Why is Page Load Time Important?It is evident that it doesn’t take long for small increments in web page load time to
add up to big costs for online businesses. Did you know that every 100 ms of wait
time costs Amazon 1% of profit, and every 0.5 seconds added to search page
generation on Google drops traffic by 20%? Application latency continues to be a
problem for Web 2.0 companies. To combat this issue, Monitis has added Amazon
EC2 monitoring location to its network which will be monitored locally and provideperformance data as if it were operating in the customer’s local network. Causes of
such latency can be the user infrastructure, the EC2 instance, or the applications
themselves.
Having global network coverage, Monitis external monitoring will add extra value for
Amazon cloud users by simulating the actions of end users from several countries
across the globe by monitoring and reporting the load time of web content from US,
Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia which, in turn, will ensure a seamless
user experience in web applications.
Monitis Provides Holistic View for Cloud ComputingPerformanceHave you ever wondered how companies view the performance and maintain the
health of their applications? With Monitis, IT administrators are able to have an
integrated performance dashboard with a single consolidated view for performance
values from sources such as: external Monitis worldwide monitoring network, client
deployed Monitis agents, web page traffic statistics, cloud providers API’s like
Amazon, search engine site rankings, and application’s external multi-step
transaction monitors. All these are done to help the company to keep track of their
external cloud services as well as monitor their internal infrastructure. This makes
Monitis a true software-as-a-service, the first of its kind. Other features of Monitisinclude the ability to discover, monitor and manage virtual server and software
services automatically. All cloud-computing needs are supported by Monitis on
demand instant deployment, extensibility and flexibility.
Using the Monitis Amazon EC2 System allows you to do the following tasks:
1. Ability to monitor the total number of running Amazon virtual server
instances.
2. In the event of server failures, notifications concerning the event can be
triggered.
3. A message can be received when the number of servers using Amazon
Compute Cloud exceeds certain limits.
4. Web services, databases, mail servers, TCP ports, telnet, and SSH can be
monitored based on user rules for the new servers.
5. Monitors and notification rules are added automatically for the newly
launched servers.

6. Server performance and utilization of resources can be monitored once
the Monitis Agent is automatically installed.
7. Virtual server’s CPU, memory, storage and processes can be monitored by
the Monitis Agent.
8. To prevent and predict outages in the servers, rules can be enabled in the
Monitis Amazon EC2 monitoring system.
9. Notices of server failure can be received earlier with automatic server
failure notice.
10. Configuration monitoring features are also provided with Monitis Amazon
EC2.
EC2 monitoring is a recent addition to Monitis server and network monitoring
service. It significantly automates monitoring jobs for AWS cloud resources. It gives
transparency in resource consumption, operational performance and performance
metrics including factors like CPU consumption, disk activities, and web traffic. Itmakes use of Amazon API for easy service administration. It has the following
winning features for cloud monitoring:
1. Is a lightweight tool and is easy to set up.
2. Has good performance and rich user interface
3. Can be easily adjusted to suit customer needs.
4. Watches the key cloud metrics.
5. Fits better to cloud services than the heavier counterparts.
6. Is inexpensive and uses “pay as use” payment method.
Monitis Cloud Monitor addresses the above issues by polling running instances,
recording newly started and terminated instances, and performing actions based on
user defined rules such as: Monitis Cloud alerts and additional internal and external
monitors for new running instances"
Monitis Cloud Monitor keeps control over running EC2 servers. When the EC2
management software for instance experiences heavy load on the EC2 servers it will
launch an additional instance of the EC2 server to distribute workload. This will
cause problems because one does not have control over how many instances of the
server is launched and its settings. Monitis Cloud Monitor will provide a user with a
poll of running instances after he/she has entered the AWS account details. Monitis
Cloud Monitor will record newly started and terminated instances and additionally it
will handle the user defined rules. For instance, when an additional EC2 server is
launched, the system may alert the user or setup an additional monitor for a new
instance of the EC2 server.

EC2 offers virtual server with different versions of operating systems like Linux,
Windows and Open Solaris. Monitis offers agents for all these platforms and it can
mechanically set up its software agent for checking server CPU, load, and storage
space and resource consumption. It can also initiate external http, ping, and data
record or any other monitoring. Clients can prescribe notification policies similar to
“warn me when the number of instances exceeds ten”, to ascertain the reason for
starting such a large number of instances. Users can also give instructions to notifywhen CPU consumption exceeds 80% of the capacity, and to add an agent when a
fresh instance begins and launch CPU plus storage monitoring. Thus, the new
Monitis Cloud service is effective in time management as also in the management
of clients` infrastructure
Monitis provides the following advantages for EC2 users:
1. Containment of potential run-away costs of mis-configured or faulty auto-
scaling of the service by providing customizable user alerts in a timely
manner.
2. Automatic monitoring of performance and up-time of EC2-hosted web sites.
This is much simpler to accomplish than using external services since URL
discovery can be automated as virtual servers come online.
3. Configuration options to seamlessly aler the user as new instances are
launched and terminated.
4. Logging of virtual server events and performance history to aid fault-finding
and root cause analysis.
5. Application monitoring for each virtual server as well as other server
parameters to simplify the management of multiple cloud-based servers.
Monitis combined with Amazon EC2 is truly a perfect mix. The efficiency and the
reliability provided by the system is yet unmatched. Any IT developer or site
administrator would definitely find Monitis a must for server management. To get
