in a communications network. It comprises a collection of objects in a (virtual) database used to manage entities (such as routers and switches) in a network. MonitorSNMP monitors values of these objects and MIBs contain useful information about these objects. There are a large number of MIBs defined by both standards organizations like the IETF, private enterprises and other entities.

The new feature of MonitorSNMP allows browsing of the database by navigating the virtual object tree and finding appropriate objects according to the user’s needs. By using this tree users may instantly add monitoring of the selected object per any network device in their network. Besides standard MIBs the user may upload any MIB file. The current MIBs depository contains a large number of MIBs from well known brands like Cisco/Linksys, Microsoft, HP, Juniper Networks etc.

“Monitis is committed to providing free but advanced services to its community.” says Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO and Founder of Monitis, “One of Monitis’ free services, Mon.itor.Us, is already a recognized Internet name and it is massively used for web servers monitoring. MonitorSNMP is a similar product that we are developing for the network professionals.”

MonitorSNMP is a hosted service, so users don’t need to have a dedicated server and installed software, and they don’t have all the maintenance problems that go with them. Instead they just need to download a small footprint agent and run it on any Linux, Windows, FreeBSD or Solaris machine, and use it as a local monitoring point. The performance data will be submitted by the agent to MonitorSNMP central server via HTTPS protocol, and will be instantly available from the Web. A great advantage of this approach is that in a matter of minutes network specialists can setup the monitoring of the distributed network.

Monitis is planning to launch new free services in coming weeks.
