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
