San Jose, CA – July 26, 2010 – Having already been the first monitoring dashboard provider to switch from Flash to open-source HTML5, Monitis, the leading provider of the world’s first Cloud-based network and application monitoring suite, today announced another revolutionary advance in its technology. Now Monitis Mobile(available at m.monitis.com) will also switch from static images to HTML5, enabling phones running on iPhone OS, Android, and Symbian to run open-source HTML5-based charts instead of the Google charts as images that Monitis Mobile had previously used.

Given increasing concern surrounding the problems with Flash (battery drain, not open-source, and security vulnerabilities), Monitis was the first monitoring provider to preemptively replace Flash with open-source HTML5 on its core product. Hence, the move to open-source HTML5 on Monitis Mobile was only a matter of time.

With the new open-source HTML5 charts will load much faster and contain more interactive features. These new charts will be based on open-source Flot, a pure Javascript plotting library for iQuery.

Said CEO Hovhannes Avoyan, “We’ve done it again. With the advent of open-source HTML5-based Monitis Mobile, we’ve once more changed the game in the category. No other monitoring company is innovating as quickly as Monitis at the moment. We are indeed the ones to watch.”

Brits Briskly Developing Mobile Apps

The federal government on the Yankee side of the pond isn’t the only government obsessed — albeit with caution — with the cloud.

The U.K. government, for instance, has spent tens of thousands of pounds developing iPhone applications, according to a recent news article. Specifically, the  Brits are spending between 10,000 and 40,000 pounds per application, and they’re aimed at citizens and should improve the way they get information from the government. For example, the U.K. government, otherwise known as Whitehall, is creating such projects as a travel advice application and a jobseekers’ app for the Foreign Office.  Also, there’s one called a “Quit Smoking” app and a “Drink Tracking” app — both costing around 10,000 pounds each.

A Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) “Motoring Masterclass” app that would cost tax payers around £40,000 is also in development. Benefits? The DVLA Motoring Masterclass app could help motorists to renew their car tax, update their personal information and reduce work for DVLA employees.

Yanks no Slouches, Either

The hard development work in Britain is taking place in America, too.  On July 2nd,  the USA.gov website launched a re-design and a brand new application store featuring about 20 or so mobile applications — with some needing to be downloaded and others directly accessible via a browser. Among apps (some come with a price tag), there are a series of free health-related apps, too, for example, something called “UV Index by the EPA,” which you can use to check the UV Index and air quality ratings wherever you are.  Useful for the summertime!

Glad to see both governments doing their part to bring savings and efficiencies to U.S. taxpayers by increased use of the cloud.  Who would have thought that governments could be so farsighted as to see the savings in this important technology, especially now a days in these budget-crunching times?

For companies that depend on apps, including mobile ones, to keep their employees informed and productive on the road, it’s good to know that world-class monitoring services like Monitis exist to help ensure those apps are up and running — and if they’re not — that companies can be warned in time to get access again.

Press release

San Jose, CA – June 23, 2010 - Monitis, the leading provider of the world’s first Cloud-based network and application monitoring suite, today announced another revolutionary advance in its technology. Monitis will be the first monitoring dashboard provider to switch from Flash to open-source HTML5 when displaying dynamic content in its web-based dashboard.  This switch makes Monitis’ interactive dashboard faster and more universally compatible.  

Given increasing concern surrounding the problems with Flash (battery drain, not open-source, and security vulnerabilities), Monitis was already sensitive to the issue. When results from a recent user survey showed that Monitis users want faster-loading, non-flash charts, Monitis realized that the time had come to make the switch.

As a SaaS provider of IT management, Monitis has always been committed to making its interface as fast and user-friendly as possible. The dashboard is instantly deployable, making getting up and running simple. Ajax pop-ups allow users to perform management tasks quickly without loading multiple web pages.  With the new open-source HTML5 charts will load much faster and contain more interactive features. These new charts will be based on open-source Flot, a pure JavaScript plotting library for jQuery.

Said CEO Hovhannes Avoyan, “Liberating IT manager’s time. That is our single-minded focus. Our move to open-source HTML5 is solely about this. While the move saves our users’ time by loading faster in the short-run, HTML5 will also save them time in the long-run by being open-source and more secure than Flash. That we are the first to move to HTML5, well, that’s just par for the course for us.”

Press release

San Jose, CA – June 1, 2010 – Monitis, the leading provider of the world’s greenest, all-in-one, Cloud-based network and application monitoring suite, today announced the launch of it’s latest revolutionary tool – the Full Page Test Tool. Now, within Monitis’ award-winning suite of tools, IT managers and Web masters can mimic the load times of real browsers in a virtual environment, thereby enabling a full understanding of a given page’s performance before it actually goes live.

With Monitis’ Full Page Test Tool, users can see how long it takes to load a complete HTML page. Monitis’ Full Page Test Tool loads a given HTML page in a virtual environment, mimicking the way the page would be loaded in a Web browser.

By tracking the page load times of each individual image, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash and frames/iframes, the tool shows stats on the total number of objects, the size of each object, and load time for your web page. These are viewed in multi-color bar graphs and can be shown in load order or in a hierarchy.

Monitis’ Full Page Test Tool is useful for understanding the size of objects on a page, and analyzing things like:

• which elements take the longest to load
• how internal and external links are affected during loading
• how RSS feeds, plug-ins and other features are performing on a page
• how long it takes to connect
• the start and finish time of the load for each item on the page.

