Creating and Sharing Reports in Monitis. An Easy Task.

POSTED ON: March 9, 2011 POSTED BY don

We’ve gotten good feedback from our video tutorials so far so we’re going to make some more. Reporting IT performance is one of the tasks of an IT administrator. It has often been a pain, so we tried to design our reporting module to make this process as effortless as possible. You can create and manage custom reports for any monitor or a group of monitors using the Add Report wizard located in the Monitis dashboard. These will show uptime and response time numbers on a monthly, weekly, daily, or custom basis. Once you click add, the report gets added to the dashboard and populated with data. You can select different views, like line chart, bar chart, table, etc. You can export the data as a PDF or CSV. You can also make it a public report with your logo, perfect for sharing with clients. You can also have reports emailed to a list of contacts periodically by going to Reports>Emailed Reports. For added convenience, you have the option of turning emailed reports on while adding new contacts.

Cloud Security Big Topic in San Francisco

POSTED ON: March 7, 2011 POSTED BY don

Boy, taking a look at some of the sessions for the RSA Conference 2011 in San Francisco during February 14-18, it sure looks like, as the saying goes, what’s old is new again.

I’m talking about the issue of cloud security, specifically many organizations’ hesitancy about switching apps and data to the cloud because there seems to be too much evidence of security breaches and performance outages, for example, the famous invasion of Chinese expatriates’ Google email accounts by the censorious Chinese government.

Here’s what I mean; just take a look at some of the lineup sessions:

11 Top Server Management & Monitoring Software

POSTED ON: February 22, 2011 POSTED BY Mikayel Vardanyan

IT pros the world over wouldn’t be caught dead without server management software because it takes so much of the manual burden off managing servers and other critical applications.  Server management is required to to enhance the up-time of servers. Based on the server system, management plans may vary. Yet the bottom line is that proper server management software will guarantee the security and stability of servers throughout its lifespan.

Being huge machines, physical servers occupy both space and power.  Further, servers need cooling systems to keep them functioning. However, as the virtualization of servers becomes more popular, companies aren’t focusing much on physical servers. Virtualizing servers helps in reducing time, investment and energy expenditures, and they also reduce the cooling costs of servers.

Hosted server monitoring solutions like Monitis save enormous amounts of time for system and network admins, as cloudware enables you to get things done much faster and cheaper than by installing software products in-house. I’ve already covered the benefits of multi-tenant web solutions versus software solutions in my blog post Why Cloud-based Monitoring is more reliable and secure than Nagios, and we have also covered it in our white paper – Monitoring from the Cloud:  Monitis versus In-House Monitoring Software. By the way, I urge you to read them both.

But if you’re still interested in software solutions for some reason, below are a review of the popular server management software products:
