What can op5 Monitor do for me?
Map – By putting a watchdog on your network, infrastructure, applications and traffic flow, we create a comprehensive, yet easy to understand, overview that enables simple root cause analysis. It helps you identify the primary cause of potential problems before major damage is done.

Measure – When you are aware and have an overview of the problem, you can easily benchmark and measure your internal and external IT services. This is a key element when setting priorities for future investments and IT resources.

Manage – Using the data gained from op5 Monitor you can now take advantage of proactive IT management and documented analysis information.

So how does it work?

op5 Monitor watches hosts and services that you specify, alerting you when things are about to go bad. op5 Monitor is a web-based system that comes with more then 200 active checks covering most of the standard IT environments, such as:

• Monitoring of network services
• Monitoring of host resources (processor load, disk usage, system logs)
• Monitoring of anything else like probes (temperature, alarms...) which have the ability to send collected data via a network to specifically written plugins
• Remote monitoring supported through SSH or SSL encrypted tunnels.
• Support for implementing redundant monitoring hosts
• Windows servers
• WMvare clusters
• UNIX/Linux
• Mail servers
• Routers
• Switches
• Firewalls
• Monitoring traffic patterns
• Simple plug-in design that allows users to easily develop their own service checks depending on needs, by using the tools of choice (XML, J2EE, Bash, C++, Perl, Ruby, Python, PHP, C#, etc.)