There are some important reasons for web site owners to be concerned about page load time:

1. Slow page load times negatively impact a site’s Google ranking. If the load time in slow, Google says it will impact your quality score, as pages that load slowly are bad for users. Hence, slow loading pages are bad for your SEO.

2. Slow page load times turn away users. Research has proven that slow page loads increase users’ frustration and dissatisfaction with a site. Research also has found that the maximum tolerable wait time for a page to load it about 4 seconds.

3. Slow page load times result in lost sales. Research has shown that an 8 second load time (4 seconds above the optimal load time of 4 seconds) can result in a visitor loss of up to 75.75%.

According to Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis’ Founder and CEO, “Our new Full Page Load Test Tool is a no-brainer for IT mangers and web masters serious about saving massive amounts of time. It helps them develop faster loading pages faster.”

This week we rolled out a couple new updates to the Monitis dashboard.

When you’re monitoring more than 20 or 30 services you need a good way to view them in one place.  That’s what the newly improved Monitis Snapshot views are for.  Let’s take a look at the External and URL Snapshots.

Each row is now click-able, so when you click a URL a more detailed view of that monitor will appear.   You can have multiple External Snapshots on different tabs, each set with a different tag-name.  In the URL Snapshot you can view your most critical URLs (the ones with the slowest response time) or just the top 10, 20, or 30.  Each column in these tables can be sorted, so you can quickly rank by response time or by URL alphabetically.

Internal Snapshots are similar.

The Windows Agents Snapshot shows a list of your Windows servers being monitored and their basic performance metrics.  The CPU, Memory, Drive, and Load Snapshots show the servers that require the most urgent attention.  Using tag-names and the sorting feature, monitoring even hundreds of servers becomes possible.

We also added the Full Page Monitor this week.  It is essentially an advanced external monitor.  It not only shows the response time of a webpage, but also the HTTP response code, total download time, DNS and Connection time, time to the first and last byte, and the total size of objects (js, css, images, external scripts, flash) in the webpage.  This is a great way to identify bottlenecks to your webpages.  Remember, research shows that it only takes a couple seconds before your visitors give up on your site.

To try it out, go to Add Monitor>Full Page and fill in the necessary fields.  Then click Add.


This test loads Yahoo every 5 minutes.  Click the dot and a window containing the individual objects and a table will pop up.

It’s that easy.  And Full Page Monitors start at only $5/location/month for a 20 minute interval, so you can monitor all your webpages without breaking your wallet. More features coming soon, so stay tuned!

San Jose, CA – May 3, 2010 – Monitis, the leading provider of all-in-one Cloud-based network and application monitoring suite, today announced a major new product launch: a SSH/Telnet-based server management tool. This critical addition to Monitis’ already revolutionary toolkit enables users to not only monitor their servers, but immediately fix them, as well.

Available free within Monitis’ all-in-one suite of tools, the new SSH/Telnet Server Management Tool is activated when users click on the SSH/Telnet icon. This opens a telnet screen, which enables users to access a given server and perform server management functions like restarting applications and cleaning storage.

Lightweight and available from any web browser, Monitis’ new SSH/Telnet Server Management Tool opens SSH/Telnet access to any device connected to the internet. Besides supporting ANSI formatting and enabling file uploads via SCP, the tool is especially useful when users setup Cloud monitoring. The auto-login feature means there is no need to remember logins and IP addresses – routine hassles that are inconvenient and drain time and productivity from IT managers’ already overloaded schedules.

Monitis already offers platform-independent monitoring of public and private clouds (like Amazon’s EC2 or Rackspace’s cloud), and provides lists of running instances. With its new SSH/Telnet Server Management Tool, Monitis users now only need to click on an instance and open automatically logged-in terminal access to that particular service. This significantly reduces the time required to fix problems and ultimately leads to better up-time.

According to Monitis’ Founder and CEO, Hovhannes Avoyan, “Monitis’ new SSH/Telnet Server Management Tool changes the game. It helps IT managers move from monitoring problems to fixing them in one-click. It further reinforces our mission of helping the world’s IT managers save massive amounts of time.”

San Jose, CA – April 22, 2010 – Monitis, the leading provider of all-in-one Cloud-based network and application monitoring suite, today announced a major new product launch: Java Application Monitoring.

Using their leading-edge hosted software as a service (SaaS) approach, Monitis’ Cloud-based Java Application Monitoring Tool enables IT managers to monitor any Java-based service with JMX hooks, but to do so from the Cloud. This means that in addition to enabling users to see inside a production Java (also JRuby) application deployed in a cloud or in a datacenter, users are free to monitor these processes from anywhere at any time.

Said Monitis Founder and CEO, Hovhannes Avoyan, “This is a big deal. This is a major step forward in the industry and we are excited to be at the forefront of this innovation. With this new addition Monitis becomes a true Swiss army knife for the IT administrators.

Monitis monitoring of Sun Java System could also be done through the SNMP mechanism used by the administrative console of the web server.

As with all Monitis tools, the new Cloud-based Java Application Monitoring tool is designed to save IT managers massive amounts of time. Sign-up and set-up take less than 5 minutes, and with Monitis’ heralded, hyper-intuitive interface, there is no learning curve – an incredible claim given that Monitis is perhaps the most powerful application performance management tool available today.
